Hi your work is awesome! , can you help me figure this out ? Went to a dentist for my first time and she said I need deep cleaning without doing any perio charting! Is this legit ? No evidence and she said it’s only diagnosed by x Ray .🤷♂️
True comment. I'm in my staff room watching literally everything, until my university work hours start.
Good explanatory skills. Are you a faculty member for dental students?
I'm a dental assisting student and these videos are really helpful for my x-ray exam coming up. Thank you!

How long takes it to be able to see every minimal cavity at a dental x-ray?
Is it difficult to learn?
Thanks for sharing!
I'm not quite out of highschool yet, but I plan on becoming a dental assistant to save up for dental hygienist school, and this is honestly 1. helping me for later 2. showing me more and more about dental hygienist work and that this is legitimately something I think I would enjoy doing and 3. giving me a good example of a career choice that can grow like crazy (I have a slight hope of going from hygienist to dentist but I'm not super sure of that)
Helpful!
It's been my second day after i found out ur channel and I do learn lots of things because I'm actually so into it and addicted to almost all of ur video content😂 I am now in my senior high and taking abm but u just made me change my course hehehehehe.....
Super helpful!
I’ve learnt so much from your videos! 💕
thank you SO much for your support :)
@@TeethTalk you’re so welcome! I love watching your videos don’t think I’ve missed one x
Thanks you explain professional and sample 😍🦷
As a new dental hygienist I love your videos!!
thank you!!! so much! and welcome to the amazing RDH profession!
I am in my third week of Dental Assisting School and this is very helpful
Thank you for educating me
Very clear explanation, thanks so much Teeth Talk Girl!
thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for making such an amazing content. I Appreciate it
thank you for watching!
Thanks so much🌹🙏
I love your videos! Great job. I'd just like to say that, it may be confusing to the patient to hear that radiolucency is normal, because when we are looking for endo infections etc we use this term.
totally confusing! and like I said in this video we use it lots for general dentistry showing decay! hope this video helped a little! thank you so much for watching :)
Thanks Girl! I like it!
Really good video,you explained everything really well!
so happy to hear that thank you for watching!!!
Thank you so much for this great video🧡🧡
,
thank you for watching!
Which is left and which is right?
Thank you for the video!
Ive had one of those tiny cavities you mentioned , almost so small that I had it for years * big fear of going to an adult dentist * and somehow never grew !
And was the quickest filling I ever had since it was super small between two back teeth
Yeah, i have some small cavities too that ive had for years.
I wonder if it's necessary to have them drilled.
@@nonenone2669 very small cavities can remineralize if the damage is only limited to enamel
@Teethtalkgirl can your dentist miss a cavity?? & does anxiety led to tooth pain? Thank you for your informational videos !
As a 14 year old who wants to be a dentist this was too much lol but I loved learning about it.
Dental assisting courses some are 10 weeks long but you do learn a lot!
She is the best!
Hi Whitney, I've checked your blog and your TH-cam channel for information about roots being reabsorbed. The hygienist said the roots are flattening. The dentist didn't mention it. What are the signs I should watch for to let me know when it's time for more action?
So just to be clear, if you catch a cavity when it is only in the enamel it can be saved correct? Also, does this mean that if u get it filled it will stop it from decaying further toward the root?
I’m watching your videos to learn for my exams😅 (italian dental school, graduating in dentistry)
You are very energetic person the way you’re explaining everything you make people interesting in learning thank you.
How to take right X-ray?
thank you so much for this kind comment!!! and my "how to take" good xrays video is coming this Thursday :)
Dentists always seem so happy when patients are able to talk about anything teeth related
i actually just took my first set of bitewings today! so fun!
Look at her teeth. I trust her.
dentists do not perform procedures on themselves by themselves 😂
I enjoy this thank you! One day I tried out a different dentist and he tried to say I needed so many fillings etc and knew he was full of s*it because I knew enough about tooth x-rays 😂! A previous dentist hygienist tried to say my brace pegs where cavities 🤨
Yaaayy my fave subject at da school
I liked it a lot too!!!!
Dr.its great 👍 I like u r way of understanding...it's good..love from Pakistan____
Can you do a video about your dental work specifically pls?
SECOND
lol sure!!!!! I'm actually filming my boss giving me a dental cleaning soon!
Hey, what do you think of baking soda as a tooth whitener?
Can you make a video for Dental assistants who are trying to study for the NELDA RHS Exam!
GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
Thanks
Mam if incase decay is more reaching to cusp of the tooth what will happen? I mean what causes will happen in our future life?plz reply.thanks
Her smile is the kind which comes as an example in the dictionary under the word perfect
Thx
Hi Whitney, do you have a video on "helping know the L and R sides on X-rays?
yes on IG -- hope this helps: instagram.com/reel/CMIOWp-pkyO/?igshid=NmNmNjAwNzg%3D
I been looking for a video cause in my office they haven’t explained to me ❤😊
How much radiopaque should the root filling be in order for it to be considered good treatement?
