I think I chose this major is because I love how you work with yourself. Besides the dentist, you’re kind of your own boss. You work you schedule without people having to tell you what to do. It’s a very independent position and I love it. This video was cool

[@TeethTalk]

Yes! Loved this comment! Totally great things to mention! Thanks for watching :)

[@lynsan1507]

I have worked with Dental hygienists that dictate their schedule and choose how long to schedule appointments, have the freedom to order whatever supplies they need or prefer (pink gloves, different mask colors, etc). But, I have also worked with Dental Hygienists that are treated like dental assistants, which isn't bad but they are pulled to help assist the Dr. etc.

Tatiana Giraldo Hey, so when applying to college what major do you choose if you want to be a dental hygienist! I’m in high school ( voc ) and I’m in the dental assisting program but I don’t know what to do as far as college majors.

[@erio7924]

as a student (almost licensed!) with 0 experience, it's really comforting to know that our routines in clinic are basically the same as a practicing hygienist. minus the part where you see a lot more patients in one day. It just makes it less intimidating knowing I am being prepared correctly. Thank you!!

The most expensive thing on the planet is trust. It can take years to buy and simply a question of seconds to lose. . At the point when you fully trust someone, either you get an individual for life or an exercise forever. There’s no in the middle. Trust lies at the center of love; there can be no true love without trust. I feel so happy that the trust on one another continues developing. One of the greatest and toughest intensity of trust is that it is extremely difficult to build, however exceptionally simpler to obliterate. It resembles circulatory strain. It’s silent, vital to great wellbeing, yet whenever abused it is deadly.

I just came across this channel. I'm a dental hygienist in Michigan. I graduated from the local college in 1985. Have been with the same dentist for 34 yrs, he is 90 and going good. He is down to 3 days a week. It's a super old office and many patients are as old as the doctor, he is working on 5th generation patients. I'll probably retire in about a year. When I think how much I'll miss those people I get sentimental. I wish I had modern equipment like you. Very nice office. When I first hired in I was told the first thing you do is punch in, the second thing you di is start the coffee pot. Then continue. Ha ha

Great video, thanks for showing everyone what we go through. It's so funny how people literally have no clue, as an RDH for 11 years now, I still love it very much, but it is definitely A LOT! I only work about 2 days a week nowadays. Anyway, keep making videos, you rock!

[@IrrelevantReviewsAndComments]

Can you elaborate on how it's "a lot"? I'm considering leaving nursing & going back to school to be a dental hygienist but am hesistant..

[@ebonyrdh6772]

@@IrrelevantReviewsAndComments hi there. Sure, I can elaborate, but first, I'm so happy you're considering it. A good friend of mine was an RDH for idk, maybe 18 or 19 years and she went back to school to become an RN and she enjoys being able to do both, but her primary is nursing at the hospital. Anyway, Hygiene put me in a place where some already slightly damaged cervical and lumbar areas of the spine from when I was in the Army, became more damaged. Pain is no fun, and it can put a major damper on work and everything surrounding it. Posture is everything as a RDH so my back was making life hard. In my case, I've always had large breasts and my shoulders just moved more and more forward to accomodate the weight of those over the years, creating a major problem. Also, I'm left handed and dental hygiene caters to the majority, which is not me. Some other cons are time, sometimes you feel rushed to see all of your patients; therefore you find yourself trying to accommodate the patient and save time by losing the most ergonomic position and just working in the position that will save the most time. The redundancy of the daily routine also gets a lot of hygienists. Listen, although I have introduced you to some of the cons, there are many, many pros out there so maybe go in and shadow a hygienist and see how you like it. The field would love to have you 😉

[@BL-uf8vb]

I cant believe you do so much for a hygienist! But it definitely is great to get a hygienist that has been an assistant before because some hygienists don't help out whatsoever. But you are great at what you do!

lrg Yeah no worries! Honestly, there’s a lot of potential reasons. I might stick with nursing as I just want to consider other possibilities. I went into the program with one of my best friends and she has since left the program; I also had some bad experience in the hospital and overall I just haven’t had time/don’t enjoy what I’m doing with my time while in the program. I have so much respect for the field and I know it’s in demand, but I guess I went into it blindly and while I want to help people and care for them, I don’t want to do it at the cost of my own well-being. Perhaps I will enjoy it eventually and feel happy as I know there’s so many different parts of nursing. Although, all things considered, I have always been a person who’s terrible with knowing what they want in life and despite it being my first year at uni I feel like this is my first time truly exploring possibilities for my future.

[@sfort515]

@@TeethTalk omg so young, I am 31 currently doing my prerequisites for DH school. I went to DA school but never worked as a DA just got my license in Radiology but never used it. I feel so old starting the process.

