Started my externship in January 25, 2021 and got hired February 18, 2021. In May 2021 I was offered a Lead Dental Position because of how motivated I was to learn and to grow in the field. The Dentist I work for knows I graduated through online school with no experience besides reading textbooks and she was still willing train me. As my first experience as a dental assistant in a pediatric dental office, I am thankful for a boss who was and still is patient with me.
I'm so happy for you! Right now I'm going thru the exact same thing were I chose an online school to be able to work. And I saw this video about everything I already needed to know and started freaking out lol. But I'm happy I found your comment, hopefully I get enough knowledge before my externship, and a Dentist with enough patience
Lol going through this exact same experience down to every detail, just in current time lol!! You go girl
I’m sure us assistants in training know that we “HAVE” to learn know and learn certain things but keep in mind that not everyone has the best instructors so our knowledge would be based on what we practice and learn in the office.
I started mine yesterday which thank for my office is closed today cause girlll I need a break. I feel overwhelmed especially how things went and now I just can’t stop being sad I feel like I’m not smart enough to to go on with this anymore my little brain can’t take it.
The beginning is tough for everyone even for Dentists! You hang in there 🦷
@@DentalVibes I’m trying😩 I watched your whole video and it was seriously good and had some helpful advice for me confidence is an issue and comparing myself to other assistants. I know it’s important not to take criticism so personally I need to accept and just learn but it’s hard. I hope tomorrow in my office is better than the first day. Even though I’m not in school anymore I still feel like I need to study especially for that DANB exam. It just suck how everyone got cool extern sites getting to do hands on as for me I got to do some things and sanitize which to my supervisor wasn’t good. Idk y’all but I hope I do better😩
@@phylphyl955 you just started lol you still have lots of mistakes to make and lots to learn. Dentistry is a rollercoaster 😅 you will get it though!
@@DentalVibes thanks I appreciate it😭💗 I hope to be good!!
How are you doing now ?
I literally start on Monday LOLL
Good luck! Make sure to watch this video too
czcams.com/video/4pquR0VWDyg/video.html
I start on Monday too!
I've been watching your videos for about 3 weeks now and they've helped me so much while I was still in school. I passed my exam yesterday and found an externship site the same day. I start it tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous but also really excited. I love watching your videos!!
Thank you!! Good luck starting your new journey
I’ve started extern and we got extremely limited practice for all these procedures except for x rays. Let me tell you, x rays for me are the hardest. I almost feel like I’m more of a burden at my office because how out of practice I am, but these videos really help reinforce the idea of practice. They also tell me at my office practice makes perfect, so I know I just have to keep giving it my all
Practice will help! 🙏🏼❤️
I’m so thankful for your videos. I start my externship tomorrow morning🙌🏾
I just started as an extern but I’m skipping the DA program and I’m going to just get my hours for the DH program and it is so hard without the knowledge you learn in a DA program but you guys really help me out!
Thank you so much ladies for this video! I am beginning my externship this upcoming Tuesday morning and this video was super helpful!
Thank y’all so much!🙌🏽💛
I start externship tomorrow and have been watching a lot of your videos its been soooo mind refreshing as well as building up my confidence to jump right in and help!!!
Good luck on your externship! 😊😊
Oh how I wish I saw this video two months ago when I first went into my externship. Great information ladies , I’ve shared it with all my colleagues .
Thank you!! :)
So proud to see one of our graduates ROCKING Dental Assisting!!
Thank you Mrs Murphy! 🥰 -Carla
I start my externship tomorrow and i'm super nervous I have some experience with xrays and polishing and feel confident with doing them but i didn't spend much time practicing charting at my school and i feel like i will struggle with that the most. I hope that the staff there are super nice and patient with me.
Make sure to review teeth numbering, that you must know. As soon as you find out which software the offices uses find some videos on CZcams. Most companies have their own training videos posted on CZcams. Charting can be tricky and the dental team may not have enough time to teach all about their software and charting, you may have to put in your own work.
