Speaking as a dental hygienist in her 30s who has a master’s degree in dental hygiene. If I had to do it all over again I would not . The return on investment is not comparable. I went to a private university. I loved being a clinical dental hygienist and wished I stopped at just my associates degree. Do not buy into the hype that more education is better. I think the younger generation is catching on but that’s my two cents.😘
Totally a great comment! Thank you for sharing this! Sending positive toothy vibes your way :)
Yea I’m not passing an associates it’s not going to make me any more money
Same. Stopping at associates.
I know I don't want to teach.
And the last time i wanna research is in this dental hygiene program for class assignments. You hear me.
Other than that, I see no benefit other then personal satisfaction and accomplishment.
I also already have a bachelor's degree so I've already proven to myself whatever I needed to. Dont know what that was since it was a waste of money which is why I've gone back to do hygiene but not making that mistake again.
so you get paid the same with a masters as well?
Keira Ontiveros yes
From your fav Periodontist (LOL!) who speaks Italian, great video. I agree that the environment can make a big difference! Some environments (offices and teams) are simply better than others. When you own a dental practice/business, you must create an awesome work environment and also hire the right team! A lot more but you get the idea. Keep up the great work!
Hi Doc!!! Thank you so much for watching!!! Sending positive toothy vibes your way :)
I love this so much! I have been searching for something just like this! Thank you for making this :-)
YAY! Thank you so much for watching :) I'm working on another similar video all about "extra things you can do with your RDH degree" so if you want to focus on clinical work but also do additional dental hygiene stuff on the side! I'll post it in a few weeks :)
Teeth Talk Girl yay! I’ll be looking forward to it! ☺️
your energy is so sweet and upbeat. thanks for being such a light in this world. 🥺
wow wow wow thank you so much for this kind comment. it means more than you know. glad we can raise each other up :)
One option to add to your list: Quality Assurance for a group or Dental HMO. I found it very rewarding - including such activities as research and peer review and accreditation.
This video was so helpful! Thank you Whitney ☺️
Thank you so much for watching!!! Sending positive toothy vibes your way, Denise :)
finally a really helpful video about non clincal dental work thank you so so much
Do you think you do a video on different dental hygiene specialties (general, orthodontics, paedodontics, periodontics...) and talk about each of them (extra schooling, important info...) I’m going into my 2nd year of hygiene school 🦷☺️
I love your videos, they're really helpful
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING and for commenting kind!!!
You're Soooo Amazing You Inspire Me To Be More Than A Dental Hygienist. I'm In Dental Hygiene School Right Now
Which dental school do you go to?
Energy in this video is ubeatable! will definitely be showing my support towards happy teeth and its mission :)
thank you so much for your kind comment! truly means so much to me! stay well my friend!
Thanks for letting us know ♥️
Hey. I was wondering if you could do a “what I eat in day video” vlog in which you go into the details and share recipes of what you eat to maintain your pearly whites, prevent staining and to keep things interesting, in terms of what you eat; without too many damaging foods to the teeth yet that is still importantly satiating and nutritious. Thanks 😊
Great video idea!!! Definitely planning on adding more vlogs soon :)
I love your energy omg. Right now Im active duty and I am looking into going to school while in the military. Due to covid I don't know how this will all work out but I'm willing to do whatever I can
thank you so much for watching and for you kind comment! thank you for your service and I'm so excited for your dental future!!!
Teeth Talk Girl of course!🙏🏼❤️ and thank you for your support 😊
Whitney you are too much for me. I luv watching you and i benefited alot. God bless u🙏. Great RDH.
Oh my gooooooodnessss thank you so much for this kind comment. Just made my day. I appreciate you!
Love this video and your channel! I’m actually planing to become a dentist though so do you know any dentist youtubers?
Yes!!! Sending you the best! Joyce the Dentist and Laura Smiles are great!
This video was so great and helpful, thank you! ❤️
So great to hear that! Thank you for watching and commenting kind :)
Loveeeeee that book!
Great video Whitney!
Thanks for watching, friend! Positive toothy vibes!
i loved teeth since ninth grade
I love you so much the way you teach
If I wanted to advance into a general dentist after becoming a hygienist would the bachelors degree be better so I would only need to go to dental school to become a general dentist but still have the option of a hygienist.
Thank you for your videos! I’m considering a career change into a more essential career such as this, during COVID. Would you say being a dental hygienist is “essential” and they’re still working full time? Thank you for your help!
Hi there! Thank you so much for watching! Great question...! It's super hard to say but overall - we were one of the first industries to open back up - however it was done on a state by state basis. A dentist is 100% essential because they were working the whole time for emergencies (as well as dental assistants). Hygienists are mostly back to working full-time due to the overflow of patients that were rescheduled during the shut down. Hope this helps.
