I learned why Dentists and Hygentists can be such jerks...

I finally broke down and went to the dentist a few weeks ago. And of course, the hygentist started in on me about how much tartar had built up etc. I told him I didn't need to hear that, just do your job. And he said the most revealing thing "Well that's what you are paying me for". He actually believes that ragging on people *is his job*. Like somehow he thinks that's really going to make any difference in my behavior. That was so interesting. Particularly from a practice that advertises "will create a comfortable environment..." on their website.
