A Hygienist’s Perspective

How often does a hygienist hear of a patient wanting a 2nd opinion?

I normally see 8 patients per day ranging from routine cleanings to complicated Scaling/Root surface cleanings. I also see the new patients that come into the practice, they are always seen in hygiene before moving to the treatment side of clinic. I make sure to get to know all of my patients and what motivates them to come to a new dentist’s office. At least 2-3 times per week I hear the same story; “I’m here because I need a 2nd opinion”. Which is why when I heard about Second Dental, I knew it would be a great option for patients in this boat!

Most of us seek a second opinion when making big investments, so why not do the same when investing in your oral health?

Investing in your smile is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Making sure you are getting the highest quality, most accurate, and best priced treatment is of the upmost importance. As a dental hygienist, I have the opportunity to see a variety of people and many different cases. Often times, I get people in my chair that are looking for a second opinion due to a lack of trust, comfortability, and/or outrageous prices. Most times, they are frustrated with the extra time, money, and resources it takes to receive a second opinion. Second Dental is an innovative, quality, and efficient way to receive the second opinion you are looking for from the comfort of your home.
