My dental hygienist is always giving me crap for not flossing well enough. Every time she’s scraping away with her instruments, she’ll comment that my gums are bleeding and that I should be making a better effort to floss. Well Debbie, did it ever occur to you that I might be bleeding because you’re tickling my gums with a vibrating metal hook? Some people just aren’t immune to sharp objects, you know.

I’ve had the comments told to me, maybe the doctors all get a handbook that they give to their nurses which gives a list of things they can say to the patients to make the patients feel less superior to the dentists themselves.
