    1:48 - Becoming a dental assistant
    In this Vlog,
    I talk about my story of becoming a dental assistant WITHOUT going to dental assisting school! I will also cover other topics such as what DA’s do, the pay, my workplace (corporate vs. private office), work schedule and Ultimately if I think it’s worth it to become a dental assistant!
    This video is good for anyone looking to go into the dental field whether you are a pre-dental student, dental hygiene students, pre-hygiene, and even those looking to go into the dental assisting directly.
    If you have any questions, feel free to leave it in the comment section or message me on my insta ⬇️😊

    I'm a dentil assistant as well and my dentist and senior nurse trained me, I didn't have any experience and I'm sooo thankful they did because I love it and the dentist prefers teaching their ways!

    Wow amazing! I’m actually a Dental Hygiene Assistant for Great Expressions too. I had medical experience prior too which is how I got in! Since working at as a Hygienist Assistant I’ve been interested in becoming a Dental Hygienist. Thanks for the video!!

    Hii just found your video and you are so sweet and passionate! I also just got into dental hygiene school too and went through half a nursing program to find out that nursing was not for me. what made you decide to go in to RH and not become an RN?

    • @Toothbae
      @Toothbae  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      What is your ultimate career goal? (E.g. dentist, pharmacist, etc.) Knowing what you plan to do in the future will help out. Do you like pharmacy so far?

      omg go for it, I just got a job that’s willing to show me everything. I have zero experience, but I still got the job! just apply to many places, and you’ll get hired eventually.

    So I’m a current college student and I want to be a oral surgeon and my aunt is a dentist and encourages me to try to get a dental assistant job with no experience to get an idea of my future career so where do I start and how can I get hired somewhere to get the early experience?

      You can also call offices and just let them know your situation. Sometimes your own dental office will take you and atleast let you volunteer....

    Did you take the radiation safety certification or xray certification ?

    • @Toothbae
      @Toothbae  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello! No I didn’t take certification for x-rays. Although I was recommended too, at the office I worked at at the time, didn’t require it. But I also had several radiology courses and requirements in hygiene school that helped out tremendously. But I would definitely take certification, I would recommend it

    What’s was your schedule as a dental assistant while Going to school.

    • @Toothbae
      @Toothbae  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately I only worked like maybe 2-4 times a month. School was my priority at the time and taking 6-8 classes a semester for hygiene school, I found little time to work. But it could differ for everyone, I know a few of my classmates that were working a few times a week and managed just fine!
