I love how detailed your day is. I’d be scared to even record my patients even with permission cus ppl crazy lol
😂😂 it doesn’t hurt to ask! I love your videos. You inspired my content!! 💘🦷
all the dental hygienists I watch have such beautiful teeth 😭❤️❤️ ! i can’t wait until it’s my turn 😁😁
Hello. The most interesting part of this video was when you had to switch back and fourth between patients. That was real time and that was something that showed me how it might be sometimes. Another interesting part was you showing the x-ray of the patients teeth and gums and explaining them.
Fellow RDH here! You seem so calm and collected, even during the hustle and bustle!
Can't wait to watch more of your videos and get further inspo :) Also, I love that 3d scan of the teeth!
Great
Hey I actually learned new things in this video , can you give us one video out the week teaching us things in the dental field ( what materials are for , and how you use it ) so we know something’s before starting hygiene school
Sure!
Yes, I agree! Please make a video on this.
Love how detailed this video is. Dental hygiene in the US seems so chill. In Sweden we have 13-15 patients per day with 30/40 min each. Only half an hour lunch
🤯🤯🤯🤯
That sucks
Just found your channel and I am loving it! I’m also a dental hygienist 😁 Love your personality and how positive you are too 💜
How long did it take to become a dental hygienist
Most interesting was pt treatment how you explained and handled 2 pt, you are a rock star very knowledgeable and great customer service.Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you so much again ! This is what motivates me to keep going in the program and not feel discouraged, love seing what my future will be
Don't give up, I don't know you but I wish you well, proud you!! You got this!!!
I agree with you, Alexandea. I'm in my first year of Dental Hygiene program, and most of my days, I feel so overwhelmed and second guessing if I can make it through BUT seeing videos like this make me realize that I'm going through all this stress to be at the stage she is!
@@tamiawilliams7145 hi im thinking of doing dental hygiene in university could you tell me the pros and cons to studying it
New subscriber here 🙋♀️ and also a 2nd year dental hygiene student. I love your videos! 🥰
You’re almost out of thereee 🥳
I just came across your channel. I have never heard of gum recession so, that was some pretty interesting info. Loved this video!
Thank you for sharing your day. You really inspire me to pursue RDH, I teach DA and I love Hygiene. Thank you so much
so dope i just enrolled in dental hygiene school
New sub..... and inspiring dental hygienist, currently a dental assistant and this is very inspiring 🙌
Welcome!!!
I love how detailed you are with your day and patient treatments! How did you get so comfortable perio charting and treatment planning?
The doctor does all the treatment planning, although I know how, it is out of my scope of practice. As far as perio charting, that it taught IN DEPTH in school. I hated it then and I still hate it 😂 but it’s necessary to diagnose perio disease.
@@KaleshaMonet right I hate perio and dental charting but I know it’s a must😭😂
I found the part of the video where you talk about the patient treatment plan very interesting (the whole video, really). At the dentist office, I have always wondered how to read those screens that show the teeth all lined up.
Haha! Be sure to ask questions, we actually love a patient who acts interested! 😂😂
I like Danny 😂 4:55 Girl it look like you were stuffing sterile pads down her throat 😳 lol. That guy had better been understanding he was an hr and a half early lol. Great Video! Your such a lovely soul. ☺ Thank You!
Danny keeps me going😂😂
I was stuffing gauze in her upper a d lower cheeks to block her glands from secreting saliva..
Great video
I b so hot in my disposable jackets but I love them better than the regular. Love how u cut a slit for ur battery pack 💪🏾
The jacket actually comes that way!
I really need to get my teeth whitened. How long does the process usually take? Thank you for such an informative and helpful video! 😊
Kalesha where do you get your ear loop extender for your face mask? Loved the video! Murphy ‘s law in the dental office! You handled it all so well!
An etsy shop!
Cool clinic power to you sister
Great video. Do you work for aspen or a DSO? I’m only asking because of the high tech scanner and the fact you can hop back and forth. I just took a position at Aspen and I’m excited to be able to stay busy, while making money !!!
No ma’am, I do not work for either companies. We just get busy sometimes!
