A DENTAL ASSISTANTS WORST NIGHTMARE

[@sharonmyers9024]

Spot on! I will add the patient who always refuses radiographs and the patient who is upset about cost of tx or a billing issue and takes it out on you.

[@jc73871]

The extraction post ops made me laugh! I have discussed keeping physical activity low and cease alcohol only to have patients tell me they played 18 holes of golf or had wine while line dancing all night. Duh***%%##!##@#@$%@&@*@*(!!!!!!!!! Take responsibility!!! Also: the bozos who have red wine right after Zoom. $500 down the drain and she had the nerve to be mad at me!!!

[@dearestkira]

“Do you know how much I have to go do, Karen??” 🤣🤣

[@Lipy_dogy]

Preach sister. I can relate to every single one of these and had a patient in mind for every one “I only bleed when I come here”

[@pepsiesme7496]

You should do day in the life of a dental assistant!!

[@veggiesloot6486]

the one dislike is from karen

[@NS-yz8ym]

I never had problems with patients because I know to handle them but some colleagues are the worst part..huh!

[@skywonder3173]

Yess I relate to all of them but I feel you so hard with the one “I have a lot of things to do Karen” cuz this one happens a lot to me in my office

[@kristinaarchibald4213]

I really love your channel. I'm still in my first year of assisting and I was hired with absolutely no knowledge of dentistry at all. So it's been a wild ride but your channel has really helped me out in a lot of ways. ❤❤

[@cosmicshen88]

how about the talkers. my doc usually says okay remember he likes to talk alot so put the bite block in. LOL

[@melaniegraces]

This is so damn relatable 😂

[@ladybugcstars]

yes! the toxic saliva! omg so annoying

[@candyrayne215]

pt kept coughing and spiting during entire procedure. the mere thought of my suction made her gag so every min shes spitting in bowl fine. dr needs to cement the crown with PERMANENT cement(c. after getting everything ready making sure shes fine, not coughing not gagging, we precede. Tooth was placed and before he could do anything shes spitting and gagging and had to start all over. ugh

[@mchobbit2951]

While I get that this is annoying, please believe me when I say that it's also very annoying for the patient. We just want it to be over as soon as possible as well.

[@MsDstarr]

I see you.. I can SOOOOOOO relate! I remember those days! I miss it though.

[@jc73871]

What about the buddy of the doctor? Takes extra, extra time. Doesn't pay bill, always late and changes treatment plan.

[@Lilacstarcat]

What about people with large torus mandibularis and taking X-Rays. 👀

[@Odeyawicca99]

Holly that’s why you use snaparay with cotton roll, I’ve learned it the hard way 😭😭 The rings and the rods don’t help when it comes to patients like that lol

[@FAROMEL67]

I love your videos! CA RDA from the last 17 years now gathering info to start getting ready for my DANB...thinking of moving to Texas soon, any advice?

[@FAROMEL67]

BTW...I already ordered MODERN DENTAL and planning to use this book as guide to pass my DANB test, I check your video on recommendations to pass the test and saw your recommendations 😎

[@ryansankari3231]

Thank you sooo much for sharing! I’m a new RDA and your videos are on point!

[@clarisakimgarcia7071]

If it’s possible could you do a video about mixing ketac I always have issues mixing that thanks Cheyenne!😁

[@ceciliagurrola1694]

Hello I love you videos can you please do a video on what to take the first day of school like tooth, toothpaste, school supplies uniform etc. Would love to know and been prepared for DAS???

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

To begin with I thought you were talking about primary/secondary school, now I see what you mean! 😂 Best of luck with your studies! 🦷❤

[@johannakagarice7681]

So I've been watching your videos here lately cuz I am thinking about a career change into this field. But something happened to me one time at the dentist & I've wondered ever since how common it is.. so I believe he was attaching my first (& only 🤞) crown and it slipped out of his forcep (?) and almost went down my throat! Thankfully the back of my tongue stopped it, but does that happen often??

[@megganpage3620]

I've only been an assistant for 6 months and i can relate to the "monster tongue" one!!

[@jadismom]

This is so relatable lmao 😂

[@hkgaming5252]

And I loved your basic dentistry video ❤️. It helped a lot

[@amberskyesobers7288]

Huuuh. Yeah. And it doesn't help that my dentist coddles his patients a lot. A lot. Through me of course especially.

[@feliciabrown9643]

I love your channel ..I have been a dental assistant for 6 months and love it and your videos are very helpful and funny

[@hkgaming5252]

Hey I’m 17 and really looking forward to becoming a dentist, I really don’t know a lot about dentistry but I really want to get a head start DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY TEXT BOOKS that I can start reading to get info

[@hkgaming5252]

Also what classes did you take in college because I read that you should take science classes like biology, chemistry, etc. is it’s really necessary??!? Thanks

[@KW-qt6df]

Funny stuff!!! You are bubble and happy love your video's!!!!

