I've applied for a dental hygiene program just recently, I've enjoyed flipping through your videos and getting a sneak peek into the life of a dental hygienist :)

[@TeethTalk]

So happy we've connected! Sending positive toothy vibes your way!

[@loganwilliamson7101]

Can u train me lol

[@L.E.A.F.]

I love your channel it’s been helping me a lot with school it’s one of the reasons why I pass every weekly test and monthly finals.

[@TeethTalk]

OH my gooooooodness thank you SO much for saying this. I appreciate it more than you know. Sending all the positive toothy vibes your way!

[@dianas6516]

I like the way you organized your trays. Everything essential is there. I use metal probe too, the plastic one is for implants usually. Great job! 👍👍👍

[@TeethTalk]

Thank you so much for watching! I love hearing from other dental providers :) Stay well!

[@benjaminbrown5245]

OI can’t wait!!!! This is going to bee very exciting!!!

[@thenatural.hygienist193]

I also add a cotton roll to clean my hand scalers during use. In the UK most practices use a alow handpiece with either polishing cup or brush depending on what the clinician prefers or the level of staining and some prophy paste. I just add a smear of paste to save plastic waste. We don't have special prophy cups like yours but they look cool 👌🏾

[@TeethTalk]

That is so interesting! Thank you for commenting! Sending positive vibes your way!

[@holleejanusitis2790]

I got into Dental for this fall! you make working look so enjoyable, makes me excited for the future :)

[@TeethTalk]

Congrats! So excited for you to join the dental world :) Stay well!

[@richard802]

It’s nice to see your passion to your work! Great videos 😁👌

[@TeethTalk]

thank you so much for watching!

[@ambergarthly183]

It’s interesting to see there is only the “anterior” explorer in your set up. In school we have both anterior and posterior explorer separate instruments

[@vickylachapelle3588]

First time I hear about a clinic using implant probe as the regular probe 😮 Love your videos !!!

[@BeautifullyHigh1]

😫 I started my job yesterday doing all that I think I got the hang of it lol hopefully tomorrow is a better day

[@TeethTalk]

YES! I promise it gets better and smoother! Congrats on your job :)

[@francispetrillo4676]

Did you buy your own prophy handles? Or do you use the one that the office provides? Also are you required to purchase one in dental hygiene school?

[@TeethTalk]

Great question! I am using the ones that my office provides. I know of some hygienists who bring their own because they prefer theirs. However - everyone is different. And yes - I did have to purchase my own in DH school. Hope that helps!

[@elizabethmeier3194]

You’ve gotta try cutting the HVE in half! It has SAVED ME!!!

[@TeethTalk]

YESSS! love doing that now more than ever!!!!

[@leeleeS611]

Your own lead apron!! That’s like awesome!!

[@TeethTalk]

I do love it. I also love knowing that I'm the one who personally disinfected it between patients!

[@paulinecallahan6888]

I LOVE the periowise perio probe 😊💜 especially the one with the green and red markings my favorite😊👍some clients find the SS probe painful . Stay safe . It's a scary time to be in dentistry.

[@TeethTalk]

Totally! I love that we have different probe options!!! Thank you, my friend! Stay well, as well!

[@cheliae8560]

Thank you!

[@stevesmom9868]

I'm an EFDA and envy hygiene set ups. As an EFDA we have so many more instruments and other things to set up and tear down.

[@zomfgwiiii]

Do you usually hand screw on your piezo tip? We have wrenches to make sure we aren't over tightening them. They click the tips in place. I recently temped (like literally right before we shut done due to covid) and they just have one that they wipe down between patients. Usually all our tips at my regular office have wrenches that those tips live in. :)

[@TeethTalk]

Ahhhhhh! I've heard of people wiping down the wrenches ...that is so not good. At my one office we have wrenches that they live in, as well. But at this office - we have wrenches that are bagged separately (they are different looking than the others) and I have them in my little cubby behind me! But yes! They are also sterilized prior to each use. Sending positive vibes your way!

[@ProjectREST]

Are you still working? In Australia no hygiene appointments are going ahead due to COVID-19. The plastic probe is for screening, not doing full perio charts.

[@TeethTalk]

We are currently closed for all elective procedures so I am not working. Dentists are currently seeing emergency patients only. And I totally agree about the plastic probe being used for screenings! I know of many dental providers who prefer it for full perio charts - but not me! Sending positive energy your way!

What are your favorite instruments for hand scaling? Which anterior scaler, posterior scaler, & curette do you have in this video? Do you have the same ones in all of your basic packs?