@@DentalVibes thankyou ✨ i didn’t think you’d reply ☺️
First of all, thanks for that I found this channel that will surely help me to improve in my ojt. Second, I want to keep motivated through these, and that I could learn and progress myself in this field. Hopefully, in the future I can make it well. Starting my externship tomorrow ^^
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experiences I greatly appreciate it 😁🦷
You’re welcome!
That was so encouraging and helpful I still have a ways to go for mine. But I wrote down the 5 things on my bathroom mirror to remind me daily to work on my A game! Good job ladies ! 🦷😁♥️
You’re going to kill it 🦷💞
You guys are so great for this!❤️
🥰🥰
Thank you!! About to go to school to become a dental assistant!!! Can’t wait!!

🦷🦷🦷
What qualifications do you need or did you go to college or apply online
Love this!
OMG thank youuuu. this might be very helpful for me since ill be starting my externship in a couple of days here. I'll for sure keep coming back to your channel to refresh my memory of somethingsss. THANKS again (:
A little update, I GOT HIRED YAAAAAAY 😭❤️❤️❤️
@@wendylopez8163 omg congrats! Goals!!! I'm just starting my dental assisting program and I'm so nervous for the externshipppp ahhhhhh
This is so usefull 🙌
I start Monday! You guys are helping for sure!
You are beginner student of dental assistant?
Just started as a steritech. Learning all the things in a very busy periodontal office. Hoping to move up quickly. Thanks for your videos!
How’s it going? 😁
Omg I needed this!! But I already finished my externship I wish I knew this 😭😭
I really need to see the steps of dentures. From taking impressions all the way to denture delivery please
Thank you !! I have my externship pretty soon ! Can you do a video of the basics , and also tips on how to study for the exam and what to expect please 💓
We have multiple videos on basic things. Check out our list of videos. We can’t promise anything on exams 😅 we did ours too long ago. Also every state requires different exams. Good luck!!
Hi I am dental assistant student watched your videos
I'm a dental therapist student thank you so very much 💓
Do either of you speak Spanish? I would love to see a video of dental terminology for Spanish patients. Mine sucks but I try my best 😩
Carla does! We can try to make that happen 🙂
I will be attending DA after I graduate from undergrad, sadly due to covid-19 I had to leave my 2-year internship. Watching your videos help me keep my memory fresh! Gracias!!
De nada! 🥰🥰 When will you graduate undergrad and start the DA program? What is your long term goal?
@@DentalVibes I will graduate in May 2021! hopefully, get into Dental assistant Progam at CCRI in RI. My long term is to have this career forever, I truly fell in love with helping others y my abuela my whole life and the passion for medicine. I am not strong in science and math so the medical field was a no. The dental assistant was the perfect fit just like cinderella's shoe! I love the art, the anatomy. + I have an obsession with skulls.
I start my externship in like 3 months... I only go to school for 2 days a week out of a 9 month program. I know a vast amount of information but im doubtful on many things. But I am ready and am willing to learn . My teachers offered me tutoring time and its no joke when they say practice on dexter cause your xrays, your charting and your setups have to be at its peak!
hiii :) Thank you for the tips and notes! But also, the echo or acoustics is just unreal haha, it was distracting for me at least, I hope you guys will get like a Mic with a noise reduction feature so it can boost clarity when listening. All the best! :)
nice advice
I start mine tomorrow!!!
Where was this video like two months ago? 😭 great advice girls!!
Awww better late than never right? Lol can you share your experience at your externship please 🙂
Mine is coming up on May I’m kinda nervous
Also can you do videos of how to take X-ray and X-ray set up for bitewings please thank you so much your videos are so helpful ❤️🙏🏻
Did you watch this one? czcams.com/video/ANk1fIxJq1Y/video.html
I’m Dentist but in New Zealand I must to be dental assistant. Tanks guys for those videos
I start in like 2 months thanks for info
Good luck!
