Clean squeaky teeth

I just got back from the Dentist's office and had my teeth cleaned. This is horribly picky, I suppose, but I absolutely HATE the way hygenists get you in the chair, fill your mouth with equipment and then tell you their life's story.
You can't get up. You can't interrupt. You have to lie back while they poke and prod you ("I'm sorry, did that hurt?") and tell you about their cousin's cancer or their boyfriend or their political opinions.
It's one of life's annoyances, like television commercials, except hygenists have no off button.
