Mam i goning to start my dental hyginiest journey in india this year i m gald to see your dental hyginiest video i will first time a video of dental hyginiest on youtube like you do make video regularly so i cam your videos
Tatiana Giraldo Hey, so when applying to college what major do you choose if you want to be a dental hygienist! I’m in high school ( voc ) and I’m in the dental assisting program but I don’t know what to do as far as college majors.
I think I chose this major is because I love how you work with yourself. Besides the dentist, you’re kind of your own boss. You work you schedule without people having to tell you what to do. It’s a very independent position and I love it. This video was cool
I have worked with Dental hygienists that dictate their schedule and choose how long to schedule appointments, have the freedom to order whatever supplies they need or prefer (pink gloves, different mask colors, etc). But, I have also worked with Dental Hygienists that are treated like dental assistants, which isn't bad but they are pulled to help assist the Dr. etc.
I've been a Dental Hygienist for 7 years, and this video is pretty accurate to what I do. She works in a nicer office. Some offices are older, and the rooms are smaller, and there's no TV, and no window.
as a student (almost licensed!) with 0 experience, it's really comforting to know that our routines in clinic are basically the same as a practicing hygienist. minus the part where you see a lot more patients in one day. It just makes it less intimidating knowing I am being prepared correctly. Thank you!!
The most expensive thing on the planet is trust. It can take years to buy and simply a question of seconds to lose. . At the point when you fully trust someone, either you get an individual for life or an exercise forever. There’s no in the middle. Trust lies at the center of love; there can be no true love without trust. I feel so happy that the trust on one another continues developing. One of the greatest and toughest intensity of trust is that it is extremely difficult to build, however exceptionally simpler to obliterate. It resembles circulatory strain. It’s silent, vital to great wellbeing, yet whenever abused it is deadly.
This just makes me even more excited to become a dental hygienist. I’m starting a two month trade school for dental assistant then more schooling for dental Hygiene🤗💕but that office is gorgeous 😩
@@omittable actually, dental assistants get WAY underpaid compared to hygienist. Average wage for DA is $13 to $16 where hygienist make anywhere from $30 to $40 an hour. Dental assistants do A LOT more than hygienist and are always under appreciated also. So no Mali Jabb... We don't get paid enough to do 90% of the workload while hygienists get away doing 10% of the workload while getting a fat check.
Really appreciate your videos. My daughter is in college doing her core classes until she figures out what direction to go into. I have told her maybe become a dental assistant first to get the feel of working in a dental office. Then finish school for dental hygienist. I'm a mental health nurse and I work long hours, overnight, holidays and mandated many times. I don't want my daughter to live a life that requires to much time away from her to enjoying life and family.

@@dailydestiney7410 hello, would u recommend a longer program like fortis college, online certification, or 3 month actual dental assistant school in my city. Like what made you choose on how you wanted to do it?
I just came across this channel. I'm a dental hygienist in Michigan. I graduated from the local college in 1985. Have been with the same dentist for 34 yrs, he is 90 and going good. He is down to 3 days a week. It's a super old office and many patients are as old as the doctor, he is working on 5th generation patients. I'll probably retire in about a year. When I think how much I'll miss those people I get sentimental. I wish I had modern equipment like you. Very nice office. When I first hired in I was told the first thing you do is punch in, the second thing you di is start the coffee pot. Then continue. Ha ha

@@zohashahid30984 I ended up retiring in December 22 due to breast cancer and surgery that went wrong. This last December the doctor had heart surgery and is weak and can't work now. It was a good ride while it lasted and I will always be grateful for it.

