Today. I am sniffling from my dental cleaning appointment. New gal, didn’t want to listen from the get go. I have an abscessed gum on each side of my mouth and she was not gentle even after explaining it to her. My hubby was there with his hand on my shoulder while I sobbed in that chair. He agreed she was rude to me and we will find another hygienist somewhere else. She said to ask for someone else next time she was done with me. F her.
