Thank you soooo much for always giving out tips and words of encouragement to dental hygiene students! I remember when I made the choice to do DH after I watched your videos last year and now I'm very proud to say that I'm about to begin my 2nd AND LAST year ! lol, Dental Hygiene has been one helllll of a ride but I kept pushing and believing in myself. Your videos made me believe that I could do it and look at me now... doing the damn thing ! I will always take any chance I get to say thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You don't know how much your words of advice and encouragement have helped me overcome every obstacle. & after watching this video, I'm ready to take on all the ups and downs of year 2 of dental hygiene school :) I pray that you get blessed in abundance and once again, thank you Tajah.

@@kaoubej2706 theres not a lot of math but you do have to fulfill your prerequisites before you start your actual dental hygiene classes. The DH classes are difficult but if you truly want to succeed, you will. I started the program at 20 years old with no dental experience and now I have one more semester left. I was stressed out 90% of the time but you have to fight for what you want !

Jermaine Higdon dental assistants are really limited in what we can do in the mouth. We can polish, take x-rays, take impressions, make temp crowns. Also we assist the dentist with all procedures. Dental hygienists are allowed to do deep cleanings which require anesthesia, they can give numbing and take x-rays and regular cleanings.
