My dentist did not floss my teeth.
I had a cleaning done by my dental office about two weeks ago. I am not really sure the did a good job at cleaning my teeth and feel a little riped off. The reason is the dentist I use to go to before this one would have their assistant floss then polish my teeth. This place did not floss my teeth. I always got my teeth flossed before.
Is this office just being lazy or cheap? I though when you get a cleaning flossing was part of the process. So I was surprised that they did not floss my teeth. The dentist seem to be working hard with scrapping my teeth so I think the dentist was okay, but the assistant did not finish the job

It’s may not have necessary for them to floss your teeth. The dentist scraped your teeth and used the tools, in order to remove all the plaque from your teeth.
My dentist does not floss my teeth either. They expect me to be doing that. The question would be if your teeth do not look and feel cleaner. If you still feel they did a bad job then either ask them to floss next time or go to a different dentist.

Your dentist may have use a ultrasonic instrument is much more affective then floss. Therefore not requiring them to floss.
Maybe you will want to remember to ask them this for next time. I would not rule out going back to this dentist over whether they should or should not floss after a cleaning.
