[@Daffodils2Daisies]

This is better training than I’ve had in my 2 months working as an assistant

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Where are you from dental assistant

[@owaisarif7997]

Can you tell me the salary of dental assistant?

[@madelinemitchell5376]

I just started as a DA recently and this video has helped tremendously in suction placement. Thank you!

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Glad it could help. Stick with it and you'll love dentistry and helping patients.

[@Highsunrey]

Just do what feels comfortable to you. I’ve been an assistant for 11 years and frequently stand due to my height. I ensure to do core exercises to stay strong and stretching :) you all got this! Take care of yourselves

[@erbeargeanicepelaezragland]

I'm on my last month of school before my externship at uei college Phoenix and i found this incredibly helpful thabk you

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Best of luck in your new career. You'll love it!!!

[@cailahbigueira5100]

Standing while assisting will damage your assistants body over time.

[@MmmmKjkjj]

I find it unfair that he’s sitting and she’s standing… and you’re so right

[@JAP2069]

@@MmmmKjkjjsome people prefer to stand

[@AkujiL-nc1ce]

Genuine question, how does standing destroy the body?

[@linapari5.462]

​@@AkujiL-nc1cethe assistant can get varicose vein due to standing for long time

[@hriatchhunga189]

I saw people thousands and thousands standing and working harder under the sun...nothing happen, If she get prob​lem then she is weak as hell not fit...maybe just like your mind.@@linapari5.462

[@squirrelboss7067]

I just subscribed!😊 I’m going back to work after staying home for a few years raising my family. I’m a bit rusty and need all the help I can get. I can’t thank you enough for your time and help. So, again, thank you for this video and please make more like it!

[@PivotDentalCompany]

I hope you like getting back into it. It's a great field to be in.

[@aymeeteee]

May I ask if you were able to go back to work? I’m in the same situation and I want to return to work but it’s been years so I’m not sure what I can do especially since certifications are up

[@briheehee3344]

Dental assistant in training here! Thanks for the video, it's super informative! How long has the assistant been working with you? and how long did it take for the procedure to run so smoothly?

[@PivotDentalCompany]

I've been a dentist for 26 years. It's always a work in progress. It usually takes about 10-20 patients with the same procedure before an assistant has it down.

[@kristenb5177]

In some states the dental nurses are the ones that replace the filling The Dentist removes the decay and the Nurse does the dental filling

[@kaitlyneg]

Love your videos! Helps me stay prepared as a new assistant.

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Glad it's helping!

[@DM-bm1vg]

Love your vids I’m a dental assistant student and I’m learning so much can u do a RCT

[@sikandarbegg5937]

Your voice over is really helpful to understand the entire procedure. One suggestion it is very stressful to stand and assit one of my friend ended up this profession coz of lower back pain arises and he needed to left this profession.

[@zl012]

Can you upload a version with the original sound? And also from a above the face angle too to see better

[@drfaisalshahid]

Hi, What do you use to disinfect the curing light and etchant as there was no sleeve?

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Wipe them down with a disinfectant wipe (Birex)

[@SadieSchwartzbeck]

Standing during assisting is inhumane and selfish.

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Nobody if forcing them to stand. Seriously!

[@yankylock4615]

Why is the suction touching the assistant's pulse at 7:51? Not hygienic for the patient and for the assistant.

[@lotto7249]

It was hovering over it

[@yankylock4615]

@lotto7249 It just didn't look like it

[@ST-ql1yy]

I absolutely would not stand all day and to ask that of your assistants while you’re sitting is cruel. The only time I stand is if it is a hard to reach area for me. Assistant chairs are made to go higher than the operator for a reason.

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Assistant can choose to sit or stand. I don't make them stand. I'm not cruel. Plus, I know that an assistant chair can move up and down. Thanks for input.

[@Wanderrap]

And the dentist is proud that the assistant is standing.You know that it will damage or affect the body in the long run,right?That is why they don’t advise assistant to be standing and learning to sit down

[@biohack215]

Totally confident there was adequate isolation for that composite filling? Better isolation, better the filling, no? Looked like moisture could have got in their quite easily? Curious why rubber dams around routine for composite fillings.

[@PivotDentalCompany]

I have the luxury of being in the same office for 25 years and see my work come back in for check ups. I'm happy to report this technique is working well. Very rare is there a debonding or recurrent decay situation.

[@tundra00]

Was he supposed to polish the composite. Or some composites don’t require polishing?

[@PivotDentalCompany]

A fluted bur at the end creates a smooth surface.

[@TRAYSUME]

Great video!

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Thank you.

[@AloveA23]

We do the fillings as a da Dr preps and adjusts

[@bluejesus2978]

About to start my program any tips on good study methods programs

[@kekasengupta4528]

Molar restoration without a rubber dam? That’s risky!

[@PivotDentalCompany]

I don't think so.

[@MaverickDMD]

Risky? How so? Just need skilled moisture control.

[@Surisadai76]

Me I am Dental assitant bit I l9ve to work stand up cause I have better vision and I can improve better my position and I have a great view about where I gonna put my suction without disturb the dentist

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Great!

[@tundra00]

What’s the name of the instrument he’s using after the composite gun on? 4:05

[@PivotDentalCompany]

We just call it a plugger. Your supply rep can show you various sizes.

[@JeffriesAnitra]

I came across your video while looking through KZbin to find some training videos. And this video is great. I'm somewhat a new dental assistant, and I don't really have any experience. But it's so hard to get hired as a dental assistant with no experience. It is very frustrating!!!!! How can I ever get experience if no one will hire me?!?!?!?😔😔😔😔🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

[@sundominga]

Take a dental assistant course.

[@JeffriesAnitra]

@sundominga I'm sorry, but you even read my comment?? I have already completed a dental assisting program, my issue is getting hired as a new dental assistant with no experience...That's the dilemma right now.

[@Milagrosblanco684]

Try starting working at a corporate practice instead of a private practice. I did this because they required little to no experience. Once you got a hold of the basics try getting into a private practice or dental temp agency.

Hi Doc ! Ali JahPharaoh PTah el former colleague Multipurpose Dental Assistant turned comic.

[@grgumgee1]

Max molars that’s what I need a video on lol

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Subscribe and maybe your wish will Come true someday. :)

[@YazmitaZ]

I would stand purely so I could see what I was doing 😂 but as you get better you know where to place things and can take seat for your poor backs sake

[@Elizabeth-ve1bd]

I was told by the doctor I worked for you can see better sitting 🧐

[@PivotDentalCompany]

It’s a matter of preference

[@che182015]

No dental dam while doing a composite? hmmmmmm

[@PivotDentalCompany]

Yes. I've been doing composites in my office without a rubber dam for 25+ years and no problems.

[@drmousa7863]

Rubber dam isolation 😏

[@laporchacomic8143]

I should of worked with you. (R.D.A)