Abby Miller I am interested to take my prerequisites as well to get into the clinical part of it for two years. Do you mind telling me what classes are you taking for prerequisites. Thank you so much💜

I was stuck between going to school to become a Crime Scene Investigator and a Dental Hygienist! But I’m graduating senior year in a couple months and going to college to become a dental hygienist! WISH ME LUCK😁🌟
Ronald Wanja I just now started college for dental hygiene! Currently have 6 classes this semester! Super stressful! If dental hygiene isn’t really what I want to be after getting the degree I’ll probably head over to real estate
After struggling to remove calculus from my teeth for years I finally pushed myself and went to the dentist.Years of bad breath and snidey comments from people literally blown away by a hygienist who removed the calculus within 30 mins. Why didn't I go sooner ? No longer to I have to hold back in social situations...my teeth have been set free...
Originally I was going to school to become a RDH but got pressured to pursue a different career route. Now I’m going back to become an RDH. I always knew I wanted to be one. This is a nice reminder. Thank you!
I've always been interested in the dental hygienist career but I was always scared to pursue it because I heard it's hard to get a job as a dental hygienist. Sometimes I come back to these videos and think if I should just go for it.
Great video, thanks for showing everyone what we go through. It's so funny how people literally have no clue, as an RDH for 11 years now, I still love it very much, but it is definitely A LOT! I only work about 2 days a week nowadays. Anyway, keep making videos, you rock!
@@TheTVqueen hi there. Sure, I can elaborate, but first, I'm so happy you're considering it. A good friend of mine was an RDH for idk, maybe 18 or 19 years and she went back to school to become an RN and she enjoys being able to do both, but her primary is nursing at the hospital. Anyway, Hygiene put me in a place where some already slightly damaged cervical and lumbar areas of the spine from when I was in the Army, became more damaged. Pain is no fun, and it can put a major damper on work and everything surrounding it. Posture is everything as a RDH so my back was making life hard. In my case, I've always had large breasts and my shoulders just moved more and more forward to accomodate the weight of those over the years, creating a major problem. Also, I'm left handed and dental hygiene caters to the majority, which is not me. Some other cons are time, sometimes you feel rushed to see all of your patients; therefore you find yourself trying to accommodate the patient and save time by losing the most ergonomic position and just working in the position that will save the most time. The redundancy of the daily routine also gets a lot of hygienists. Listen, although I have introduced you to some of the cons, there are many, many pros out there so maybe go in and shadow a hygienist and see how you like it. The field would love to have you 😉
I know this was a year ago, but I’m very interested in dental hygiene and I wanted to know how hard it was to learn the software for patients and stuff like that.

I have recently sparked interest of becoming a dental hygienist bc of my wisdom teeth pain it’s made me so interested in the way our mouth affects other areas of our bodies
This was so great! I'm a dental assistant at a very high volume office and I'm starting hygiene school this Fall! I've been on a waiting list for years! Can't wait for my days to look like this♥️😁

lrg Yeah no worries! Honestly, there’s a lot of potential reasons. I might stick with nursing as I just want to consider other possibilities. I went into the program with one of my best friends and she has since left the program; I also had some bad experience in the hospital and overall I just haven’t had time/don’t enjoy what I’m doing with my time while in the program. I have so much respect for the field and I know it’s in demand, but I guess I went into it blindly and while I want to help people and care for them, I don’t want to do it at the cost of my own well-being. Perhaps I will enjoy it eventually and feel happy as I know there’s so many different parts of nursing. Although, all things considered, I have always been a person who’s terrible with knowing what they want in life and despite it being my first year at uni I feel like this is my first time truly exploring possibilities for my future.
@@Rellchello thank you for the reply. I was in a similar dilemma in choosing a major (I'm going to stick with nursing ) but the way I see it as long as you get through the first rough years of nursing you can find a more chill position. Wishing you all the best in your educational journey!
lrg I’m glad that you were able to figure it out! And thank you! I know that if I do stick with nursing I’d want a more chill position as well haha. Best of luck with your schooling!
I cant believe you do so much for a hygienist! But it definitely is great to get a hygienist that has been an assistant before because some hygienists don't help out whatsoever. But you are great at what you do!
I'm a DH & considered nursing for more hours, more position options, more growth opportunities & more benefits. Shadow both if you can. Talk to many people in the DH field. Good luck.
