Professionalism and Honesty in the Dental Office

       As a hygienist it is not my place to diagnosis.  Over the years I have worked for many wonderful dentists.  They all have a different styles...some very conservative to very aggressive. There is that gray area...but if they treat their friends and family the same way I don't question their treatment.   I do not want to sit there knowing the dentist is not being forthright with the insurance company(easy to do) and eventually the patient.  The patients are the innocent ones that expect us to be professionals and honest with them.  When I sit there knowing that dishonesty is in progress.... I feel like the driver in the get away car!  That's the time to find another job!
