>> My personal schedule and why I like this job so much is
because I have a part time schedule, to an extent.
I work four day a week, eight hour days, but the nice part about being a hygienist is
that there's a lot of flexibility between part time, full time,
and once I started having kids, that was important to me.
I think that right now, I see 11 patients a day, but I think that's a lot of patients.
I think that a lot of other offices, you know, you can see between, you know,
in an eight hour day six to nine patients, probably on average.
I think that it can be challenging physically.
You know, it's a lot repetitiveness.
So, the repetitive stress of, you know, sometimes your hand get sore,
or your neck and your back can be sore.
But, you try to switch positions and kind of maintain like good ergonomics.
But, I think that what I like best about it, is he interaction with the patients.
So, you know, enjoy my patients.
I've been with this practice now for 13 years, so you really get to know people
over you know three, four, six month recall schedule.
You get to know their families, and you know, their, about their lives.
So, I like that interaction.
And I like making them feel good about their smile.