Just keep in mind....repetition, lack of benefits, hanging your face in someone else's face for 8 hours to mention a few others. However the daily pay is good if you find enough days to fill. Good luck!
You mentioned that you were a dental assistant before you became a hygienist, How old were you when you went back to school if you don’t mind me asking
Hey there! No worries! So, I actually went to DH school immediately after getting my bachelors degree in Biology. So, I was 22 when I started DH school. I worked as a dental assistant during DH school. Hope this helps!
@@TeethTalk omg so young, I am 31 currently doing my prerequisites for DH school. I went to DA school but never worked as a DA just got my license in Radiology but never used it. I feel so old starting the process.
S Fort Same here girl! I’ll be 31 this month and still taking my prerequisites. Nothing to be ashamed of. It is never too late to follow our dreams 😊 (at least that’s what I keep telling to myself :P)
This was so helpful, I’ve been questioning whether I want to become a Dental Hygienist because I’m scared I’m going to regret my choice (I’m really indecisive)
I’m currently interested in dental hygienist and I wanted to check out whatever you guys doing in the video. It was interesting and cool! Thank you for the video!
I wish the dental hygienist at my office helped out as much as you did! With there only being 2 dental assistants it can be hard to catch up with sterile. I’d like to bring it to her attention but she always gets so defensive. Anywho, great content!! 💓
Thanks for a great video, I’m a dental nurse in the UK 🇬🇧 & hygienists in this country always have a nurse to do the cleaning/surgery setting up/instruments so it’s strange to see you do it all yourself but go you! 🙌🏻😃 ☺️ It’s mainly due to chaperoning as it used to be like that in the old days...no nurse in surgery x
Your channel was suggested to me and I wanted to say "very nicely done". That pretty much sums up the daily life of a dental hygienist. I too was an assistant for almost 15 yrs and a hygienist for another 20 and still counting. I Love my job but mostly my patients. I am supporting your channel with a thumbs up.👍
I'm looking into a career change and have been heavily considering dental hygienist as an option. May I ask, how did you decide that it was what you wanted to do?
wow, this video popped up in my recommendations. i just started school to become a dental hygienist! i feel like this was a sign to keep pushing because i was getting discouraged 🙁
Thank you so much!!! They are White Cross Scrubs! I have a coupon code on allheart.com for 15% off = 33312THTKGL (399 NAVY JOGGER PANT, WHITE CROSS FIT)
Wow you’re so accurate. Honestly I haven’t seen that level of care and accuracy in my country ever! And it’s Switzerland..l like the phones and keyboards are not covered with something or I don’t think they get wiped.
Your videos have really helped me out. Today I had my first check up in ten years and tomorrow I’m seeing the hygienist. I’m very lucky there was a cancellation! Thank you for the comfort.

Well this gives me an idea of how my dental hygienist's Day run on a regular basis. This will be an interesting topic next time I go to the dentist I can mention to her that I saw your video. I like my hygienist she's very conversational.
hi!! Just came across this because I’m a high school student and I think this would be a great career for me!! I love how u are working by yourself in a way and the pay is pretty darn good for the amount of schooling required!! Thx so much for posting this!!
Came in to get a cleaning for the first time in years because fears of my last visit at my previous dentist. The were very calming and assured me I would be fine. Left with a great experience and a clean mouth!
It amazes me that you have to do all the prep yourself. I have a dental nurse/assistant to do all the set up, assisting and clean down between patients and at the end of the day.
I do it one office and don't in another...don't mind if I have time but I will not work all day without a break. Hour lunch...it is repetitive but all patients are different. HYG 30 yrs. Worked in one office 20 plus yrs. I love having hyg asst. Plus office isn't paying me for doing tasks while I could be seeing an extra patient vs cleaning rooms and setting up. I saw a suction funnel...surprisingly yall still have those in such a modern office. Do have progress note templetes? Peace love and teeth 😊😊
Idk why watching a day in the life of [insert healthcare worker title here] makes me feel so cozy for some reason. You guys seem like you enjoy your work.
