The Wisdom Tooth




I think my hygienist is cute. Should I act on it?

WT: Bad idea. Seriously.

The thermostat at my office is a battleground. What’s the step before a lock box?

WT: 75 degrees. It’s the Switzerland of temperatures. If you’re hot, drink a glass of ice water. If you’re cold, put on a sweater and keep working. Ask your staff to avoid adjusting the thermostat, and chill out, will ya?


What do you do with moms who stand over their children while you’re working on the kids?

WT: Helicopter moms are bad. But be thankful they’re not bulldozer moms. The ones that push you out of the way saying "let me do it." Try scaring her away with the squirt gun (a/w syringe). A few spritzes and she should back off. Or just start swinging the operating light around until she backs away...
or forgets to duck.

My hygienists are always on Hygienetown, so I blocked it in my office. But then one of them saw me posting on Dentaltown and told everyone. How am I supposed to get their respect back?

WT: Unblock Hygienetown.
It’s really the only logical
solution here.