I have a weird question. Should I be using a led apron for myself as well when I take X-rays with a handheld device? I never used one in DA school so I’m not sure
I had a filling done about a month ago. I haven't been able to chew on that side of my mouth since the filling. Now a month later I have a swollen face. So, I just had an x-ray and it showed a small infection around the root of the tooth.. The dentist said the tooth was able to be moved a little. He said my options are extraction or root canal. If he is moving the tooth, will it continue to move after the root canal? Would it be better to just pull it?
Can you please go over AAP determination using a periodontal chart and then grading of periodontitis using % RBL/ age. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. my friends and I are struggling with this and study for boards. We've learned so much from you and want more difficult content!
Hi friend! Thank you so much for this video request! Great suggestion and will definitely add to my list! Wishing you all the positive toothy vibes!!!!
Can you make a video on silver fillings containing mercury ?
Hi!
Your such an inspiration to the young generation. Thank you for sharing videos about the dentistry.
I want to become a dentist assistant. However, I have fear of X-ray . I researched about what are the pros and cons about dental assistant. The first website came up on google and said
“ One of the most common health hazards besides pathogens that you will be exposed to as a dental assistant is x-rays. X-Rays are harmful if you are exposed to them in large quantities. There is also a minimal chance that x-rays can cause congenital disabilities. X-rays are known to cause cancer if you are overexposed. X-Rays can damage the human reproductive cells and change DNA, making it more likely for a person to develop cancer in one of their organs.”
Can you explain me more about x rays .
hi there! thank you so much for your kind words! no worries about radiation exposure - as long as you take the proper precautions (standing behind a wall or at least 6ft away) then you're all good taking them on patients all day without being exposed! here is my video more about that - hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/rbY8b0R5tkc/w-d-xo.html
Greetings Ms. Whitney!
So happy to have come across your channel! I have a few QUESTIONS.
What’s the difference between a cavity vs. decay?
And, how do you know you need a small filing or large filing?
Lastly, if you have a very small crack tooth on the side behind your molar
and has a cavity or decay, can you still go for Bonding rather than a crown?
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
hi friend thank you for being here! here is a video of mine that should help answer your questions: th-cam.com/video/Fhaxk03viJI/w-d-xo.html
@@TeethTalk Hello again Ms. Whitney! Thank you for providing me the link to my questions ☺️. I’ve been a recent Subscriber of yours since last month or 2 months ago? I hope you continue to create insightful videos! 🙂 And continue to “Make A Difference” for Patients like us who knows absolutely nothing when it comes to the Dental field of expertise.
Ms. Whitney, I am in terrible need of your Professional Advice. Just this late afternoon, I found out when I spoke to the Office Manager about a behavior, incident and experienced I had on the day of my surgery with one of the staff who was monitoring my blood pressure and heart regarding with her very rude behavior and un-compassionate demeanor, the Office Manager informed me that my Dentist has decided to terminate me as a patient and should be receiving a letter on the mail.
I am in absolute shock because I wanted to speak directly to my Dentist before this happened to address an incident I had on the day of my surgery during Anesthesia procedure where I had an Anesthesia Reaction (as soon as the Anesthesia came to effect that lasted for a week) becoming completely unaware of my surroundings and what I was doing and once I gain my senses right before I fell asleep and realized I was touching/rubbing my Dentist’s arm I STOPPED IT!!! I’ve been meaning to speak to him about it because right after my surgery I noticed my dentist’s cold behavior towards me (which I feel utter humiliation). I wanted to simply address the Misunderstanding and resolve this matter but as you know this was extremely embarrassing incident so, I had a hard time attempting to speak about to him whenever I had the chance to talk to him on the phone 😔. Just when I mustered the courage to finally address it and before I could even schedule an appointment to speak to him on the phone with Fees, that’s when the Office Manager told me that the Dentist-Patient Relationship has been Terminated. I actually have notes and dates before today where I actually written down my Anesthesia Side Effects that I wanted to inform him including my embarrassing situation and ask him to Recommend me to another Doctor if I could not find myself to see him as my Dentist or no longer be treated by him as I wrote this on my note.
Ms. Whitney, what action or next step can I do from here?
I feel very hurt, misjudged and feel the unfairness in this matter of situation.
Once I find a new Dentist, I intend to communicate with them of this incident of where I simply had an Anesthesia Reaction and my conduct is intended without malice. It is for this very reason I want to AVOID such Misunderstanding that could have been resolved only if I finally had the chance. And, would have the Staff’s grace and understanding if I acted out out of my character and would never such act on my behalf in sober’s mind.
