How to recognize a BAD Dental office| DO YOU HAVE A BAD BOSS? Dental Assisting red flags

[@godivainc4593]

I work for 2 dentist. 1 is super sweet and helpful , she use to be a dental assistant. The 2nd is so mean she’s literally put her hands on me and ask a million questions at once and not listen to any answers I give.

[@whenraindropsfall]

are you still working there

[@Lover.C]

She put her hands on you? Girl, this is why I want out of the dental field. I’m at my 5th office in just one year trying to find the perfect one, they just keep getting worse and worse.

[@lizeth7507]

Also a dr that is a blamer, I worked for a dr that used to blame his DAs for everything for even his mistakes.

[@DentalVibes]

Those are the worst!

[@nataliamiranda6370]

Thank you so much for this video. There’s so much of it going on and on and so many times assistants pretend that there’s nothing happening. We need to stand up for ourselves 💪🏻💪🏻

[@DentalVibes]

Thanks for the love!! Yes, we need more assistants to know they CAN Stand up for themselves and they SHOULD! We do such amazing work and we have to stop working for drs/office that doesn’t appreciate us

[@marlynbrito2336]

Thank you for your advice, I am having issues doing the temporary crowns and I get very frustrated that is not coming out the right way and I get behinds with the next Patients appointments and the dentist get frustrated.

[@DentalVibes]

Temps can be challenging. The key to master it is to detect what you’re doing wrong and tweak it. And the rest is just practice practice. Did you watch this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2rQnJ94iNtle9U

I'm a new DA who just graduated and started to work in an office and the doctors have no patience with me and keep asking me during the procedure and confusing me I feel down to the point I started to feel that not my career 😢 sometimes he asked me in front of the patient and embarrassed me. How can I be professional and at the same time not silent?

[@DentalVibes]

So sorry you’re going through this! You should meet with the dr and express your concerns. If they agreed to hire a new DA they knew there would be lots of training. If nothing changes after your meeting then you should look for a new office. Good luck!

[@angelicarcturianmessagesan2830]

Im curious what you’re doing now? Did you stay/go? Im in a similar situation. He hired me to train me from scratch but is annoyed i dont know everything in a week.

[@lindzehernandez8130]

LOL I’ve had stuff thrown at me but it wasn’t from a doctor it was actually from an assistant.. 😅😅 I really never told anyone about it.. She already made my life miserable along with her clique. I’m glad I came across this video now so for the next office I work in I look out for some red flags.

[@DentalVibes]

Oh no!! It sucks to have issues with your team. Yes move on and make sure your new office will be better! 😁😁

[@lindzehernandez8130]

@@DentalVibes it does! 😕 but u live and learn! This office just wasn’t for me! But hopefully the next one will!😁👍🏽

[@keilahtx]

Great video, ladies! This is informative and on point 👍

[@DentalVibes]

Keilah Quiros thank you for the feedback 🙂❤️

[@williambrown210]

Gabriella Simoes Long story short I thought it was a great interview and I was ready to come in and meet the doctor and everything like that and then the office manager asked me if I had any questions which I said I pretty much have one question how does the Dennis treat their assistant because I’m very big on respect and I don’t put up with disrespectful people I let them know and I don’t wanna be wasting anybody’s time and she says no that’s a great question he’s kind of like this blah blah blah but I will let you know about the job when just five minutes earlier she was super excited to have me come in and start working

[@602moemoe]

My internship manager is so rude she told me from the beginning I don't care about your hours this is career that really hurt me

[@DentalVibes]

That’s rude! But, externship is different than if you’re an employee. Unfortunately, they don’t owe you anything. You’re not an employee. They are doing you a favor for letting you be there. If you still need a lot of hours left try finding another office to complete it. A good office will make you feel welcomed and make sure you learn what you need to learn. Good luck!

[@602moemoe]

Thank you ❤️

[@flowd7451]

Oh wow this is perfect timing 🤣

[@EstefanyV-w4w]

I keep being told to not work for female dentists because they can be catty. That came from 2 RDA's with over 10 year experience. I have a working interview in 2 days and that office is all female dentists. What would u suggest?

[@DentalVibes]

Doesn’t hurt to check it out. Just pay attention and ask questions on the working interview so you get an idea of how the vibe is

[@gabrielahilgart3649]

Yess completely understand!

[@amandakaigler3426]

You can always be a temp assistant if you don't like your job

[@amandakaigler3426]

@lisbet ojeda sosa Well you are your own boss its independent contractor work, you get on with a temp assistant agency and they contract you out to dental offices that need help for the day or multiple days. And most of the time you get paid end of day depending on how a temp agency is set up. Some places the temp agency pays you and will take out taxes for you and some agencies the dr. Pays end of day and you take out your own estimated taxes depending on your state. I am full time temp assistant it offers me flexibility in which days I choose to work, but I typically base it off of the demand of the temp agency I know most offices that are private practice will usually only be opened mon through Thursday so thats what o usually work. I hope this helps. Good luck 👍

[@amandakaigler3426]

@lisbet ojeda sosa No obligation to a particular practice no responsibility for maintaining the equipment like the autoclave for example. And flexibility in scheduling what days you work and don't work.

[@tamarajefferson2530]

Great video.

[@armeniansdoitbetter]

Avoid DSO's, all of them. I have been doing this 15 years. After 12 years in a great practice the dentist sold and retired, the field is nothing like the older gen had. Overbooked schedules, no lunches, no benifits, no paird holiday, staying late. The pay is not worth the stress and disrespect. Find another field, do yourself that favour and respect yourself.

[@DianeSanchez-sx6oi]

Omg....yes I can relate
