[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our dental office can't find enough hygienist. 3 people in our family are now 3+ months over due for our cleaning with no appointment for the future. We had appointments but the office called and said they don't have enough staff and that they would reschedule as soon as they get someone.  I have searched and the closest option that takes our insurance is an hour away.

Ours has the same problem. . Our dentist is excellent- so much so that people move away and fly back twice a year for the appointments. We're talking flying to Chicago from Seattle. The best hygienist was about 10 years out from retiring but suffered a career-ending shoulder overuse injury. They have brought in rotating temporary hygienists who are basically semi-retired travel hygienists who they pay a fortune in order to cover the appointments that are scheduled a year out. He has said that he cannot hire hygienists and there aren't enough skilled hygienists to go around who do the kind of work he does in his practice, which isn't crazy extensive but is more than just the basics. When the last 3 of his permanent hygienists retire, we're in trouble.[/quote]
