Hey! Whats up? I'm studying to be a dental hygienist

Good for you! That's a great job. I bet you brush at least twice a day ;)

I do! Sometimes more! It's easy to brush my own teeth but, I'm actually pretty afraid of other people's saliva. I'm kinda afraid of becoming a hygienist because of it.

I can see that. The mouth has a lot of bacteria in it, from tooth decay, and you're working inside of it. Maybe the more you practise the less scared you'll be.

Yeah that's true. There's also a lot of tools, instruments, and procedures developed for hygienists to keep them away from their patient's saliva. I will at least have gloves!

Thank goodness for the gloves! How much longer will you be trained for? Have you learned about treating and preventing oral diseases yet?
