Even people from the same class with the same grades have a per-hour discrepancy that defies logic. We bet there isn’t a dental hygienist reading this post who thinks they’re over paid. So, really, what does being over paid mean?

3 Baked-in-the-Cake Dental Office Enabling Behaviors Has a patient every said they missed an appointment because you didn’t remind them? How about the patients shopping for home care products in your office to take home by the bag full at no charge? Then there are the confessors asking for forgiveness and absolution for not flossing. Dental hygienists themselves have created or contributed to these behaviors in overt and subtle non-examined ways. Dental hygienists, like the loved ones in a family, can unwitting become the codependent enablers for the patients they serve.