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

I'm going for a check up next week, my dentist and her assistant are going to be very happy with me after watching this video! 😂 I never swallow (giggitty) when I'm getting a scale and polish done but only because I don't want to swallow the plaque. That's ok right? Lol

[@l0ngwaayt0happy]

Oh no i'm guilty of having a monster tongue lmao.

[@CheyenneBuckalew]

😂😂

[@claudiagill4347]

Oh my wow ! I know what you mean!! I feel I always have to wrestle tongues!! Hahaha

[@rebeccashomespun604]

once i had to bring my 5 year old with me. No baby sitter. He sat in the corner chair very quietly, watching and waiting. It turned out good for him. He was not afraid of the dentist after that.

[@kaitlynb1280]

I’m an assistant and why are these all 1000000% true😂😂😂👍🏼

[@najmashams9276]

I have a question, did you study Microsofts at the dental assistant course as well?

[@DianaGarcia-yz9ls]

I have a very rude Dr and when the patients are not cooperating makes it so much harder and then the Dr gets frustrated with me. 😦🙁what’s your suggestion?

[@lizl8260]

Diana Garcia leave. Drs need to learn to appreciate us.

[@DianaGarcia-yz9ls]

Liz Lopez I been there barely 3 months and trying to get knowledge but believe me I do want to leave. 😏

[@sashajames6835]

Story of my life lol 😂

[@TheMLR1988]

Ok...But some of these are a bit unkind.Many people have phobias about dentists and dental procedures. For many people it really helps to talk them through the procedure- either explaining and showing them everything before hand,ie this is what we'll use to clean out the bacteria, then we will rinse and dry with this,then we will use this etching and bonding to help retention, then use a light cure etc..it helps the anxiety alot! Or- My daughter had a filling and asked the dentist what every single thing was and I chose a very patient dentist that explained everything while doing it- it really helped her understand and cooperate😊. I work in an office that specialises in dentaphobes and we have to be extra patient. I too get a bit anxious when everyone leaves me after being injected... Btw- I have a hard time with barfing and we had a barfer once😣 it was bad

[@mchobbit2951]

Thank you. As someone with a phobia, videos like this often make me more hesitant to seek care when I need it because I fear that I'll just annoy everybody and come across as just needy and annoying and high-maintenance. I already feel like the worst patient and like the dentist will just kick me out and say that I'm not treatable anyway. A lot of these things people just CAN'T HELP. I don't think that anyone WANTS to gag or struggle with their own tongue through the procedure. We all just want to get it over with as quickly and easily as possible as well! I needed three mandibular block injections before one took. If I had been left alone in the room with all of the equipment every time, I would have probably walked out. Every second that I am left alone with everything about to be used on me on display, my anxiety just goes up and up. I wish it wasn't so and that I didn't have to ask to go the waiting room or outside and have them tell me when to come back. Most people really don't want to be annoying.

[@laceypollan5912]

Yes 🙌

[@skywonder3173]

Leave poor Karen alone 😂

[@HaileysHealth]

lol I don't think youre an a-hole. I actually think you could probably set more boundaries with your patients. I would have told that woman, "Sorry, I have a whole list of things to do, but here's a magazine for some entertainment. Dentist will be here soon!"

[@mchobbit2951]

I get that you guys have a lot of things to do, but that patient was probably TERRIFIED. The worst part of the dentist's appointment for me is hands down being left alone while waiting with all of the scary instruments about to be used on me lined up in front of me. It just makes me worry about what is going to happen to me next. I know Cheyenne said that the patient was not nervous, but you cannot always tell. I'm not saying stay with her, but I don't think you understand how hard it is for some people, so just have some compassion instead of labelling people as Karens. You are not a hairdresser or a nail tech, some people are genuinely afraid of dentistry.

[@thisismyprivateaccount6546]

@@mchobbit2951 let me just say as a hairdresser, people even get extremely nervous in the chair. 😂 usually because of a previous bad experience with another hairdresser, but they can and sometimes do.

[@mchobbit2951]

@@thisismyprivateaccount6546 Oh wow. I guess the upside here is that you can just avoid the hairdresser forever and grow really long hair or shave your own head or something. Most of us aren't that lucky with the dentist. Videos like this really aren't encouraging when you have a phobia. People really can't help things like strong gag reflexes. It just makes you more reluctant to go back because most of us really don't WANT to be annoying.

[@thisismyprivateaccount6546]

@@mchobbit2951 So true!!! lol if you feel annoying with a gag reflex at the dentist, you can at least rest assured that the people who work there see it all the time and are used to it

[@princeisreal1636]

get better words

[@abbyacevedo976]

i was assisting today and the kid threw up due to his strong gag reflex. yikes
