I just got hired to be a dental assistant with zero knowledge in the subject! The job required a high school diploma 🤷🏻‍♀️ they taught me everything I need to know in person!

Me too !!

I’ve been looking for videos or anything for people explaining that experience but I can’t find anything lol, I’m applying to a dental assistant position today but I have zero experience as well and I’m so so nervous idk what to expect coming in with no experience

I'm 44. Never been to college. Starting school in January I'm looking forward to becoming a dental assistant.

[@gwen8925]

Yesss! Where I live jobs are booming and it’s easy to find a job. It can be hard on your back.. I’m 26 and it really kills my back but I love my patients and I love what I do. I hope you end up loving it as much as I do

[@alexism.7712]

I Just put in my application today for a dental assistant job that I didn't go to school for. They are willing to teach me on the job training if I get it. I'm also 44 so it's not too late for those who think it is, and a lot of the employees there are in their mid forties as well.

Went to school for medical assistant , recently moved to Florida and got offered a job as a dental assistant by an office that’s training me from scratch I’m absolutely grateful for this experience, I appreciate your videos so much I’m soaking in everything!🙏🏼😭♥️

Can you make a video of how to obtain all the CE and licensure that we need to have every two years! That would be so helpful.

[@jasminerazo2665]

I've been out of the dental field since April 2020 because of covid. I finished school in March and just had my first job as a DA but then got laid off because of covid. Now it's been almost a WHOLE YEAR, being a stay at home mom and having given birth in November (mom of 2 now) and I feel like I forgot completely everything. Few things I remember but I definitely need a refresher because I plan to go back to my old job in March 😅. I definitely plan on binge watching all your DA videos🙏🙏🙏

[@dianarivera3970]

You should download a video with different tray set up for different procedures and explain very well each one, thanks

[@sierrastump6208]

I just got hired as a DA in Georgia with no certifications . The company is helping me get my X-Ray certificate.

[@currlykay]

What company?

[@carlahasley7083]

What makes me sick I went to school to be a dental assistant graduated top in my class Ace my board exam still can't find job I've only had three interviews in a year and every dentist tells me since I have no experience he does not want to hire me because he doesn't want to train me and that sucks

[@Odeyawicca99]

That’s how I felt to for a while but I found a job! I found an amazing dentist who’s willing to train me and help me with my mistakes. Don’t give up, because I sure didn’t.’

[@CheyenneBuckalew]

I’m sorry to hear that! It can be difficult to find an office that’s willing to train you or have an assistant with little experience. Have you tried volunteering at an office? That would give you some experience. Or try applying for other positions within a dental office and work your way up to an assistant. I hope this helps! Best of luck girl. 🦷💕

[@vanessak24]

your school didn't offer you an externship?

[@carlahasley7083]

@@vanessak24 nope she really didn't help us much at all our instructor when we was class she told us who was all really interested and seeking out the dental profession she would help us find a job and she did not help us find anything for anyone in our class I was pretty bummed out

[@bunnicula0]

Try to spin it positively. You may not have experience, but you don't have any bad habits, either. You're a fresh slate eager to learn. Good luck!

[@TheStydento4ka]

Iam lucky, some office took me without any experience, any knowledge, and teach me everything. Just still waiting for radiology license. CoVID19 make everything postponed

Good for you, I hope you enjoy the field.

[@GR-uc1gq]

Did you finish, was it easy to find a job afterwards? I'm trying to help my mother. She cleans houses and needs a career change.

[@gigirucci]

No. I am not a dental assistant. It's a very long story but short of it is I reside in Florida and they had a program during covid through the unemployment office and it was a 3 month classroom program and a 3 month internship in a dental office when you finish you have t to get the doctor to the sign off an internship to become certified, he refused because because he felt I didn't have the skills necessary So I never completed it. My whole career was based off of him signing that document and now I'm back to being a CNA again.

[@oliviaturk5237]

Hello I'm very interested in becoming a dental assistant! My local college offers a certificate in dental assisting. Is that all you need to start or do you need a degree? I just prefer to do less school possible!

[@krismac61]

Hey Cheyenne, I just got a job as a reception/dental assistant and I start schooling in September. My boss advised me to drop schooling and just get hours and cert through her. Is she right?

[@arynnwalls6025]

I’m going to be doing a dental assistant program next year- senior year of high school. Hoping I’ll like it and then get certified at the end of the year🤞🏽

[@emilywalsh6583]

Cheyenne can you please please make a video on how to scan using the iTero? I could use all of the tips and tricks I could get. Thank you so much for everything you’ve taught me. Your channel is such a blessing!

[@WJames-vk2kp]

I tried it. Your job is super challenging, but that was the fun part. What wasn't fun was working for a dentist who belittles his assistants rather than teaches them. "Will train the right individual" but proceeds to have me do tasks with patients without showing me how and leaves the room. Expected me to remember all the steps to a restorative procedure after seeing it done one time on my first day. Got so frustrated with me he ripped a tool from my hand and inadvertently cut me. That was just my first day, and I quit that night. Dude pretty much ruined that entire experience.

[@gwen8925]

I would encourage you to go back if you liked everything else about the job. Finding the right office is hard I won’t lie Dentists can be jerks. My last dentist grabbed me to come closer and would stomp his feet and slam his fists and shout, he was incredibly disrespectful to his staff I actually tried to stick it out there for a little over three months and tried everything I could to improve But You can’t please everyone and sometimes it’s the environment not the job. The dentist I work with now is patient works with me answers any questions I have and.. appreciates me! I enjoy every day I’m in work now and love my coworkers. Don’t let it bring you down it’s a great field if you love the job... also dental hygienists have a lot more freedom from the Dentist if you’re interested in that route

[@alexism.7712]

Omg! That's terrible

[@aspireac6888]

I went to an 8 week course to become a certified dental assistant! Literally 1 Saturday a week, 8am-3pm! Just tricky finding a doctor that will take a chance on you. Some doctors even help you with the payment of the extra certifications.
