Depending on the dental office you work in, but utility gloves are usually meant for handling sharps and sharp instruments in sterilization. Not for cleaning an operatory room.
Students are taught that the hospital grade disinfectant can letch through your gloves. Basiclly breaking down your gloves. And we know that stuff is carcinogenic.
I worked the job for 21 1/2 yrs, and we NEVER USED PPE! Gloves & a mask? Yup! PPE? No! THAT'S going way TOO far in my opinion! We are doing daily dental treatments, NOT a full surgical operation!
Hi there. Students have to learn the "textbook" way of doing things. Individual dental practices may choose to do things differently, but we have to reflect the gold standard in our SIMTICS training materials, which are using by hundreds of schools and colleges around the USA.
simtics I am a dentist and that comment made by the 21 year old vet is why I refuse to ever hire another person with that many years of ‘experience’. They think they know everything and aren’t willing to change from doing things the old way. And they expect you to pay them a lot of money while they bring down the morale of the whole staff. The older docs don’t challenge them but for the younger ones, we never let these people step a foot into our practices. Thank you for putting out good information!!
@@humilis42 The person that made that statement has obviously gone overboard, but your statement is a very broad statement. Refusing to hire someone with years of experience? That's crazy. We bring a lot to the table and there are a lot of us who have "merged" the old with the new. "NEW doesn't always mean better. An open mind would be the best thing you could offer your patients and staff. Unfortuneatly, patient skills, compasion and life experiences that shape our personalities into the caring assistants that we are, can NOT be taught. I feel sorry for all that you've missed out by hiring only "new" assistants. I've been blessed by working with Dentists who appreciate and trust my knowledge and aren't "know it alls". A lot of dentists fall into that category too and treat their assistants as only "spit suckers". Just a few thoughts from a skilled and "older" assistant.
@@Thatfazekid You and I will never agree. There is an ongoing battle right now between docs and dental assistants. Many of you all are motivated by money. Furthermore, you all are not the producers in the office. We pay you, therefore, you follow our rules. You don’t step into a person’s office and tell them how they should run their practice when you don’t pay the bills. We are not concerned with how you did such and such at the office you used to work at and stop talking about us amongst yourselves. WE PAY YOU to work, not to complain. If you are unhappy, look for another job and stop poisoning the minds of the people around you who are happy and content 🙄 Yes, I am venting because seasoned auxiliary staff are not easy to work with because you want to see things being done your way or no way. It makes absolutely no sense to me. And by the way, we ARE know it alls. We’ve assisted our fellow classmates throughout our program. This isn’t about ego, it’s about being trained to know every aspect of running a practice. That includes assisting doctors. So we understand what your job entails.
@@humilis42 God have mercy for the assistants working for this “dentist”!! Dental assistants run the office! I know by fact that some dentist don’t even know how to do certain things.