Thank you! 💖💜💖
I transferred to NYU for DH for my Associates I was thinking about switching to the Bachelors program so I can do Dental assisting training but would I need my BS or I can do it with an Associates Degree ?
in the netherlands dental hygienst learn, and are allowed to make fillings aswell😁
that is so awesome! thank you for sharing! some states in the USA allow expanded function hygienists to place fillings also - but not my state!
You are a very good speaker ♥️
THANK YOU for this kind comment :)
@@TeethTalk I’m going to start an advanced dental assistant school soon
And I never went to school here
I’m a little nervous about it because I need to memorize the teeth numbers and the names and the instruments and more
I watch it your video’s they are very helpful
Can you give me an advice
I really wish i did like being a dental hygienist. But i hate it. I wasted so much loan on study this. Now i study something else.
It was always the same task all the time, and neck, and back hurts. I wish i loved it .....
Do orthodontists generally hire hygienists? Or do they mostly just let the general dentists' offices do the cleanings?
i would like to know this too!
Great question! I think it just depends on the office! In my area - I don't know of any ortho offices with hygienists. However - it is not unheard of for an orthodontist to hire a hygienist! Totally something that is possible and cool! I'm sure there are cities where you'll find it common!!!
I was appalled by something I saw I was looking at jobs to kind of see skills and I saw this
Job description:
Scaling and polishing teeth
Hello Whitney! Love your channel, by any chance do you know if dental hygienist can own their own practice? I live in the state of Florida and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, please help 🙏
thank you for watching :)
it depends on the state! here's the list with info: www.adha.org/resources-docs/7513_Direct_Access_to_Care_from_DH.pdf hope this helps!
@@TeethTalk awesome! Thanks for the quick response 👍 💕
I like your shirt!
Thank you!!! I got it SOOO long ago from someone in dental hygiene school! I don't know where it's from! Maybe someone home made it?! :)
May i ask, is it possible to still work while going to School the reason I ask is because I’m really interested in Pursuing this career field but I am a single Dad with rent and other bills to pay. Would it be impossible for me to do this? Thank you
I want that tooth purse girl!
Coming this summer!!! Can't wait! www.givehappyteeth.com
Already joined ;) 😘 can’t wait!!! You’re awesome!
There are so many opportunities
Can you do a video on dental technician and dental therapist
Great video idea! Will work on these :)
As someone who graduated from a 9 month dental assisting class with an RDA, would you recommend a dental hygienist as a position to move up in at a dental office? Thanks in advance
Hey there! Congrats on graduating! It's totally up to you! I feel that a dental assistant and a dental hygienist are two very different jobs! I've been both and I love both for different reasons! It really has to come from within - what you personally want! Sorry this was of no help!
Dental hygiene jobs generally will pay more than dental assisting jobs however there's pros and cons to both, of course! Sending positive vibes your way! I'm all about doing what you love the most!
@@TeethTalk Thanks. I graduated in August of 2019 but struggled to find employment until February of this year which I actually got a job as a sterile processing technician in a hospital which I'm satisfied with. I still have dental assisting as an option but would someday like to be a radiology technician at my work and my hospital can pay for when I want to go back to school. I still have a hygienist as another option as well. I'm wanting to see if I can do all my general eds online sometime.

Can you go from a dental hygienist to a dentist?
What about going from a dental hygienist to an orthodontist?
totally can! will need to take dental school prerequisites, DAT, and apply to dental school. then attend dental school and after can become an orthodontist! it's a process but it can happen :)
@@TeethTalk What are your thoughts on male dental hygienist?
I am wanting to be a dental hygienist.
Yay! Sending positive toothy vibes your way! So excited for you!
@@TeethTalk yeah I'm in 12th grade this year so I wanted to be a rn first but changed my mind. Just something inside of me told me I need to be a dental hygienist.
My office shut down forever due to covid.... I'm shocked and so sad.. I'm not a dental assistant anymore 😞
Find another practice! Don’t give up just because someone else’s plans changed. If you like the field, keep at it. (Speaking from a dental assistant [5 years])
Is it weird for dental hygienists to wear the white coat? I saw you wear them in some of your videos and got curious! I get cold easily, so it’d be life changing, but I’m just not sure if the dentists would find it problematic
Great question! I'm sure it depends on the office! I actually only wear the white coat for my videos - I don't generally wear it during "real" work. I'm all about the overjackets! And now, I've also been wearing the disposable gown over everything so I've said goodbye to all "scrub fashion style" lol!
Can you suggest any remote job for dental hygenist from India.
Is it true that you have to have nice teeth to be a dental hygienist?
nope!!! I actually have a video all about that! hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/NZr0dqWaBy0/w-d-xo.html
I LIKE you
You should monetize your channel☺️
