Shxty depending on who your working for

Lol she something else

Thank you! 🥰

Usually in the appointment description it’ll say what they’re coming in for, so i go based of that

@@woahdenia4760 oohh gotcha! Thanks 🙏🏼

And how is it?

Hi Carissa, How did your dental schooling go? ... I'm a dental assistant myself 😊

They do when the patient is only going in for their cleaning and checkup, hygienist takes X-rays , does cleaning and at the end doctor goes in to do exam. When patient goes in for treatment it’s just me and doctor.

Inflatable Katy, they have mini golf, batting cages and gokarts too !

Cool! Thank you 😊

2 Dentistas

Thank you! Yes!

I got my job as a dental assistant with no experience

Thank you! You could start at that office to get experience and build your resume, while you find another office you like better. And I learned almost everything within 2 weeks

Thank you! I was provided with the books at school and from there we took notes during class

True but none of us does everything perfectly. I'm sure if you did a video or was followed around we can point out your mistakes.

Willing to bet there are literally no assistant would put on gloves to set up simple treatments like resto or a crown prep etc. UNLESS you are doing oral surgeries like implant and such then yes they will.

The pouches were sterile, it’s not like she opened the pouch with her bare hands. It’s fine.

You can touch the sterile pouch without gloves. But you cannot open them without gloves. I will say though, those surgical evacuation tips should absolutely be in sterile pouches! 😬

Should definitely wear gloves when touching the crown.

In school we were thought the basics, like the set up for fillings and such. But everything else I learned when I started working. And remember every doctor works differently and prefer different materials and instruments, so it’s all just a learning curb and adjusting to the office and doctor ☺️

It’s true. The pay depends alot on experience, the specialty your working in, and even the state you work in.

You have to have your RDA license or CDA if you want the good money

I’m in Arkansas starting pay with your RDA certs is usually around $12 an hour. We definitely do not get paid what we deserve.

For me, I don’t have any experience so I’ll be trained on the job. I’m starting at $18/hr and my boss wants me to get my RDA certification and then I’ll be paid $21/hr.

@@ariel-sc4en Too low!!

Congratulations! My experience at my first 2 jobs was okay, I did learn alot but I found that those were not the type of offices I wanted to stay at for a long time (pediatrics). I’m currently working in a private office where 95% of our patients are adult, so treatment is different. Pay depends on alot of things, experience, location, specialty and so on. But I am satisfied with my job, it’s very rewarding. In my case I get to build a friendship almost with my patients and it’s feels awesome when they come back and remember your name and appreciate your work!

I'm also a dental assistant :) I am satisfied with my job I can actually say I love it and I enjoy it too, it's scary to learn something new but it's good to get out there and learn. The office I'm at is my first job as a dental assistant and I gotta say the drs have been very patient with me. All I gotta say is that any job will have it's ups and downs, you will have good days n bad ones too but it's part of every job.

@@woahdenia4760 this is something I was thinking about doing in a private/small office how long are your hours? And how are your lunch bre?

@@latonyahall2086 hours are from 8-5:30ish and hour is an hour long 😊

Pay is 100% not worth it.

You’re welcome! I have met several male assistants throughout my career, and actually had a few male classmates. School for me was 9 months plus the externship hours we had to do, finished does in about a month and half. But I do know every school is different and I’ve heard of people only doing school for 3 months, so definitely recommend doing research. And about the IV or draw blood no we don’t.

@@woahdenia4760 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!! the information is much appreciated!!

I’m going to school august 8 as a RDA and my schooling is only 6 weeks long .
