Your such a good hygienist!! I aspire to be that way when I become one!!

[@TeethTalk]

Nicest comment ever. Truly just made my day. I love that us dental people continue to raise each other up! Sending you SO much positive energy & wishing you the best on your dental hygiene journey!

[@meggie93meow]

Ahhhhhh cant wait to be done with hygiene school so I can have my OWN op and organize it!

[@TeethTalk]

Yessss! So excited for you! Sending toothy vibes!

[@emilyk6054]

This was one of my favorite videos.. maybe because you’re as organized as me. Thank you!!

[@TeethTalk]

YAY! It's the hygiene way ;)

[@ashleyzielke3072]

So organized! I am the only hygienist at my office, and I have to jump between 4 operatories (I go to whichever room is open). Luckily I'll be starting a new job soon, and I am SO excited to be working out of 1 op like this!

[@TeethTalk]

Yessss! You will love having your own space!!!

[@rajeshsindhu3843]

Hii super you are very hard working girl

[@LittleB1RDY]

ive never gotten free things from my dentist and i really wish they'd recommend stuff. should I ask for recommendations??

[@dianas6516]

Nice and well organized 👍👍👍

[@TeethTalk]

THANK YOU! I love love love organization!

[@robertisham5279]

@@TeethTalk What office you work for?

[@jpl4136]

I use Crest Gum Detoxify and it is by far my absolute favorite toothpaste. It makes my gums look and feel so clean.

[@thatkayleegirl50]

I love the prophy pastes in the cups! It makes me want to reorganize my op!

[@TeethTalk]

:) :) :) :) I love organizing!

[@jessicahenderson6732]

The goodie bags in the floss box!! Genius!!!

[@TeethTalk]

YES! I saw someone do it once and I was like...YES!

[@martahoel6659]

I love that your co-worker’s name is Marta, she must be exceptionally awesome!

[@ianshelton6662]

This just looks like a hygiene operatory. In my operatory, there are cabinets and drawers behind the dental chair, where I keep my vitals machine and monitoring leads, IV bags, IV tubing, catheter start kits, airway supplies, drugs, ventilator circuits, and the ventilator and IV pumps themselves are always plugged in.

[@alexbaj4595]

Patient mirror is my go-to, I bought a little 3M sticky hook so that I can hang it up in the room where it’s most convenient and I don’t have to worry about going into drawers w dirty gloves.

[@TeethTalk]

great idea!!!!!

[@lexichanel1]

I’m so jealous watching this because I used to have such a nice and convenient set up in my room until a couple years ago, but none of this would pass if public health were to audit here in Canada

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

I’m curious why this wouldn’t pass, what would they take issue with?

[@lexichanel1]

@@Redh3adElizabeth Basically the only thing we can have stored in our ops are disposables (gloves, headrest covers, masks, prophy cups, etc.), and those things have to be kept in a sealed bin inside the drawers/cupboards, so if we were to open a cupboard the aerosols wouldn’t contaminate everything. We can’t keep things like probes or X-ray holders in there (and those holders would have to be individually wrapped and sterilized)

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

@@lexichanel1 ohh interesting, that makes sense. Good to be extra cautious and meticulous (not so convenient for you though, sorry:( )

[@qazzaq1005]

We need an updated Drawer Setup video!!

[@TeethTalk]

yesssss! I gotta get on that :) :) :) because it's definitely updated!!!!! hopefully soon!

[@MsImpala2011]

When do you think you will do a video on the different types of bibs and why the UK uses reusable bibs?

[@newbtube411]

so.... when you assemble your room trays- are you having to go through 50 drawers to get all the pieces you need? or is there a spot where you have all pieces in a small area for a variety of tray types?

[@cheliae8560]

Thank you for your friendly presentations!

[@carllisamclawrence9947]

Whitney! Wonderful video! 🙂👏

[@TeethTalk]

thank you for watching!

[@bora4861]

Omg. I am the exact same! 🙉 i love everything being in drawers and out of sight! Otherwise too messy looking!

[@TeethTalk]

couldn't agree more!

[@francispetrillo4676]

Did you buy your own prophy handle or do you use one that the office provides?

[@TeethTalk]

I use the ones that my offices provide - because I happen to like them - but I know some hygienists bring their own. Totally depends on your preference!

[@jennisanchez2583]

Question is it ok to store sterile pouches(instruments) with disposable items?

[@lilianalife5368]

Where do you get the toothbrush tips for kids

[@Emzs14]

Every office is different, but do you have like your own room to take your patients , or does the dental assistant calls you and you go to the room

[@monica-1214]

How much time do you get for your adult prophy recalls

[@TeethTalk]

Usually between 50-60 minutes pending if they need X-rays.

