1) I don’t necessarily get bored, because like what TaxyMom said, every patient is different. There are times when I get kind of burnt out feeling from working long hours and having neck/back pain.
2) I practice near Chicago, IL and have been doing hygiene for about 3 years.
3) I would say having good social skills. It helps make your patients feel much more comfortable if you are able to have some casual conversations other than just “tooth talk”. It’s also nice you have good social skills so you are able to work well with your team of clinical staff.
