What does the hygienist do if a patient is completely uncooperative, overly fearful, or demonstrates highly aggressive behavior?
A well-trained and experienced non-anesthetic dental (NAD) hygienist can usually tell within a few minutes whether the patient’s temperament will allow for a successful procedure. In some cases, they are able to calm fearful pets enough to allow for a full cleaning. Other times, though, they will determine that the patient’s temperament simply is not conducive to anesthesia-free treatment and they will recommend an alternative treatment approach.