[@keydylady]

S Fort Same here girl! I’ll be 31 this month and still taking my prerequisites. Nothing to be ashamed of. It is never too late to follow our dreams 😊 (at least that’s what I keep telling to myself :P)

[@briannasilva1822]

Do you guys have kids?

[@MysteriousLover39]

i am a kid trying to learn that a dental hygienist does nd this really helps me nd encourages me to become a dental hygienist! ❤

[@TeethTalk]

here's my RDH video checklist if you want to learn even more :) bit.ly/rdh-video-checklist wishing you the best toothy journey!

[@selenareyes4197]

I wish the dental hygienist at my office helped out as much as you did! With there only being 2 dental assistants it can be hard to catch up with sterile. I’d like to bring it to her attention but she always gets so defensive. Anywho, great content!! 💓

[@lizziehall3190]

It amazes me that you have to do all the prep yourself. I have a dental nurse/assistant to do all the set up, assisting and clean down between patients and at the end of the day.

[@TeethTalk]

Aw, yeah! Some offices have a dental hygiene assistant, some don't! Sending positive vibes :)

[@Dallashygienist]

I do it one office and don't in another...don't mind if I have time but I will not work all day without a break. Hour lunch...it is repetitive but all patients are different. HYG 30 yrs. Worked in one office 20 plus yrs. I love having hyg asst. Plus office isn't paying me for doing tasks while I could be seeing an extra patient vs cleaning rooms and setting up. I saw a suction funnel...surprisingly yall still have those in such a modern office. Do have progress note templetes? Peace love and teeth 😊😊

[@jass1904]

Ive always wanted to be a dental hygienist, but i feel like id be too stupid for the classes, fail them, and end up with a huge debt.

[@jass1904]

@em ! lol thank you I needed that

[@gummybear41283]

I just got my teeth clean it feels sooo good to see and feel that tartar come off

[@pinkorangesoda]

That office looks nice. I hope I get to work in an office like that once I finish my class and take the exam

Idk why watching a day in the life of [insert healthcare worker title here] makes me feel so cozy for some reason. You guys seem like you enjoy your work.

That ultrasonic cleaner looks a lot like another machine that does the same thing for metal parts like gun parts . Supose to put in some cleaning chemical and water and vibrations clean it off .

[@aimeejay3966]

Thanks for a great video, I’m a dental nurse in the UK 🇬🇧 & hygienists in this country always have a nurse to do the cleaning/surgery setting up/instruments so it’s strange to see you do it all yourself but go you! 🙌🏻😃 ☺️ It’s mainly due to chaperoning as it used to be like that in the old days...no nurse in surgery x

[@TeethTalk]

That is so interesting! Greeting to the UK! Thank you for commenting :) Positive vibes!

[@donatina1987]

Wow you’re so accurate. Honestly I haven’t seen that level of care and accuracy in my country ever! And it’s Switzerland..l like the phones and keyboards are not covered with something or I don’t think they get wiped.

[@caseyouellette4045]

I loved this video! Are there Dental Assistants at your office? I thought they were the ones who set up the trays and break down the room.

[@TeethTalk]

Thank you so much :) Some offices have specific dental hygiene assistants to help the hygienists - but some offices do not, in which case, the dental assistant is busy assisting the dentist, not the hygienist. It just depends on the office! Hope this helps! Thank you!

[@jamoam4635]

The most expensive thing on the planet is trust. It can take years to buy and simply a question of seconds to lose. . At the point when you fully trust someone, either you get an individual for life or an exercise forever. There’s no in the middle. Trust lies at the center of love; there can be no true love without trust. I feel so happy that the trust on one another continues developing. One of the greatest and toughest intensity of trust is that it is extremely difficult to build, however exceptionally simpler to obliterate. It resembles circulatory strain. It’s silent, vital to great wellbeing, yet whenever abused it is deadly.

[@mariar3201]

Are you guys not required to purge after each patient or was this just for video purposes? It’s interesting to see the differences in how we all do things depending on where you’re practicing. I’m in Ontario, Canada and you technically can’t even open and flush your chair without wearing full ppe. And we’re technically not allowed to prep a tray the night before for the next day and especially not leave it on the delivery tray. And we definitely can’t unwrap/open any instrument/handpiece/motor cassettes or pouches prior to the patient being seated. All instruments and pouches had to be labelled and numbered before they go in the autoclave in case we had to do contact tracing. And all this was pre-covid! Do you guys have to do quality assurance portfolios? I love watching your videos!

[@AngeliaMeow]

ive always wished i could do this. i just dont know how or where to get started. i quit college 3 years ago because of depression/my major at the time stressed me too much. so now i just feel lost lol