Ohh completely awesome, i wish i had a hygienist like you in my clinic, beautiful smile with a therapeutic voice it heals. Thank you for being with us😍 love you.. stay happy.. good luck..
I’ve been looking for a vid about life as a hygienist for a while and this is really well put! I’ve been thinking about enrolling as a hygienist for a while now.
Amazing!!! Here in Brazil, I use to go to a clinic that a dentist perform cleaning routine, every six months. The funny part is that she has an assistant to help with the sanitation of the tools and a receptionist to take care of the schedulings. Looks like you handle it all, alone. Nice work!
Thank you so much :) Some offices have specific dental hygiene assistants to help the hygienists - but some offices do not, in which case, the dental assistant is busy assisting the dentist, not the hygienist. It just depends on the office! Hope this helps! Thank you!
That ultrasonic cleaner looks a lot like another machine that does the same thing for metal parts like gun parts . Supose to put in some cleaning chemical and water and vibrations clean it off .
ive always wished i could do this. i just dont know how or where to get started. i quit college 3 years ago because of depression/my major at the time stressed me too much. so now i just feel lost lol
I totally feel you on this and in sorry :( i hope you are better now. Have u ever thought abiut going back :) taking some ore req courses and then trying to see if you could get in the program bets of luck and if not f it we'll figure something else out.
@@VanessaGarcia-kg4wo thank you for your kind words ♥ I actually have great news, i'm back in school! doing exactly what you're saying- im taking pre req courses :) lets see if i get into the dental hygiene program next year! I'm really excited. I think doing something i really look forward to definitely helps with the depression. (my previous majors were things i didnt enjoy or look forward to at all) much appreciated♥
I am currently doing a co-op as a highschool student at my dental office and I really like your video. You have showed a lot that I have observed in my co-op currently!👍🏼

Abby Miller I am interested to take my prerequisites as well to get into the clinical part of it for two years. Do you mind telling me what classes are you taking for prerequisites.
Thank you so much💜

@@ninastoddard5397 OK baby can we talk
I was stuck between going to school to become a Crime Scene Investigator and a Dental Hygienist! But I’m graduating senior year in a couple months and going to college to become a dental hygienist! WISH ME LUCK😁🌟
Alyana Beltejar good luck 💕💕
sending all the positive vibes :) you are entering an amazing career!
Both fields will be great! I’m a big true crime buff.
Yo I’ve just graduated as well, you have any regrets?
Ronald Wanja I just now started college for dental hygiene! Currently have 6 classes this semester! Super stressful! If dental hygiene isn’t really what I want to be after getting the degree I’ll probably head over to real estate
After struggling to remove calculus from my teeth for years I finally pushed myself and went to the dentist.Years of bad breath and snidey comments from people literally blown away by a hygienist who removed the calculus within 30 mins. Why didn't I go sooner ? No longer to I have to hold back in social situations...my teeth have been set free...
Originally I was going to school to become a RDH but got pressured to pursue a different career route. Now I’m going back to become an RDH. I always knew I wanted to be one. This is a nice reminder. Thank you!
I've always been interested in the dental hygienist career but I was always scared to pursue it because I heard it's hard to get a job as a dental hygienist. Sometimes I come back to these videos and think if I should just go for it.
I'm sure it depends on the location where you live! But, if you love it, you can do it!!!!
There’s also the national health service corps that offers to pay back some loans if you work in an area of need
Where did u hear that? Did u check job listings?
Great video, thanks for showing everyone what we go through. It's so funny how people literally have no clue, as an RDH for 11 years now, I still love it very much, but it is definitely A LOT! I only work about 2 days a week nowadays. Anyway, keep making videos, you rock!
thank you for watching! and for your kind words!
Can you elaborate on how it's "a lot"? I'm considering leaving nursing & going back to school to be a dental hygienist but am hesistant..