[@lifeofadentist]

What type of probes do you normally prefer? Like for me its usually a Michigan O with williams markings or a cpitn/who probe

[@benjaminbrown5245]

Oh please do!!! I would love that. I would love to see you do an A.S.M.R. Video of the dental drill and sounds as well if you can do it. That would bee so fantastic!!!

[@TeethTalk]

Already on my to-do list :)

[@geezbee]

Can you make a video talking about instruments

[@batman4479]

Can you please do a video on how to improve hand skills for those planning to become a dental hygienist? Also great video! :D

Is that a metallic UNC-15 probe?

Ok I was wondering about that since I was 4.

[@benjaminbrown5245]

Whitney!!! So I found another dental song on ITunes and downloaded it. I typed in dentist blues and went a little down the list. I found the song called “I’m your dentist baby.” Oh yea and I downloaded it. Some more news for you!!! So yea. Another dental song in my list!!! Hope you make that A.S.M.R. Video from the dental office someday!!! That would bee great.

[@bertiepimplebum5633]

Hey, Chloe Paige: View more Teeth Talk Girl videos. You'll see a Dental Hygienist can make you look fantastic. It's better to wear super-clean teeth than a $5000 dollar dress. Teeth Talk Girl has covered every aspect of dental hygiene. (UK)

[@dance_cj]

Bertie Pimplebum I’ve been here a while watched every video of Whitney’s!

[@TeethTalk]

Thank you for watching my videos!!! I would definitely ask for a cleaning - we recommend routine cleanings 2x/year and some patients need to come in even more frequently than that.

[@TeethTalk]

Hope that helps! Stay well!

[@dance_cj]

Teeth Talk Girl thank you Whitney! I will deffo ask then! The language video will be with you ASAP I’ve been so busy with online classes!! Z

I wanna be a dentist or a doctor

[@benjaminbrown5245]

From a dental patient who loves the drill. Yes. Whitney I am on your toothy team and proud of it. I have something to tell you know that i got from the ITunes Store. I got more drill sounds and songs about dental hygienists also I changed my alarms to bee dental sound effects. I have drills and polisher sounds and flossers. Their is only one thing that I can’t find on the iTunes Store and that is the chair going up and down. I wish they had that sound but i don’t think that they do. I am trying to look for it though.

[@TeethTalk]

Oh wow that's awesome you could find all of that. Next time I'm able to film in the office I'll record that sound for you! Thanks for your comment! Stay well!

[@andrewstokie6726]

Great video 👍

[@benjaminbrown5245]

Railgunner Outlaw Hey I got to tell you that I actually have all these sounds I downloaded from the iTunes Store. All my alarms and bed time alarms are dental drills and polishers. I love the sounds. Makes my alarms interesting. Also when people are listening before bed their nature sounds and mello music for bed, I am listening to drills and songs about the dentist that i downloaded. I am a dental freak. I guess my craze is a lot of people’s fears. Love all that stuff before bed. I even got a song from the ITunes Store and it is call dentist love from the singing dentists. I also have “you got to swirl well.” And floss me.

Every time I watch your videos I realize how wrong my office is lol... I had no idea about the high speed suction

[@TeethTalk]

Aw no worries! Lots of dental providers don't realize the new infection control guidelines because they are always evolving. Just trying to share the current info best I can! Another update: use back flow protectors on the saliva ejector if you're having patients close their lips on it! Hope this helps!

[@sunshineasmr5821]

Teeth Talk Girl you seriously are the best I can't thank you enough for your videos💙 peace love teeth

[@rivengoesafk696]

What’s the best time to see a dentist ?? 🦷🦷🦷

[@TeethTalk]

Routinely! Many patients should visit their dentists 2x/year but some patients need more frequent visits such as 3x/year or 4x/year. Hope this helps!

You need to see a dentist. Your mouth guard may not be fitting properly. You may need a new one. In some cases they even refer to TMJ specialist

[@batman4479]

@@dianas6516 This mouthguard was made by my dentist.

[@dianas6516]

Tokyo Ghoul see your dentist again you may need a TMJ specialist. They make special mouth guards that help better. Also try some TMJ exercises ( a lot of them are available on you tube). They are helpful. Just wanted to help. Hope you feel better

[@benpulliam]

I’m confused why people doesn’t call the saliva injector a suction anymore

[@ladybuglover95]

God_Knight aka_Ben. There is high speed suction and the saliva ejector which is a lower speed suction. I think it helps to differentiate especially since more and more hygienists are (hopefully) learning the importance of using an hve to help control aerosols better
