What To Do With Downtime In The Hygiene Schedule
Sandie Baillargeon Posted on July 4th, 2018 Dental hygienists have a strong relationship with your patients and although there is an abundance of hygienists who are looking for jobs, it is important that dentists don’t take for granted the value of the patient- hygienist relationship. In most cases, the patients will see the hygienist more often than they see the dentist and for a longer period of time.
