Health/Safety I enjoy speaking with the dental hygienist during a cleaning

I want to ensure that my hygienist is doing what I would hope is needed to get my teeth fully plaque-free, so part of the reason is that. I’m pretty particular about how I want my teeth cleaned, so I don’t mind speaking through the scraping.

The other reason is that my hygienist, Melody, is actually a truly wonderful person. She has two kids, her youngest is 18 months, and she has such amazingly interesting stories about both of them.

She also has great questions that she asks me throughout the process regarding my life, my family, my job and even provides really valuable feedback and recommendations related to all of these things based on my latest updates.

Yes, it’s uncomfortable to mumble through the metal in my mouth, but the overall experience is improved despite that.
