"The Hygienist Did the Cleaning Too Fast?"

  When you have been cleaning teeth for 44 years..all the bugs have been worked out! When a patient says to the Dentist or receptionist that the cleaning was too fast they are not complaining as much as they want validation that even though it took less time it was as good a cleaning as previous cleaning that took longer.  When  dentists take that statement as criticism and conveys that criticism  to the hygienist  things go downhill. First the dentist has verified to the patient he employs sub-par hygienists. The hygienist starts 'going through the motions'.  Hygienists are above average in intelligence and work ethic or they would never have been accepted to dental hygiene school.  I refuse spending my workday going through the motions, root planing teeth that don't need it and feeling like I'm not doing an adequate job just because I'm experienced and can do the job faster than a beginner.                              OR
    In my case I realize sometimes I am sloppy....I go though the motions and miss a place. I will deserve the criticism..which I realize is constructive...fine line.
