Dental Hygienist Obsession

Does anyone else LOVE visiting their hygienist? It's something I constantly look forward to. I visit every 3 months despite there being no clinical need as I love the experience so much. I'm also registered with a second dentist who cleans my teeth once a year so that's 5 cleans total.

Making sure my brushing and interdental cleaning is perfect in the weeks leading up. Checking my teeth with a dental mirror to look for any signs of buildup or decay and measuring my periodontal spaces with my William probe. The anticipation of the appointment looming; will my gums still get good BPE scores? The nervous feeling in the waiting room. The intense vibrations of the ultrasonic scaler with the occasional tinge of sensitivity as the sharp point blasts away calculus between my lower front teeth. Then the soothing feeling of the polisher buffing away.

The feeling after a good clean is unmatched. Smiling with confidence knowing my pearly whites look perfect and having the reassurance of being told your gums are in good condition with no tooth decay.

I'm sooo tempted to get an independent hygienist so I can get cleanings even more frequently. There's a practice in Northwich offering a plan which includes a hygienist cleaning EVERY MONTH! I'd also love to try an Airflow clean although I'm worried that the lack of pain might feel less rewarding. Saying that, it might help with a pesky stain between my upper central incisors which the hygienist never seems to quite reach.

Let me know your thoughts on the hygienist 😬🦷🪥

I hate dealing with the dentist, but I’ve enjoyed dealing with some of the very attractive female hygienists. They’re not intentionally trying to get me sexually excited, but they do, just by being caring, and sitting close to me. It’s actually a very intimate feeling, even if it’s only a fantasy. I would imagine that there are many people who crave any attention from the opposite sex. No doubt, there are many guys who act like idiots around them, and scare them off.

I have not seen a hygienist in years. My dentist had one on staff but during COVID she declined to work due to her own potential health issues with possible exposure so my dentist took over cleanings. She never returned to the job and my dentist has been doing my cleanings since then. Actually works out faster now because I do not have to wait around for him to do a checkup after the hygienist would do the cleaning. He is checking everything while doing the cleaning so I am in and out in about 20 minutes. Part of that also was having switched to tartar control toothpaste and mouthwash years ago. He used to have to do a lot of scraping and work with the ultrasonic descaler before cleaning. That too is very quick as I have been having little tartar buildup now and he even noted that I should keep doing what I am doing.

I enjoy going to the dentist compared to most. My hygienist is good at what she does and is attractive. I only go every 6 months, but would not mind going more frequent. Teeth and mouth always feel great afterwards. While sitting in the chair it is not as pleasant as thinking about it before and after. My next cleaning is right after the new year and it will be exciting!

Reminds me of my disability school, where some students were assisted with brushing. Nothing inappropriate just gentle help, now smile for the nurse.
