Dental Hygenists in Hilo

[ChunksterK]

My dentist can't seem to keep hygenists on staff.  In the almost 20 years I've been going there, I can recall only once when I got the same one twice in a row.  When they leave, it throws the schedule off, and sometimes it's a month or more before they can get me back in.  It doesn't help that they are often part timers.  My dentist is OK, but I would switch if there are others who can keep to a schedule.

Is this common with other Hilo dentists?  I know there are shortages of health professionals, but this guy can't seem to keep one once he hires them.

I have been very happy with Mauna Family Dental. When I was there in January for a cleaning I seem to recall that they were accepting new patients.

Here's a link to their website:
