The hygienist was very gentle, and took her time, but I don't feel like my teeth were as clean as usual after a cleaning. She could definitely be a little more aggressive with the scraping and much more aggressive with the polishing because it seemed like she didn't have the speed/ power up high enough when she applied even slight pressure on each tooth and the polisher only began to spin when she lifted it to move to the next tooth. The dentist was very sweet and personable, but I'll have to build trust with any new dentist due to past experiences from places like Aspen and Comfort treating me like a retail customer and selling unnecessary dental work then doing a terrible job at it. My only real complaint is that no one asked if I needed a work excuse before I left, so I had to call back for one the next day, but this seems to be something that no providers are asking anymore for some reason even though there are soooo many things to think about before leaving an appointment such as scheduling, asking follow-up questions, etc. Luckily the front desk person made that a friendly and easy experience to send an excuse to me.
