Man: In a, in my practice, you know, the hygienist are the biggest and
best educators of patients. They are, you know, have the time to
spend one on one with people that, unfortunately, I don't always
have. So their job of educating people on their home care, on
the importance of their home care, on various techniques to make
their home care better is so invaluable for my practice. I mean
they literally are, you know, spend a lot more time individually
with patients that I do. And, you know, they, I am very blessed
to have, I think some of the very best hygienists around.
Woman: I love it. He is, we share the same philosophies on how to
treat people and on the type of quality of care we want to
provide. And so it's real easy. And the way he is with his staff
is the way he is with all of his patients.
Man: We see a lot, unfortunately, of tooth decay related to the effects,
long term effects of sugar and the acids which are in all these
various, you know, energy drinks and soda. And, you know, it's
probably the biggest cause of tooth decay now in our society.
It's still carbonated drinks.
Woman: Well, most people don't floss on a regular basis. But a common
mistake is they just don't come in regular enough. They think
that when they come to the dentist that it's going to hurt or
just because of a past experience that they've had. And so
they're afraid. Now, what we do is we can't do everything. A
patient is responsible for what they do at home and we're just
there to help keep everything as healthy as possible and guide
them with that.