Hey! Great video. What software were you using at the end of the video when you were showing the pt. recession? I'm also a hygienist and would love to have some 3D software like that.

@@KaleshaMonet Thank you
Can you go over how to read/chart the restorations on xrays?
Sure!
I am so jealous of you American dental hygienists for being able to have your nails done. in UK dental nurses and dental hygienists we aren't allowed to have anything done to our nails at all.
Very nice
Good day. What about a licensed Dentist in Nigeria? How can such person be able to practice as a Dental Hygienist in UK???
Do you ever clean teeth with pumice or something prior to whitening treatment? I have experienced patients that have plaque around teeth when they come in for whitening even though they had their hygiene appointment a few days ago.
Yes, and if there’s some reoccurring supragingival tartar present in the smile line, I’ll remove it prior to whitening.
I am a British dental therapist and my main concern is that generalised bone loss on those rads. Here in the UK bone loss is our first priority and we would be pocket charting and dealing with the perio before placing crown and bridgework.
Patients are under general dentist & periodontist care, alternating every 3-4 months. Their perio conditioned is being maintained, therefore proceeding with restorative care is acceptable.
You are right. The generalized bone loss is due to the presence of overhang in fillings.
HEYYY NEW SUSCRIBER HERE❤️ I have a question, how many patients do you normally see a day?
Hey hey, happy to have you!! I usually see 7-8 adult patients a day.
❤️❤️❤️
Nice
My boy showed up with a bald head 😂
Why is there no lead apron used while taking x-rays?
Who cares.
no lead apron on patient when taking X-rays and then also the operator not leaving the room really confuses me.
It is impossible to leave the room when using a nomad and puts out very little radiation. I would definitely recommend you learn about the nomad so you’re a little less confused about practicing with it. You may come to love it.
As a dental hygienist, do you do the procedure for the teeth whitening or does the dentist?
I do!
TH-cam love you
What are the pros and cons of this profession I’m trying to figure out a good college major
Visit my ‘Dental Hygienius’ playlist & watch reasons you should/shouldn’t become a hygienist!
What do you tell patients who start out with dark teeth? Do you tell them they may need multiple treatments? How much is a treatment?
I try and make sure they have realistic expectations before beginning. One zoom tx is $599. I’ve never experienced a patient that wasn’t pleased with their results so no one has had to come back for multiple treatments. That price also includes custom trays so they whiten as often as they’d like.
@@KaleshaMonet It looks like you applied 3 separate bleach gels ......how long is the light process for each? And how much time do you book for the zoom treatment?
@@RG-hf4et There are four 15minute sessions. I apply apply a new layer of bleach each seesion for maximum results. We book 80-90minutes.
Do they make you stay there if you have a big gap between patients
I don’t have to since I’m paid by production.
Hi there,
Can you please explain to me about that machine you used to take the BW??😲
It’s a portable x-ray machine called a nomad! It is amazing!!!
@@KaleshaMonet oh ok.
I guess I'm concerned with radiation exposure for the operator.
Do you wear a dosimeter badge?
@@tcclarke7271 I do not but I have a coworker that does and she submits hers once a year and it stays below the preferred amount.
@@KaleshaMonet ok. Thank you for the info. Continue to keep safe and well 🙏🏿
How many patients do you typically see each day?
8
What subjects are required to be s dental hygienist?
mostly science
There is no sense crowning #2 with no occlusion. If he is planning on an implant on #31, then yes to the crown on #2.
Play mu please move to Georgia because I have a house for sale in my neighborhood

I would not be happy seeing an employee reading.
Maybe she's clocked out 🤷🏿♀️
@@tcclarke7271 15:48. She clearly states that she has another hour before lunch so I will read.
@@RG-hf4et oh ok. Thanks. I guess I missed that originally.
She was reading during her downtime. Relax
@@YADDIEBUCK Sorry. No employer pays employees to sit around & read personal stuff. There is so much work behind the scenes in a dental office it isn't funny. If you are all caught up and you get a last minute cancelation, be a team player and ask others if you can help doing anything- making a phone call, pulling charts, unpacking delivery boxes, etc....
Very nice