@@TheTVqueen hi there. Sure, I can elaborate, but first, I'm so happy you're considering it. A good friend of mine was an RDH for idk, maybe 18 or 19 years and she went back to school to become an RN and she enjoys being able to do both, but her primary is nursing at the hospital. Anyway, Hygiene put me in a place where some already slightly damaged cervical and lumbar areas of the spine from when I was in the Army, became more damaged. Pain is no fun, and it can put a major damper on work and everything surrounding it. Posture is everything as a RDH so my back was making life hard. In my case, I've always had large breasts and my shoulders just moved more and more forward to accomodate the weight of those over the years, creating a major problem. Also, I'm left handed and dental hygiene caters to the majority, which is not me. Some other cons are time, sometimes you feel rushed to see all of your patients; therefore you find yourself trying to accommodate the patient and save time by losing the most ergonomic position and just working in the position that will save the most time. The redundancy of the daily routine also gets a lot of hygienists. Listen, although I have introduced you to some of the cons, there are many, many pros out there so maybe go in and shadow a hygienist and see how you like it. The field would love to have you 😉
i am a kid trying to learn that a dental hygienist does nd this really helps me nd encourages me to become a dental hygienist! ❤
here's my RDH video checklist if you want to learn even more :)

I clicked on this video because I want to be a dental hygienist when I grow up!! :p
YAY! Sending you positive vibes! Thank you for watching!
Same here wish you luck let’s hope we both can achieve our goals!
I know this was a year ago, but I’m very interested in dental hygiene and I wanted to know how hard it was to learn the software for patients and stuff like that.

Do you have body pain from being a hygienist?
would you consider making a video on how you manage body aches/pains in back, shoulders wrists?
Totally a video on my to do list! Thank you!
Carla Robinson I am a dental hygienist in Quebec Canada and Ohh yes we do get neck and back pain!
I have recently sparked interest of becoming a dental hygienist bc of my wisdom teeth pain it’s made me so interested in the way our mouth affects other areas of our bodies
I’m graduating in May, can’t wait!!
Congrats!!! Sending you all the positive toothy vibes!!!
How many years I need to become DentistHygienist
Teeth Talk Girl update: passed all my exams officially graduated!!
tasneem tous took me 4 years. 2 years doing full time prerequisites and 2 years of the program.
What subjects do i need in order to become a dental hygienist?
I love my teeth cleaning twice a year!!!!
Thank you for showing that you clean between patients.
This was so great! I'm a dental assistant at a very high volume office and I'm starting hygiene school this Fall! I've been on a waiting list for years! Can't wait for my days to look like this♥️😁
This makes me so happy! You're going to be AWESOME! Keep spreading the toothy vibes!
Don't make less then 40 an hour ,when you get there. Still need to pass nationals

Loved this video. I think you’ve helped me finalize my decision on becoming a dental hygienist. Thank you so much. Your personality is great. Have a great week.
that makes me so happy! sending all the positive toothy vibes and wishing you the best on your journey!

I’m currently a nursing student and debating my career path so it’s cool to see what’s it might be like to be a dental hygienist!
Thank you so much for watching! Sending positive vibes your way!
What made you change your mind about nursing? If you don't mind me asking.
lrg Yeah no worries! Honestly, there’s a lot of potential reasons. I might stick with nursing as I just want to consider other possibilities. I went into the program with one of my best friends and she has since left the program; I also had some bad experience in the hospital and overall I just haven’t had time/don’t enjoy what I’m doing with my time while in the program. I have so much respect for the field and I know it’s in demand, but I guess I went into it blindly and while I want to help people and care for them, I don’t want to do it at the cost of my own well-being. Perhaps I will enjoy it eventually and feel happy as I know there’s so many different parts of nursing. Although, all things considered, I have always been a person who’s terrible with knowing what they want in life and despite it being my first year at uni I feel like this is my first time truly exploring possibilities for my future.
@@Rellchello thank you for the reply. I was in a similar dilemma in choosing a major (I'm going to stick with nursing ) but the way I see it as long as you get through the first rough years of nursing you can find a more chill position. Wishing you all the best in your educational journey!
lrg I’m glad that you were able to figure it out! And thank you! I know that if I do stick with nursing I’d want a more chill position as well haha. Best of luck with your schooling!