[@philthecanman447]

I would take home toothbrushes all the time!

[@TeethTalk]

lol no! if they were free goodies from companies I could see that - but my boss actually pays for all those goodies for the patients! lol!

[@bora4861]

Where do you get your scrubs? Are they figs?

[@TeethTalk]

they are called white cross scrubs :)

[@morganlovesbeauty01]

This was amazing!

[@TeethTalk]

thank you SO much for watching :)

[@markcollins6578]

nice and smart but a problem - 1 bin and through the worktop. There should always be 2 bins - 1 for normal waste and 1 for clinical as the clinical waste has to be disposed of by a licensed disposer. If placing something into the bin through the worktop it could hit the rim or side and spread along the worktop hence the bin should be isolated - wipe down is not always 100% effective. Also not seen any certificates yet - maybe different where she is but in England the dentists like to remind their patients of their qualifications

[@TeethTalk]

we have two bins :) we have to open the cabinet to get to the hazardous waste. also - I removed our licenses from the walls for this video so viewers won't see our personal information. hope this helps! stay well :)

[@Sheissogolden]

I love all your videos truly ❤️could you make a video on the different types of prophy paste?

[@rajeshsindhu3843]

Hiii super nice and well organized

[@TeethTalk]

Thank you for watching!!! :)

[@annaliazou]

very useful video especially for us who want to become dentists❤️

[@TeethTalk]

so happy to hear that! sending positive vibes your way!

[@ayodele6766]

hi teeth talk girl pls im going to get amalgam fillings some small others large but i need to gt them cause im in pain but i get really nervous added to the fact i get vertigo pls do you have any coping techniques i can use during to the procedure

[@alexism.7712]

I thought I saw handcuffs in the first drawer. 😳😂😏

[@9melissal]

What is gum detox toothpaste? What is that for?

[@TeethTalk]

it seems to be extra foamy and the idea is that it can get inside the pockets of your gums better (if you have pockets). hope this helps!

[@jastejpabla3639]

Do some dentists do tongue cleaning when you go to the dentist?

[@TeethTalk]

I personally do not clean patient's tongues unless there is noticeable debris on it. I will, however, go over proper home care techniques for cleaning the tongue. Also - we will always do an oral cancer screening on the tongue. Hope this helps!

[@jastejpabla3639]

Teeth Talk Girl ohh ok, i was just wondering if there is visible debris is there like a special tongue cleaner at the dentists or something,

[@jessicameyer4003]

Help! I love your channel and I recently started mine. I want it to be dental hygiene focused! How did you start/get so many subscribers?!

[@TeethTalk]

So exciting! Sending positive toothy vibes your way! Here is my video about how I started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5esk2mgmNaeZ6M Hope this helps!!! Wishing you the best!!! :)

[@drdr3752]

[@hel_gaming6047]

I need to find a different dentist office

[@HummingBird5713]

Goodie bags...all i got at dental clinic is the bill xD

[@jessicaadams6190]

Your latex and nitrile gloves on the wall should be the other way around to prevent the nitrile ones from becoming contaminated with latex particles.

[@TeethTalk]

good call :) ever since covid - we keep them inside separate drawers now :)

[@lucky4u359]

This is not fair.... Angry with you... How can anyone adjust clinic in such a great way.. Hats off

[@sunshineasmr5821]

My office only uses level 1 for everything...

Now, I dying to go to work.... but I can’t...😢😷🦠

[@ibrahimkesetovic7869]

I don't know why I'm watching this but it's funny... I'm not in the field of Medicine at all but I'm way to obsessed with clean teeth, I hate cavity, gum diseases or bad breath at all, thank God I have amazing dentist who takes care of everything or give me some tips & tricks that he has in the pocket 😉 Every single day 2/day 3 min brushing, 2/day mouth rinsing w mouthwash Anticavity & Antiseptic than after a long day of eat food, drinking all of those juices I do floss 1/day at night... never asked my dentist if this is a 100% correct that I do to keep my teeth clean... #TeethTalkGirl You have a question from Electrical Engineer am I missing something or is it right/wrong way??? Also my dentist told me that I have a perfect hygiene of my teeth 😉😁

[@richardray6833]

I need help, it hurts very bad and I can't eat because of it

[@mariamarvasi8670]

what is the proper way to clean your tongue

[@TeethTalk]

Great question! I have an updated "bad breath prevention" video coming up soon - where I talk about how using a tongue scraper is usually the best option (such as "Orabrush") but if you do not have a tongue scraper - a toothbrush is better than nothing! Hope this helps!

[@PuffleFuzz]

I want bubblegum toothpaste.
