    Dental Hygienist Experience

    I remember clearly as a young boy, going to my father’s work, to visit for a routine checkup and people asking me, “are you gonna clean teeth like your daddy?” I would look at them with the utmost confusion, as to why I would want to put my fingers in another person’s mouth. All my life I had been raised around the dental field with my dad asking me every morning and every night if I brushed my teeth and flossed, or standing right behind me watching the brushing strokes to make sure I wasn’t cutting the cleaning short. As a kid I did as I was told but it was never my dream to be a dentist, dental hygienist, or be involved in the dental field in any way. When I was in eighth grade, I fell in love with history and archaeology, and my dad as one…