When I interned at my first dentist office I used to set the rooms up and clean instruments all day. Absolutely loved it
I loved doing that too! Keeping things organized and flowing is so satisfying to me!
I am a dentist in India...but watching u is like so blissful in eyes bcoz of d organised work u do
I cant believe you do so much for a hygienist! But it definitely is great to get a hygienist that has been an assistant before because some hygienists don't help out whatsoever. But you are great at what you do!
i was just thinking same thing, as an assistant ive never seen a hygienist do changover themselves, let alone set up steri room etc
I just got my teeth clean it feels sooo good to see and feel that tartar come off
Guuuys I can't decide between nursing school and dental hygiene school🙄😂😭
If you're able to shadow - that helped me a lot in deciding!!!
Im an LVN and Ive been one for 5 years. I'm looking to switch careers and DH is one of them. Nursing is too stressful for me.
I'm a DH & considered nursing for more hours, more position options, more growth opportunities & more benefits. Shadow both if you can. Talk to many people in the DH field. Good luck.
@@violetodell7545 Exactly!
Just keep in mind....repetition, lack of benefits, hanging your face in someone else's face for 8 hours to mention a few others. However the daily pay is good if you find enough days to fill. Good luck!
It's intresting to see hygiene standards in other countries. Thanks for the video!
Ive always wanted to be a dental hygienist, but i feel like id be too stupid for the classes, fail them, and end up with a huge debt.
@em ! lol thank you
I needed that
There’s something so comforting about routines !
agreed!
Place is humongous, looks like a house.
It's probably a house they converted into an office. I've seen some like that before.
I wish we were in the same same office you have such more possibilities I wish I had the same possibilities too and can bee a dentist hygienist too
You mentioned that you were a dental assistant before you became a hygienist, How old were you when you went back to school if you don’t mind me asking
Hey there! No worries! So, I actually went to DH school immediately after getting my bachelors degree in Biology. So, I was 22 when I started DH school. I worked as a dental assistant during DH school. Hope this helps!
Teeth Talk Girl Do you recommend going that route, From Dental assistant to Dental hygienist? Instead of just going into dental hygiene at first.
@@TeethTalk omg so young, I am 31 currently doing my prerequisites for DH school. I went to DA school but never worked as a DA just got my license in Radiology but never used it. I feel so old starting the process.
S Fort Same here girl! I’ll be 31 this month and still taking my prerequisites. Nothing to be ashamed of. It is never too late to follow our dreams 😊 (at least that’s what I keep telling to myself :P)
Do you guys have kids?
This was so helpful, I’ve been questioning whether I want to become a Dental Hygienist because I’m scared I’m going to regret my choice (I’m really indecisive)
Thank you for watching! Sending positive toothy vibes your way!
I’m currently interested in dental hygienist and I wanted to check out whatever you guys doing in the video. It was interesting and cool! Thank you for the video!
thank you for watching!
Hey! Thank you for letting me watch a day in your job:) truly interesting and inviting.
I wish you keep going and have a big success all the time!!!
Thank you so much for this kind comment! Sending positive vibes your way!
It’s the sound you make when the water bottle falls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are funny 😆 love all your videos 💕😘
Omg girl, I'm a dental therapist and hygienist in the UK and I couldn't function throughout my day without a nurse! You're a machine
How did you come a dental hygienist ? I’m planning on becoming one
What a nice office! Hygienist from Ontario Canada ❤
Nick Buksa a dental hygienist from Ontario over here too! Hi 👋🏻
Thank you for the kind comment!!!
that joke that you said make me laugh so hard I like your videos !!
Ha! Thank you SO much for your kind comments, always, Fatima!
I am a big fan of yours Teeth Talk Girl you are 100% amazing and you always make me feel happy and you make my day always
As someone who wants to be a dental hygienist after I graduate next year this video was really helpful of what my future will possibly look like!!
