Hmm... I guess you're right. My childhood dentist, my dentist in AZ, my current dentist, my orthodontist, the orthodontist that I consulted with, the oral surgeon, and the periodontist... all male with female staff.
I did have half a consult with a female ortho, but the office staff was terrible, so I bailed on that. The ortho herself seemed okay. I was also trying to get in for consults with a few other orthos, some female, but they didn't have room in their schedules, and my first two consults were nearly identical.
In Arizona, one of the female hygenists was from somewhere in South America (don't remember which country). She had actually been studying to be a dentist there (I think she had almost completed the program). But when she moved to the U.S., her credentials or credits or whatever didn't transfer, so she decided to just become a hygenist instead, since it would take less time. Let me just say that she was an awesome hygenist!
