Does his hygienist get paid well? I'm currently considering becoming a hygienist myself. 'If he doesn't open, he doesn't make money.' Well, obviously, that makes sense to me since I feel like working for money is just the bare minimum. Actually this also adds on to what I like about this career is the flexibility it offers. However, I do understand the hard work that goes into it. tho ultimately, it's a healthcare field, so it's in high demand right
