Patient Letter – Hygienist Shortage Update
Dear Friends,
We want to take a moment to update you on an issue that is affecting many dental offices, including ours. Across Washington and nationwide, there is a severe shortage of dental hygienists. Unfortunately, this means that it may be difficult to schedule hygiene appointments in the near future, and availability will be more limited than we would like.
We know that regular cleanings and preventive care are very important to your health, and we share in your frustration. Please know that our entire team is working hard to find solutions so we can continue to care for you in the best way possible.
In the meantime, we remain committed to being here for you. If you have concerns, need to schedule an exam, or have any urgent dental needs, please reach out — we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We are grateful for your trust and look forward to continuing to provide your care.
With appreciation,
The team at Healthy Expressions Dental
