If I do my BS in public health or BS in dental hygiene in Pakistan,which Bachlors program would be better for getting admission in accredited dental hygiene 2 year program in USA???
Hi Whitney would you ever make a video about sore lymph nodes. I have what seems like a blocked parotid gland. Eating food will randomly give a sharp shooting pain. I get random flare ups since I was 10-12. No answers from dentists. 😔It’s been over ten years and it won’t go away
Hey Whitney!! You recommended some of the best whitening toothpastes before, but what abt mouthwash? Ik you did a lot of videos talking about mouthwash, but i would like to know about whitening mouthwashes specifically- sorry for the off topic comment. Thank you !
Are you still doing dental hygiene now that you have 3 billion subscribers and video views? 😅 I’m a dental hygienist. I would have stopped if I had that many views on my videos.
Nope! I graduated with my Bachelors in Dental Hygiene and have worked in a pediatric office then switched to a general dental office. It’s just preference where you want to work!
Hi Whitney! I just wanted to let you know that your videos are awesome. You inspired me to go back to school and become a RDH. I’m now almost finished with my prerequisites and applying for the program this winter!
Honestly, when I was most apprehensive about DH, your vids made me feel a lot better about pursuing Hygiene as a career. I’m now in DH school going for my associates and it doesn’t even feel real
Thank you so much! This video was very informative. I am currently taking prerequisite classes for the dental hygiene program at a local community college. I already work in the healthcare field as a phlebotomist, and I love it, but I want to continue my education and give dental hygiene a try.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: do you recommend me getting a public health degree at my community college before going to a program just in case the program doesn't work out and I'm left with nothing ?
From my experience, a PH bachelor's degree is very limited with job options. I worked in a community health worker role at a hospital and half of my coworkers did not have a college degree. I have also seen people in manager roles without a bachelor however those individuals either have been in the company for a long time or had various leadership roles. I enjoy PH so I am doing my PH Master's in the meantime I finish my pre-reqs for hygiene.
It's a hard decision for me, I've been considering this for a while now. I'm currently a full time dental assistant, so if I do decide to go to dental hygiene school it'll be a full time long term commitment. No breaks in between semesters, I guess I'll feel burnout, stressed, overwhelmed. This is what's holding me back from pursuing it.
Ive been doing DA for 6 months now, I mean it's decent job but I don't feel like dealing with rude doctors like working chairside with them and little pay for so much duties. So im thinking about becoming a RDH but working is kinda holding me back too because im tryna move out but at the same time I dont want to be burnt out, might leave DA job and do security while I get my degree, idk , it's a lot of planning we gotta do lol.
I’m still quite young, but im around the age where I’m starting to think about career paths! Ever since I was 12 I have always wanted to be some sort of dentist, and these videos really help me to see what it’s all about 😊
Hi whitney, i am a senior in high school and extremely interested in becoming a dentist/dds but the debt is worrying me, is there a way i can help not stress about it and learn to pay it if i loan it?
If you take suggestions for videos, please make one comparing how different sugar free chewing gums affect the Ph of the mouth. I use Wrigley's extra but no litmus paper, thank you
@@TeethTalkhey I have a question how long does it take for tartar to reach heart which leads to heart disease I wanna know cuz i have a buildup of tartar and it’s scaring me
My situation is a very interesting one I think, I'm on my last semester to get my bachelor's in computer science with a focus on IT, but I'm sort of having doubts about the work culture of that industry. The intense, take-your-work-home-with-you style that exists in some companies really doesn't sit well with me because I want time for hobbies and learning more about my field, which may be very difficult in that environment. I'm considering applying to dental hygiene associate's programs if I find I don't like tech, how do you think they'd see a computer science degree? 😂
Thank you for this great video! So I’m 21 always wanted to become a dental hygienist but I’ve been discouraged since it’s seen as more of a female ran industry. Is there a lot of male RDH’s? I’m currently in a dental assistant program with a month left, so I’m looking into working as a RDA during hygiene school. I’m going for the Bachelors in Nursing with a AAS for Health Science then going into dental hygiene school. How does that sound?
males can be hygienists too! here's my video more about that: th-cam.com/video/KDihT51ObDU/w-d-xo.html hope this helps! wishing you the best toothy journey!
I am 30years and I have been Registered nurse in my home country (Asia) now I wish to become dental hygienist.. May I know how many years I have to study here in US?
Hi Whitney ! I wanted you to know that I m a foreign trained dentist and I m intrested in becoming a dental hygienist in United States could you guide me on that ?
trade schools aren't available for dental hygienists, however there are certificate programs for dental assisting that can be completed in under a year. hope this helps!
I asked my dental lady doing my cleaning if she got her dental hygiene degree and she said she is only a medical assistant. Is that normal? She told me doctor don't really hire dental hygienist anymore.

Hi

My community college doesn't offer an associates anymore.
mine didn't either -- but there should be a co-opt for the closest college near you that offers dental hygiene. look into co-ops! hope this helps!
Am I too old to start dental hygiene school? I am 42 and with my son starting college in the fall I want to pursue a career helping others.
never too old!! we had students of all ages in my class!!! you got this!!!
This is just for research for a character in the book I'm writing, but do you have to do anything more to be a pediatric hygienist?
Nope! I graduated with my Bachelors in Dental Hygiene and have worked in a pediatric office then switched to a general dental office. It’s just preference where you want to work!
Is 39 too old for this career? There's an accelerated program near me.
I don’t think you are too old. I’m 37 and thinking about going back to school. My dad was in his 50’s when he went back to school for nursing.
I’m in my second year, and It’s hard but i’m loving it!! 🤩 Definitely a rewarding career 😊
yesss!!! yay! you got this! will be so worth it :) def rewarding!
