0 HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted September 17, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 17, 2014 They have a boatload of Hygenist. The should call the place cleanings are us. I get it done every 6 months like clockwork. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascomdepot68 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 For what it is worth the VA has job announcements out for hiring dental hygienists. Whether they have them at your particular VA facility is something else. Maybe call what facility is nearest (like a VAMC or VA Hospital, not a CBOC) and ask them? Good luck.

0 babyray Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I am in new Orleans and I have my teeth cleaned every 6 month. You can bet your bottom dollar that they have hygienists on duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 18, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 18, 2014 They consider tooth cleaning an exam. If you tell them your tooth hurts they will pull in a second. When you ask about an implant to replace it they get deaf. At least in my case. When they did anything besides cleaning my teeth they fouled it up. I think they cost me two teeth that I replaced on my own dime. I am going to get them for that. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
