Dental assisting 101: The basics

[@tinaolmos4878]

I was so discouraged at my on the job training that I thought about quitting. I cried the other day because I felt stupid, like I wasn’t getting it. Your video REALLY helped me (more than my trainer has) and you explain things really well. Thank you. I decided to keep trying :)

[@minab7375]

i am also new as an assistant and yesterday i worked with a substitute dentist for the first time and she was so sweet and she gave me tips and today i worked with the regular dentist who is a perfectionist with demands and did not do anything right in her eyes i have cried because of that and wanted to stop. she doesn't want to assist with me anymore... it also depends on the dentist how understanding they are.

[@stephywesp]

i went through the same thing my trainer didnt help me that much but the other das at my office did good luck on ur journey and dont feel afraid to speak up

Adult Teeth - 1 - 32 Kid Teeth - A - T Surfaces of teeth Labial- front of anterior teeth Lingual- towards tongue Incisal - sharp cutting edge of anterior teeth Bucccal -towards cheek Distal - towards the back of the mouth Mesial - towards the front of the mouth Occlusal- biting surface

[@abbybolls6528]

I learned labial as facial

[@MyTinyUrbanGarden]

How about also PALATINAL ? On upper jaw, is palatinal, not lingual.

[@ms.mongevalenzuela5345]

Your the BEST thanks!!

[@adelanavarrete241]

Ms. Monge Valenzuela Mesial is the surface of the tooth that is closest to the midline of the mouth, which is the vertical line that divides the mouth in half. Distal is the surface of the tooth that is the furthest away from the midline of the mouth. It is hard to explain without visuals, so my advice would be to look at diagrams, this helps a lot when preparing for your boards.

[@anastasiasantiago8385]

Ashley Fortier I started back in mid April with absolutely no experience & am finally starting to feel very confident! It is very very difficult I agree but it definitely gets better. Everyone would tell me when I started that the more I chair side assist, the more I’ll learn which is hard to hear when you are a nervous wreck like me but it’s 100% true. Dental assisting I’ve learned is very repetitive! Hang in there because it gets so much better & you will do great.

I’m currently on externship and in my opinion I find the experience on the field much more understandable than what I was taught in class lol but it makes things so much easier if you just keep in mind that premolars are 4,5,12,13,20,21,28,29 if you know those knowing the teeth numbers makes it so much easier!!

[@ቅ.ሚካኤልጠብቀን]

Tnx I just started I’m counting my tooth so easier

[@shawnadeyo]

Another way to help remember the teeth numbers is they go in a "box" or "square" when you are counting them. like 8 9 24 25 or 1 16 17 32 and so on. That helps me. Your videos about this stuff really helps me. I am on externship and these definitely help break it down and make things easier.

[@saltedtofu5845]

I’m so glad I came across your comment! I am just starting as a Dental Assistant and the tooth numbers always take me a second to think about what it is. Visualizing it as a box as you said is so helpful!

[@valeriemarie7651]

@@yasminvilla8481 it took me a little while to get the hang of it! I was an Emt before. So it was a huge change in pace. I was the only assistant since we are such a small office. It’s a fun job to have even if it’s a stepping stone in your career. I took some time at home to review tooth numbers and tools your doctor needs for procedures. The biggest tip I can give you is when setting up for your procedures take pictures of your table so you remember. That helped me catch on so much faster. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. My dentist is amazing and taught me so much. With having no experience it is so easy to get flustered and frustrated but just remind yourself you’re brand new. Give it 3 months of constant routines- dentistry is repetitive depending on your specialty. But it is a very fun and rewarding job!

If I had known about the benefits to working in dental versus medical I would've avoided hospital settings and went straight to dental.

We count the teeth completely different. We have mouth parted in to four quarts. With the front teeth starting as 1 towards the wisdom teeth that have always the number 8. So according to that for instance it's starts in the first quart with 11, 12, 13,14,15,16,17,18. With the first number resembling the part of the mouth your in. So first quart, and the second number for the tooth. For the baby teeth it's quart 5,6,7 and 8. For instance it would be 51,52,53,54,55. 61,62,63,64,65 and so on

The way I learned it (currently in dental assistant school), I am actually doing the course in French in Canada, and the way they teach us is that when facing the patient, there are four quadrants top right: Q1 top left: Q2 Bottom right: Q3 and bottom left: Q4. The 3rd molar on Q1 starts at 18 until the first tooth (in French its incisive centrale) then on Q2 it starts at 28 to 21. Then on the bottom right 3rd molar so Q3 starts at 38 to 31 and Q4 it starts at 48 to 41. Sounds confusing but it’s interesting how terms change depending where you live.

G O I’m in the same boat. I make pretty ok $ but want career change and can’t imagine starting back at $12 or even $14 per hour 😟

[@Ashley-kh7el]

You make little starting out and it takes awhile to make some something decent per hour. But I like to see it as a career. You can always grow in the field and you’re very unlikely to get laid off. I would suggest dental hygiene if you don’t mind going to school for a little longer.

[@sharisss2608]

There’s also positions in smile direct club that offer pay as high as 18 an hour starting because it’s a new company but it’s more of sales but you have to have a dental background

[@gabriellajuliann]

Hi!!! I have a question, so I want to become a dental assistant and I was wondering if you would recommend me taking classes about dental assisting at a community college?

[@133keekee]

Hey, I’m interested in this field of work. Also, do you plan on staying as a dental assistant or eventually work up the ranks? (E.g dental hygienist, dentist). Thank you!

Hello, Cheyenne. I started my classes in March 27. It is a 12 week course. I have a lot of cram in for that short amount of time and plus I work. I go to school one day out of a week. I am really trying to learn it. It just I am trying to find other apps or videos to help me expand my knowledge on dental assistant.

I was scrolling they comments and saw this, but was it the ADAA program?

[@tangela8133]

Hey, which program was it that you attended

[@makaylalee1436]

@@tangela8133 I attended a 9 week program. It was really short

[@makaylalee1436]

@@christy___mc1078 I have no clue. It just said dental assistant program. It was saying 9 weeks instead of 12 weeks

[@keyahninaylor4974]

How is going so far do like it ?

[@independentsoul3705]

im in my second week of school :) your video is very helpful!

[@SophTsir]

I love your videos! I just registered in a program. The program is only 3 months so I don’t know how much I can intake within that little time. Any advice on that? It’s super short and I feel like I have made a mistake. I am willing to learn as much as possible. I am even studying now & my classes do not start until July! Thank you!