Grate tips
I had such a bad experience with my externship😭 They sent me to the front and I was scared to ask questions because the office manager would say “do you not know how to answer a phone either?” “Do you know how to write an email or do u need an explanation??” It was just so toxic. I had to get out of there. And she’d say these things INFRONT OF PATIENTS. Like “sorry shes fresh out of school and she’s young”.
I cried in the break room and the hygienist walked in on me and gave me a hug and a pep talk. I was so embarrassed 😭
It never fails that there are unwelcoming and rude offices. Just let this be a learning experience for you that there may be times you’ll need to stand up for yourself. Also, never ever ever cry again in the office! We understand you were feeling overwhelmed, we’ve been there! But don’t give that kind of power to undeserving ppl. Hopefully you’ll find a better office 🙏🏼❤️
@@DentalVibes thank you guys! Glad to know that this hasn’t just happened to me. Definitely a huge learning experience.
Omg!!What a b
I am thinking to study about dental assistant
I start my externship this Thursday! Watching this video before I start LOL! Good luck to everyone else with their externship if you’re watching this video. :)
You got this 🦷
I go to dental school and I still struggle which instruments to pass and how to take x-rays and I get nervous when I would take them at school still
Ah girls I love your energy and useful info so much, but the sound is so awful I wanna tear my ears off 😭 I wish you all the best and to get more subscribers!
Hello would you mind doing how to read notes
I'm currently taking a DA program and they have already told us after the first day of FMX's on each other, so basically I've done an FMX on one classmate thus far, that we can hit up offices for externships. After watching this, I am not prepared to start one! I still haven't learned impressions or anything other set up besides a basic/new patient set up. I should just wait right? Cause I don't want to be stuck as sterilzation >
Usually the externship is the last part of your program. After you went over everything you will be certified to do. It’s strange that your program would tell you that 🤷🏻♀️
Hello so i went through dental school and did my internship. When i went out job searching i was not prepared and did not remember my teeth numbers and how to set up instruments along with passing. I got a job as a dental assistant they told me they would train me. During this time my brothers car broke down so i was driving him to work and the dental asistant job i was in was far away from where i lived. My dentisy had told me to memories the teeth numbering of an adults teeth and childs teeth. I went home stayed up late trying to remember the teeth. Even my partner had told me that i kept talking in my teeth. When i went to work i asked the dentist if i could study that day the teeth for i didnt get to study the kids teeth and memories a bit of the teeth. That was the day i myself was fired. I learned that i still needed to study these things but the problem is. My family doesn't have a home and we have been struggling when it comes to life. We live with our cusins and my brother wants to move near his job and schooling. We are still young im 22 hes 21 my sister is 19 and my little brother is 16. Im supposed to help out my brother pay with rent. When i look for dental jobs none of them want to take the time to train me. So i have to quickly get a diffrent job for the time being. I had talked about it with my schools canceling for it has become a bit stressful because of my current situation. That i would work first ro get money to pay for rent with my brother and study when id get home from work and then try to apply for internships, externships. And not let my dental registration get expired. Once i get enough money and we are settled. I will continue to look for externship and internships along with studying while working. For i am not in a good situation at the moment. But im sure god himself will lead me to a good path. Thank you everyone and y’all got this. The only way this could change is if i find a dental job thays willing to teach me while i myself continue to study.
I went to DA school (it was only 6 months) but I feel like it did not prepare me at all for working at my current job at all. I just finished my 4th day and I’ve been mainly working with dentures…. I never learned about those at all. It is a lot of information. Also working with with temporary crowns/crowns. I’m trying to not get overwhelmed, but it’s a lot of information at once and I’m getting a bit confused.
It is a lot of info! 😅 watch our videos on procedure set ups and you can always reach out to us on IG if you have specific questions! 😊😊
I’m taking a dental assistant class online right now, and after I complete the program I will have the opportunity to start my externship in the state of Hawaii. What are some tips you can give me when it comes to interns only completing a online program with no hands on experience?
