I just recently changed my major to Dental Hygienist. The major I was doing was just not for me and it was too much school.

[@mckaylaadams2985]

If you don’t mind me asking what was your previous major? I was doing nursing but thinking about Dental Hygienist now.

Thank you for the video Kalesha, I loved the way you presented. I just finished the dental hygiene program and I really was scared about being bored of doing everyday the same, but you helped me to see it from another perspective. I got surprised about the average rate there, in NYC working as a dental assistant while in school I was making $29 p/hour and as a graduated hygienist you may start from $45 to $50 per hour. But is always good to get informed about how it works in other parts of the country. 🙏

[@KaleshaMonet]

The cost of living in MS is below average and as a result, so is the pay.

Neither! I was only drug tested during school.

Hi! DH is one of the careers i want to be! I am just trying to think what i really want to do rest of my life! I live in arkansas but there is only two DH schools in my state. I really want to work in Arkansas after graduated. How many dental hygiene schools can i apply? Is there any limit? If i attend a school in texas, i only can take a Texas board exam?? Or i am allowed to take Arkansas board exam even though i go to school in texas???

[@eNeTec]

what degree is better for DH an associates or bachelors?

Depends on what you want to do with your career!

Please help give tips in finding patients during the covid era. I am in my senior year and most of the tips I used before aren't possible anymore with the pandemic in mind. :(

[@KaleshaMonet]

If your school has athletic departments, talk to the coaches & ask if they’ll make it a requirement that their players come see you at the clinic.

[@ambermarie8885]

Did you have to do a case presentation the last year of dental hygiene school?

Yes!

[@khloiewentzell5340]

What should you take in high school for classes, and before you get accepted do you have to pre requirement’s?

[@KaleshaMonet]

You do not get to choose high school classes; college courses are what matters. Use the application from the hygiene school you wish to attend to take the right pre-requisites

[@maitrikoirala7131]

I know that you already said how much you make hourly but approximately how much is your yearly salary?
