How do you know what to put on the trays? Do they teach you that or do you learn that in school ? I’m in school now but we haven’t learned that yet I guess
@woahdenia47602 жыл бұрын
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 ☺️

I recently graduated high school, I’m looking forward on become a dental assistant. I have many questions, How was your experience? is the pay worth it? Are you satisfied with the job? These are some questions out of many 😩
@woahdenia47602 жыл бұрын
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.

Does the dental hygienist do most of the work in every appointment? I worked as a ortho assistant and we had to do allll the work except for when Dr would come to use the high speed with the Goldie and bending wires.
@woahdenia47602 жыл бұрын
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.

Is this a good field to get into as a male? how long was schooling? Do you have to deal with sticking patients with an IV or draw blood? Thank you so much!!!
@woahdenia47602 жыл бұрын
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.