It will be very tough so get ready
I start externship tomorrow morning
Good luck! 💪🏼
I'm in a dental assisting program but it's all online so i've basically been teaching myself with little to no help! no x-ray machine no nothing i'm super nervous for my externship :/
😔
Update?
I am in the same boat, girl.
Thank you so much for your helpful content.😄👍 You helped me so much. Do you have some advices for a student internship? Can I become a dental assistant with a second vocational training? I finished my 3 year vocational training as a shop assistant. But I noticed that I really want to become a dental assistant.
You’re welcome 🙂 not sure we understand your question. Where are you from?
@@DentalVibes I'm from Germany. How is the way to become a dental assistant in the USA?
In my country we have to visit one day per week the school to get the basics . The other 4 days we work in the office and learn from the dentist or the graduated dental assistants to do the practical work with real patients. After 3 years we have the final exam. If we pass we are graduated dental assistants. Is it the same way in your country?
@@Anna-cq1md oh that’s why we didn’t understand your question. Yea here in the US is completely different. Therefore, we can’t give you much info. We have no idea how it works in Germany. Here you can be trained on the job and then do the exams to be certified or go to a program where you would leave with all the certifications already. The programs can be from 10 weeks to one year including externship hours
@@DentalVibes Oh ok
It's completly different.
We start from zero (after the regular school) in the office and learn everything in 3 years. And you get at first a training and after that you can work in a dental office?
Is this right?
@@Anna-cq1md no you don’t need to work at an office for 3 years here. You can start right away
Are dental nursing jobs easy to get in the US?
I start tomorrow!!! I’m so nervous
Good luck! Just be Open to learn and pay attention. You will do great 🦷
I've started my externship, however, after completing 101 hrs, they terminate the externship. I went to another dentist off and did about 80 hrs, and they also canceled my externship. I need 200 hours. ok. but at the next dentist's office, there is no guarantee of the 200 hours of training. I feel that I am not getting the proper hands-on training to accomplish my 200 hours of free labor of externship. Just like to get a reply with advice. Thank you
What’s the reason your externships have been cancelled? As an intern you’re not really providing “free labor” because you have to be taught and trained, and not all offices can provide that amount of training nor are they bound to do so. Also, your DA program should be preparing you to be successful in your externships. Hopefully our video helped you a bit. Pls send us more specific questions. You can also reach us on Instagram. Let’s get your externship hours done so you can start getting paid! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I just fished my program in Tennessee and our radiology section was only a week and we never touched an X-ray Machine
🤯🤯🤯
I start externship on Monday
Good luck! Watch our set up videos!
Hey girls! Do you all recommended a 10 week program to go to or 2 years of college for dental assistant. I am a slow learner so I’m really not sure which route to go! Thank you I love you guys videos!! 😊
Hello! Please check our latest video it should answer your question 🙂 and thanks for the love 💕🦷
Girl y’all scarred me lol
It is scary! Get ready lol
which schools did you both attend?
I went to Orlando Technical College over 10 years ago -Carla
I start mine Monday I'm afraid
I start in two weeks hands on. No schooling or experience. So also very nervous.
Highly recommend watching our set up videos so that you can get involved hands on, don’t get stuck in sterilization!
First thing we recommend you get down is infection control and sterilization techniques. Then learn about the office’s flow and dynamics with patients. Finally start watching set up videos and find out what requirements you need to know for your State.
I feel like yall are really pushy like all the “you should already have that in your brain” most dental assistants programs are short af and rushed af my program is 12 weeks im on week 8 and i still don’t know wtf im doing theyre so much you have to remember all the different instruments and all the different things you need for tray setups is ridiculously crazy like its a lot this definitely isn’t a program that should be rushed but it is
Omg ! Thank you! I’m about to start my externship I’m so nervous about it I’m sure this is going to help me so much 🫶🏻🙌
anyone wanna make a group chat for dental assisting to help each other out
