because when the oral hygenist is talking to you, it is decidedly hard to respond when there is a scraper thingy in your mouth one second and a splash of water and a vaccuum tube the next.
if they really wanted you to respond, then they would probably give you a little more time between rinses to say something. otherwise, you do nothing more than grunt or try to talk without moving your lips or tongue.
also, it dawned on me that you really spend more time with the hygenist than with the actual dentist.
the dentist just looks at the x-rays, checks for cavities, and checks your bite and I think your lymphnodes or something.
this takes all of 5 minutes, if that...
... ... ...
oh well, even with all of this new technology, my trips to the dentist seem to take just as long...
well, except for the amount of time that I wait - or in my case, don't have to wait.
I'm pretty much in when I'm scheduled and I'm out in about 40 minutes...
... ... ...
so I got that going for me...