I’m a dental assistant, & I am fascinated by your channel.
Thank you so much for saying that! For real! Positive vibes!
2:30 Whitney's Dory moment. "So pretty"
ha ha ha yes! BUBBLES :)
I wish the dental hygienist at my office helped out as much as you did! With there only being 2 dental assistants it can be hard to catch up with sterile. I’d like to bring it to her attention but she always gets so defensive. Anywho, great content!! 💓
Thanks for a great video, I’m a dental nurse in the UK 🇬🇧 & hygienists in this country always have a nurse to do the cleaning/surgery setting up/instruments so it’s strange to see you do it all yourself but go you! 🙌🏻😃 ☺️ It’s mainly due to chaperoning as it used to be like that in the old days...no nurse in surgery x
That is so interesting! Greeting to the UK! Thank you for commenting :) Positive vibes!
At first i thought the office was a really nice cute apartment omg , i love it ❤️
Ha ha ha yes! Truly! We always joke if we can just move in!
Your channel was suggested to me and I wanted to say "very nicely done". That pretty much sums up the daily life of a dental hygienist. I too was an assistant for almost 15 yrs and a hygienist for another 20 and still counting. I Love my job but mostly my patients. I am supporting your channel with a thumbs up.👍
I'm looking into a career change and have been heavily considering dental hygienist as an option. May I ask, how did you decide that it was what you wanted to do?
Thank you SO much for the kind comment. I appreciate that more than you know. Sending you positive vibes!
I want to become a dental hygienist after high school which I’m graduating next week! So this video is really helpful, thank you !
yay! wishing you the best on your toothy journey!
wow, this video popped up in my recommendations. i just started school to become a dental hygienist! i feel like this was a sign to keep pushing because i was getting discouraged 🙁
Sending all the positive toothy vibes your way!!!
Love this video! What scrubs are you wearing? They are so beautiful on you!
Thank you so much!!! They are White Cross Scrubs! I have a coupon code on allheart.com for 15% off = 33312THTKGL (399 NAVY JOGGER PANT, WHITE CROSS FIT)
Wow you’re so accurate. Honestly I haven’t seen that level of care and accuracy in my country ever! And it’s Switzerland..l like the phones and keyboards are not covered with something or I don’t think they get wiped.
This is my dream job, I love your videos by the way!
thank you for watching and wishing you the best!!!
this is exactly the kind of video i was looking to watch about dental hygienists. good job girl
That office looks nice. I hope I get to work in an office like that once I finish my class and take the exam
Your videos have really helped me out. Today I had my first check up in ten years and tomorrow I’m seeing the hygienist. I’m very lucky there was a cancellation! Thank you for the comfort.
thank you for commenting this! so happy to hear that. sending positive toothy vibes your way :)

Well this gives me an idea of how my dental hygienist's Day run on a regular basis. This will be an interesting topic next time I go to the dentist I can mention to her that I saw your video. I like my hygienist she's very conversational.
That's so great! Thank you for watching :)
hi!! Just came across this because I’m a high school student and I think this would be a great career for me!! I love how u are working by yourself in a way and the pay is pretty darn good for the amount of schooling required!! Thx so much for posting this!!
Thank you for watching! I have a video specific for HS students if you're interested :) Hope this helps: th-cam.com/video/_sMOhUgOXK4/w-d-xo.html
Good job and I think yours all Patients are happy with your service
That is my goal! Thank you for watching!
Came in to get a cleaning for the first time in years because fears of my last visit at my previous dentist. The were very calming and assured me I would be fine. Left with a great experience and a clean mouth!
I am so happy to hear that! Positive vibes, my friend!
Your office is so pretty
We love it! Thank you for the kind comment :)
It amazes me that you have to do all the prep yourself. I have a dental nurse/assistant to do all the set up, assisting and clean down between patients and at the end of the day.
