Then I'm not going if i get forced to work with people I most gross job like dental hygiene it's gross as heck I'm out
@@dariaharruff7025Dental hygiene isn’t a gross job, you wear gloves and a mask it’s not like you’re directly touching the teeth with your fingers?
@@OceanicGFX I hate dental hygiene dumbest job you are trying to force me to do that
It's gross there's no freedom in dental hygiene youre forced to be told what to do by a dentist I'm out
Seeing your videos inspired me to go back to school for dental hygiene! 4 classes away from being able to apply for the program!
really?!!?!?! this makes me so happy!!! wishing you the best toothy journey!
@@TeethTalk I'm not going for dental hygiene it's not worth being treated like dirt by a patients I don't want it
@@TeethTalkthe same here I will start the class on winter
I have to say that your videos have really inspired me to pursue this career . After having studied for a year at the university , and now having to start again from scratch and questioning me for months what to study , I can say I found the perfect one for me .
P.S. I didn’t even know this career existed. Thanks for making such good videos ❤️
HELP please, maybe a video on this would be amazing!!! Good Morning! I found your CZcams while researching tips for Dental Assisting/Hygiene school. I feel like it's a bit ominous, but as a new mom of a two-year-old, I am realizing that where I currently live: Tucson, AZ, is not where my husband or I want to live AND that I want a fulfilling and lucrative career to help my family move and be supported where we move. We are set on going to Virginia but we have a plan to move in about 4 years max. It gives us time to save, pay of debt, and plan.
So my questions are big ones...
What is your recommendation for this situation?
Should I go to school to get my Dental Assisting certificate? Then continue to go to school here to get my Registered Dental Hygiene degree? Lastly and most importantly, will these credentials require me to retest in Virginia? Is it not as bad of a situation as it seems?
Thank you for any insights you may be able to share!
Dental hygienists offer a very skilled valuable service. They literally wallow in spit and blood all day long.. in my state I gave anesthesia. For a long time hygenists were not valued as much and to me very underpaid. Even a medical doctor can not administer anesthesia.. yet a hygenist can offer this skill.. yes .. we are licensed to numb your maxilla or mandible and yes.. hit your plexus of nerves in blocks in your head. Still, after all of the intense work, getting licensed in your state for both hygiene AND anesthesia.. AND Nitrous.. and so on and on .. Dentists want to pay you like $40 hour.. WTF? I mean we treat periodontal disease, we diagnosis and treatment plan for the supporting structures of the mouth.. but YET we still are not recognized in the field for ALL OF THE SKILLS we are required to learn.. and some jobs don't offer any benefits..and it is HARD HARD HARD work.. few do it full time after a FEW years. It's hard on your neck, back shoulders..and hands.. If you are an empath you will feel the tension of your patients and you will feel like you hit a truck at the end of the day. So let's just say.. today.. finally maybe you might be getting paid much better for all of the time, which was 4 years for a BS degree.. Yes, 1 year of prerequisites and 2 years for clinical and add an extra year for a BS. But NOW everything is so very expensive.. so I am not sure.. if hygienists are truly paid what they are trained so much for. A RN will be paid more hourly and also usually have benefits automatically AND, they are highly valued and revered in the community.. A RN also has room to grow and expand.. and they walk and move their bodies and they also can change departments and keep the monotony at bay. If you LOVE picking teeth all day and like feeling that after taxes your just not making that much for how much you know and are skilled for.. I would think TWICE. Just being honest from a person who went to a university to become a Registerd Dental Hygienist..licensed in anesthesia and nitrous.. I paid $48,000 to become one and this was in 1998. Just saying.
What you want to say BS dental hygienist is not a good degree?? please guide me in easy way
@@user-gk2pz7uq4g It's a very high in demand and most likely high paying job.. If you enjoy repetitive motions and don't mind working very close to a person. then it is a great job. I will say that it is hard on your neck and back, so watch your posture and have a balance with work and life. Take care of your health because it is a hard job, touching people with sharp instruments all day long. This is the truth.
Peace love teeth❤.
Thank you
PLT! thank YOU for watching!!
Maam ... In which country do you practice right now?
