I'm so glad! Let me know if there are any videos you want to see :)

Wow this video came out at the right time. Today's the first day of my dental assisting program. The program I'm in is just 12 weeks. Classes are once a week.

Hi I just started and I’m just like you first week feeling so lost! What was your best technique to remembering the teeth numbers without having to count to know what tooth lol

[@Rahfrench]

For me it was remembering which type of tooth goes with what number, for example all the canine tooth numbers and all of the premolar numbers, etc. I know this comment was from a year ago so i'm sure you got it down lol

I’m wanteng to start dental assisting school. I’m currently in the medical field and have been for 20 years but need a change.

[@dentalelle]

I start this week and I’m not fresh out of high school and my the school is for 10 weeks😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ but this video is great though. Thanks

Same ! You can do it! Best wishes to you!

I know this video is a couple years old, but I wanted to know what are your thoughts on 10-12 week dental assistant programs? I understand your program was much longer, but how do you think what you learned throughout your months long program would translate to a condensed 10-12 week program? What type of program would you believe is more beneficial and efficient for dental assistant student, a 9-24 month program or a shorter 10-12 week program? I could only imagine I would have to solely focus on school and constantly keep my head in my textbooks even more with the shorter program. I would really appreciate your feedback and I enjoy your videos, they've help me get a better idea with dental assisting and the path to it.

[@dentalelle]

Hmmm that program is very short! Im not sure you can get a dental assistant job after can you? Is it accredited program?

[@beatriceokyere5256]

@@dentalelle I was worried about that. The 10 week school programs are approved and regulated by my state's Workforce Commission, which is an official government commission. There is also a state board of dental examiners for my state, but I did not find the 10 week program schools listed as board approved for certain courses such as X-ray certification or nitrous oxide monitoring courses.

Ok I have a question so I only have my high school diploma im 21 so can I just go into dental assinting school right away? Or do I need to go to my 4 years of college then go to dental school? Or do I just take assinting program in college to be an assistant?

[@mellnajih4544]

[@dentalelle]

Mell NajiH it depends on where you live, every location has different rules :) you can contact the dental assisting association in your area and they can help!
