Why do dental hygienist ask questions and while scaling and cleaning teeth? Seriously?
So, how was your weekend? Any plans this summer?
Not exactly a yes or no or short answer kind of question.
Is it a game? Do they want to make things go longer?
Can they translate the responses given?
So how is the family? Kids doing well?
I'm trying to signal to them to suck out the saliva and other stuff from my mouth and try not to gag and force my tongue to mess with their progress.
Various audible glugs and ahuh, other hums and hand gestures to express a response of sorts. Be polite. Don't want someone with pointy instruments poking around my mouth to take offence or misinterpret my response.
Can't I just watch the tv screen they have on or close my eyes and let them do their thing in peace?
What is the etiquette?
I'm good with the advice or input.
Ah! You are doing good with your flossing.
You still need to floss more though.
