Just wanted to say thanks for this! I bought you roadmap course a month ago, and have an hygiene school interview next month!
The dental world is small, don't burn any bridges even if you never plan to work with someone again, be as professional as possible about exiting a job or relationship with a dental person bc once you're in it long enough people all kind of know each other in some way.
aaaaaand im overwhelmed and terrified i just want to make money i understand NOTHING the more i learn the more i stress out
😂
I got got accepted into my schools program for the fall of ‘24. I am sooo nervous! I’ll be done December of ‘25. So there are no summers off. It’s go go go. My first semester is 7 classes. Gahh! Wish me luck please! ❤️

This video is so helpful and so true!
I am surprised it is difficult to find patients since dental insurance is often not included with regular health insurance so a lot of people have trouble paying for dental care.
yesss! totally! it's scheduling! the school appointments are LONGGGG!
GREAT video. Really appreciate your insights. Keep it up!
thank you for watching!
PEACE LOVE TEETH ❤️🦷🪥✨🦷💕🌹❤🌹✨🦷❤️🌹💕💕🦷✨
Wow that’s wild that you have to pay for all the clinical supplies!! Are they not included with the school fees?
right!!! it wasn't included in my school!!!! just another surprise expense!
Nope
Just had a clean and a natural plus teeth whitening with hygienist
I’m convinced they mark your teeth with metal tools leave scratches in teeth! I think he may have filled my front teeth shorter!!!!
My best advice to others is always take before and after photos
I’m rant self conscious now o literally think he shortened the teeth in so fucking mad!!!!!
I wish I knew RDH don't have recerprocity the way nurses do. You have to have a license per state and regional exam like WREB SERTA, NERB to name a few. Most dental offices have no 401K, medical insurance or any real benefits with pay. If the dentist doesn't work, you may not work either. Every license has to be renewed annually or so. Out of pocket cost for CEs per state. Getting bitten, thrown up on and smelling really bad breath all day. I can pick up perio in an elevator when someone exhales. I have 3 state licenses which is $600 every 2 years plus CEs and loops. It adds up quickly!
So are you saying you wouldn't recommend being a RDH or are you just saying some cons ??

Hello there I was just wondering whether is it normal for my front tooth to move very slightly,I can feel it when I place a finger in there and tap with another tooth but can’t feel it move with my tongue or can’t see it in the mirror,Is this normal or should I be worried and contact my dentist?
If you are clenching or grinding this may be why the tooth is moving. It may also be the way your teeth come together when you bite down. You may hit a specific tooth harder then other when biting together. Their are hair like ligaments called Periodontal ligaments that attach your teeth into your jaw bone. Hitting a tooth hard when biting together, biting fingers nails, or clenching can stretch these teeth ligaments out. Bring this subject to your dentist attention. Have it checked. Stretched out Periodontal ligaments can also tighten up, so don't stress to much. It's best brought to your dental professionals attention. It could be gum disease so best to have your dentist check and evaluate.
Can Indian dental hygienist give NBDHE exam ?
Hii mam
Please help me
Ive got some tartar on the inner side of my lower incisors....the dentist said maybe because of my teeth angle/shape..I even got it removed...but it grew back
I do brush twice...should I get it removed again..or let it be...
It's important to remove calculus buid up on your teeth regularly and if it continues to form in the same place make sure you are brushing correctly with an electric toothbrush toothbrush and floss every day x
@@bridgetscotney8837 okayy.. thank you so muchh for the advice 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Taking the prerequisites right now and having second thoughts due to job security... If greedy dentist don't want to pay hygienist anymore, can't they just do the cleanings themselves instead? Having second thoughts because of job security...
there is a shortage in hygienists right now! sooo many offices are hiring! hope this helps!
and also in some states -- hygienists can own their own offices!
Become an SLP unless you want to break your neck and be used as a cash cow for a dentist. 15-years in and total regret. All RDHs I know regret being one. FYI
@@heather5926 speech language therapist? Why do you choose that as an alternative? And yeah I'm actually actively looking for other careers to pursue but I hate nursing
One good thing about being a RDH, you can e work 1 day a month or full time. People really make or break this profession when it comes to burn out. During the "great recession " i was still able to work as a RDH while my husband was unemployed for almost 2 years. The average RDH career is 7 years before physical and emotional burn out happen.