Aw, yeah! Some offices have a dental hygiene assistant, some don't! Sending positive vibes :)
I do it one office and don't in another...don't mind if I have time but I will not work all day without a break. Hour lunch...it is repetitive but all patients are different.
HYG 30 yrs. Worked in one office 20 plus yrs. I love having hyg asst. Plus office isn't paying me for doing tasks while I could be seeing an extra patient vs cleaning rooms and setting up.
I saw a suction funnel...surprisingly yall still have those in such a modern office.
Do have progress note templetes?
Peace love and teeth 😊😊
This makes me so excited because I recently ranked into dental hygiene and officially start the program this summer !!! 😭😭😭💞💞💞
Congrats!!!! SO excited for you to join the RDH life :)
Idk why watching a day in the life of [insert healthcare worker title here] makes me feel so cozy for some reason. You guys seem like you enjoy your work.
Would love to visit such a dentist. 😜
sam mas chill out pervert
Sam mas,same dude!
Ohh completely awesome, i wish i had a hygienist like you in my clinic, beautiful smile with a therapeutic voice it heals. Thank you for being with us😍 love you.. stay happy.. good luck..
Thank you for your kind comment!!! Sending positive vibes your way!
Your dental office looks identical to my moms but it’s different so funny haha
I’ve been looking for a vid about life as a hygienist for a while and this is really well put! I’ve been thinking about enrolling as a hygienist for a while now.
Thank you so much for saying that! Sending you positive energy and wishing you the best DH journey!
Once my day starts, it goes non stop till the end too.
Mangenist 👌🏻
HYGIENE PROUD! :)
Amazing!!! Here in Brazil, I use to go to a clinic that a dentist perform cleaning routine, every six months. The funny part is that she has an assistant to help with the
sanitation of the tools and a receptionist to take care of the schedulings. Looks like you handle it all, alone. Nice work!
Hello!!! So happy to have you watching from Brazil! Some offices here have dental hygiene assistants and some don't! Thank you again! Stay well :)
It’s me deciding on becoming a nurse or a dental hygienist
What did you decide. I'm in my 2nd semester of nursing school
Why did I enjoy this so much 😂
My sister is a dental hygienist. I'm watching to learn more about her job.
You're a great sister
@@alaarezq5056 Aww thanks!
@@BeingBetter welcomee💕💕
I'm applying for the dental hygiene program at my school, for the third time. I've been a dental assisting for 8 years now.
Did you made it in this time?
I loved this video! Are there Dental Assistants at your office? I thought they were the ones who set up the trays and break down the room.
Thank you so much :) Some offices have specific dental hygiene assistants to help the hygienists - but some offices do not, in which case, the dental assistant is busy assisting the dentist, not the hygienist. It just depends on the office! Hope this helps! Thank you!
You’re voice is so relaxing 😩
That ultrasonic cleaner looks a lot like another machine that does the same thing for metal parts like gun parts . Supose to put in some cleaning chemical and water and vibrations clean it off .
Luck does not exist!!!!You are blessed!!
Great video! What an amazing office x
Thank you so much for the kind comment!!!
You have given me the green light to pursue this career
ive always wished i could do this. i just dont know how or where to get started. i quit college 3 years ago because of depression/my major at the time stressed me too much. so now i just feel lost lol
I totally feel you on this and in sorry :( i hope you are better now. Have u ever thought abiut going back :) taking some ore req courses and then trying to see if you could get in the program bets of luck and if not f it we'll figure something else out.
@@VanessaGarcia-kg4wo thank you for your kind words ♥ I actually have great news, i'm back in school! doing exactly what you're saying- im taking pre req courses :) lets see if i get into the dental hygiene program next year! I'm really excited. I think doing something i really look forward to definitely helps with the depression. (my previous majors were things i didnt enjoy or look forward to at all)
much appreciated♥
I'm student odontology , i like !
omg this just made me so excited to become a hygienist ! im currently on my second year of college but i haven’t gotten to the ‘ology parts yet lol
Yay! So excited for you! Sending positive toothy vibes your way!
