You never have to worry about kissing somebody with bad breath when you are with a hygienist! You better bet they brush at least twice per day, as well as floss daily. Hygienists know what a diseased mouth looks like and won’t be having any of that! Kissing a hygienist is so fresh and so clean!
3) Hygienists Have Time for Family