I am terribly grateful in advance for your words of wisdom, expertise and Professionalism 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@TeethTalk P.S I am A Christian. Single for 4+ years by choice. And practice Celibacy until Marriage. Therefore, the conduct and state that I was in under Anesthesia is truly out of my character. Just wanted to share that as I feel it is quite a significant piece of information regarding my character 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@goodvibes7424What happened to you was really unfair! I didn’t know that a patient could be terminated! I feel that the matter should be raised to the panel via an authoritative figure. They owe you an apology for being heavily misunderstood and treating you poorly. You didn’t even get a chance to explain yourself. That’s really frustrating. I would be more mad at the dentist who misunderstood my actions post-anaesthesia and then terminated me, over the rudeness of his staff..Hope your mind settles from this rather disturbing event! It’s such a devastatingly unjust situation.
@@ilhamazad Thank you so much for reaching out and for extending your compassion and kindness. I actually never received the Letter on Mail. And since I didn’t know what to do I never went back to that Dentistry Clinic. I did however shared it with a trusted Senior Family Member as I’ve mentioned was quite an embarrassing situation and experienced for me as it had never happened before so that in a lot of ways made me feel understood. And I just prayed over the nightmare, left it to God and moved on with my life.
I hope you are enjoying the Season of the upcoming Holidays! Wishing you all the Best 🙂
Now I can impress my hygienist with my knowledge of x-rays! Probably not.
you will!!!!
I love your videos! ❤️❤️
thank you for watching!
Hii I have braces on my top teeth but not on my bottom teeth and my back tooth is kinda sore and I know in one of your videos that migh mean you havw cavities..? Should I be worried.? Or not
Is it possible a shadow near the root of s molar ( #16 ) that looks like it might be an abscess , will clear up if the patient is experiencing a flare-up in there autoimmune disease . If so , would N-Said's or even prednisone ( say 10 mg 's for 5 days with a taper of 5 mg's for the following 7 days ) clear up a -- maybe -- abscess from. forming into a full blown infection ? If so and x-rays confirm absent of shadow , , would RCT still be in order ?
I chipped my tooth like 5-6 years ago on one of my two front teeth and it was small and they filled it so I wanna see how much of my tooth they cut out just in case
Why do you constantly smile in your videos? Happy girl. I guess.
Hello there, I’m thinking about getting an amalgam removal , so is it possible that the teeth can break if the silver filling is bigger then normal , or it’s an really old filling ??
I wish someone would be able to discover a non-painful and short way of doing a full dental xray.
So, how do we know if this type of xray can have brace?
hello whitney, first time viewer great great great info . if i had to critique the video i would say you have wwaayyy too much body movement almost like a bobble head, it makes me dizzy. no2. is too many cuts on editing probably close to a hundred who knows i could not keep count. you're doing a great job on all other points.very nice of you to care enough to even make the videos. and your smile is incredible better than any top celebrity out there. keep up the good work and thanks for caring to make the videos.
Thank you for this! I feel like I know what I’m talking about when I’m in the chair lol! 😂
Also, if you know what number tooth they're talking about they loose their minds
LOL TRUTH
yay makes me so happy!
@@glendaanderson4969 lol nice!
I had black ball like under my lower tooth an bone is root canal required?or can tooth infection cured by antibiotics?
I've had in one of my front teeth and tooth next to it. Dentist thought it appeared fine until xray which showed white mass. Now I am being referred elsewhere. Any other suggestions on what it could be? X
Can you do a charting video please?
yes! I'd love to do a technique video one day - but until then - here is my informational video hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/25XbZz83ytE/w-d-xo.html
Here's a question in middle school my 5 cavities all in middle school was caused by not brushihg so how can I prevent this from happening again
I get that Xrays are useful, but I feel in the US they over do them. Also, isn´t one panoramic easier than taking multiple X-rays? Thanks for all the information, BTW.
I'm looking at getting a root canal after a crown has already been placed on my last lower tooth/molar. Since the crown, I can't bite down and the tooth/crown remains sensitive to temp (hot/cold, and even room temp water hurts). It's been almost 4 months, but my dentist can't find any issues so is referring me to an Endodontist. I've heard root canals are a bad choice, but what other choice do I have? None, really.
Can you do a day in the life
yes! here is my most recent one! hope you enjoy: th-cam.com/video/pk2v0voiQBQ/w-d-xo.html
Mam I have done temporary filling many times why can't I do permanent filling and they are asking for root canal but I wonder why 🤐 please reply
You have beautiful teeth
Can decay not be seen behind amalgam filling?
how do you take a vertical x-ray?
I was taught that decay in the enamel should have a sealant
I've heard of this philosophy - as long as the decay is removed beforehand! It depends on the style and technique of the dentist!
Hi, i just wanna know is the tooth pulp from the upper front tooth far awat from the edges? Say im 14 years old