PEACE LOVE TEETH 🦷❤️🪥🍁🍃
What if I want to become an orthodontist? Does it make sense to become a hygienist first?? I have no experience in dentistry. I was wondering what you would do in my situation
You should go to dental school if you want to be an orthodontist . Because hygienists clean teeth they are separate . There are assistants for ortho who work with patients and then the dr but typically no hygienists in an office . I’d go to dental school instead if interested in ortho
you make great videos
thank you so much for watching!
perfect work
I don't want to work for a dentist period or be forced to deal with rude patients I'm out
I wanted to be a nurse but now i’m not so sure because i can’t comprehend the idea of washing people, i feel bad but i don’t think that’s for me😔😞 now i’m thinking about dental hygiene
I was also looking at nursing but ultimately decided against it because of having to lift very heavy, large people. I have a previous back injury and it isn't worth it to me to reinjure myself. Do what's right for you!
What tongue scraper do you recommend for stubborn gunk
been loving this one lately: Orabrush Tongue Scraper - amzn.to/3lVvoQr
@@TeethTalkI love that one I been using it for years one of my favorites ❤
Not to be a downbringer but i've read that "Dentists" in the US have the highest suicid,e rates in the medical fields due to pressure and bad salaries in the beginning.
Dental Hygienists are pretty different though, They mostly clean teeth and guide the patients on how to brush properly and take care of the teeth.
I saw that too i was going to pursue dentistry but i chose hygienist instead for that reason
Is it possible to make 100k a year as a dental hygienist in florida?
Hey teeth talk giro if I have a spicific question do you know where I could ask online though
Hello, hope you are doing well!
Can someone get a job just with a degree for RDH or has to get the bachelor.
And degree salary vs bachelor's salary.
If you could explain it to me please.
here's my bachelors vs associate degree video -- hope this helps: czcams.com/video/-kTWLdPVfiA/video.html
@@TeethTalk Thank you so much.
Can you become a dental hygienist if you have essential tremors? It’s a neurological condition which makes the hands shake. Some have it more serious than others.
can you remain steady while injecting a patient?
if a patient sees you shaking with a needle, it might make them lose confidence in your abilities.
No
Mam i want to say something.....i m hvng bad breath from long tym ......i brush my teeth regularly....
I concern dr. He saya no problem in ur mouth or teeth they suggest to meet gastroenterology, i saw there stl m hvng bad breath itz lyk deases......plz help me.....
Having a bad may breath may come in different form; either it psychological or physiology. Just as what you said that you have visited a Dentist and and was referred to other medical practitioner and the halitosis (bad breath) is still there, if you would not mind you can dm for a chat
It’s too bad dental hygiene schools are so strict on GPA because so many are passionate about it but can’t get a chance based on past grades. Sucks
Is it terrible to go for this if your teeth aren't perfect looking
not at all terrible!!! sometimes it's even better! here's my video that explains -- czcams.com/video/NZr0dqWaBy0/video.html
I am dental hygienist in india
Shimmy!
🎉🎉🎉
Is 30 years too old to start working as dental hygienist?
not at all! I had several classmates in their late 30s in dental hygiene school!
🫶
dental hygiene could be a career for me but im not smart enough
Do not say that!! I’m on the same boat. Math and sciences were never my strong suites and I always struggled with school. I just finished my first semester of prerequisites for the dental hygiene program (all science classes) with my worst grade being a C!! (This has never happened before! My best grade was always a C) You just need to really commit yourself to your studies and make sure you put in the work of learning the material outside of classes. If I can do it, so can you!!! I believe you!!
@@Paola-lx8yz well people told me I wasn't Good enough they think I'm a too stupid to do anything ok I'm out in fact someone tried to force me to become a dental hygienist against my will I dont want to do that I don't feel like it I I don't want to be forced into dealing with mean patients against my will not worth it
@@Paola-lx8yz is it an online class you take for dental or is it classes at your local college? What’s the best route
You got this. The pay is amazing.
Do I have to be so smart to become a dental hygienist?
prerequisite courses are science-heavy, but you can do anything you set your mind to with studying! here's my video that goes over skills required: czcams.com/video/Vhxz8Qe69gg/video.html and czcams.com/video/_sMOhUgOXK4/video.html
@@TeethTalk thank you 😊
