I start my externship tomorrow as a dental assistant. It’s very exciting but also nerve wrecking being in the real world and working on REAL patients lol. This video has helped me a lot I’m taking notes right now so that I can be as prepared as I need to be for tomorrow. I’m subscribed and will be recommending your videos to more of my classmates also. Thanks again ! It’s going to help me loads. I’m hoping to get hired ! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Candice McManaway it’s going really great actually I feel like I’ve been here for a month already. Everyone is easy going and so helpful. I know this isn’t always the case for all offices but I was truly blessed to get this office. Really nice people. I’m a fast learner also so everything is just coming to me naturally as it was taught to me in school. Don’t be nervous or let the pressure get to you. Just relax and remain confident even if you aren’t that excelled or proficient in a certain area just be willing to learn and willing to help others around you.
This is insanely helpful! I’m in a dental assistant program and the surfaces are hard to understand from a 2D perspective and I’ve yet to have someone explain with a model the surfaces, all making sense now. THANK YOU!
I was so discouraged at my on the job training that I thought about quitting. I cried the other day because I felt stupid, like I wasn’t getting it. Your video REALLY helped me (more than my trainer has) and you explain things really well. Thank you. I decided to keep trying :)
i am also new as an assistant and yesterday i worked with a substitute dentist for the first time and she was so sweet and she gave me tips and today i worked with the regular dentist who is a perfectionist with demands and did not do anything right in her eyes i have cried because of that and wanted to stop. she doesn't want to assist with me anymore... it also depends on the dentist how understanding they are.
i went through the same thing my trainer didnt help me that much but the other das at my office did good luck on ur journey and dont feel afraid to speak up
I've been debating on taking the course for dental assisting. I'm pretty hesitant since I'm worried I won't like the job, but your video was very helpful and gives me a insight on what I'll be dealing with.
@@iraqilover91 don't really care who it's for but if you have any legitimate reasons why I shouldn't do it or challenges that I might not be overcome please let me know
Im happy that I found your channel. Im still considering going toward this career, so this was so helpful and I will continue to watch your videos.Thank you.
No wait time, very efficient, pleasant and professional staff. They were very thorough in all steps of my dental visit and explained everything to me in simple to understand terms and pointed out things that other dentists never have - this office goes above and beyond in your visit to make sure teeth health is the best it can be and also offered great suggestions to me on how to maintain. Thank you!
This is very interesting for me, I haven’t decided on a school yet because I’m thinking bout going to a trade school for dental Assisting but this is so excited & I can’t wait to start
Im a high school student trying to figure out what i should do, this is an amazing video great to know what im getting into ❤❤❤also youre beautiful and very good at teaching
Hi thanks so much for sharing this ,I have a little suggestion,would you mind putting subtitle on especially when you introduce those equipment?it would be easier to understand and learn for those native language isn’t English, thanks so much again ! Xx
Hey, I’m interested in this field of work. Also, do you plan on staying as a dental assistant or eventually work up the ranks? (E.g dental hygienist, dentist). Thank you!
You are backwards when pointing out the numbering of the lower teeth. You also forgot to mention the incisal edge (occlusal surface is only for posterior teeth).
I was recently offered a job as a trainee dental nurse with full training given on the job. I’m excited and nervous about it. In the future I can get my diploma while Im working. How long is college in the US for a dental nursing programme?
If I wanted to become a dental assistant would I just walk in a dental office and ask if they are hiring? In my state you don't have to go to school in order to become a dental assistant.
Really? That’s awesome! I personally would print up a lot of resumes and drop them off at offices. While you are there though ask for a manager so you can ask if they’re hiring or when they might be!
I just got a job in a dental office in gatesville Texas what advice do you have for me this will be my first time working in a dental office since I graduate from college
Where do you work by chance? Your cassettes look EXACTLY like the ones we use in our office. I work for peak dental services you don’t have to tell the specific office but it’d be cool if we work with the same company!
I know you aren't a dentist but do you think someone should get impacted wisdom teeth out even if they don't hurt? I just turned 25 and have 2 impacted upper Wisdom's in my sinus cavity
I just started as a dental assistant today. It was very hard as I wasn’t trained correctly and was thrown on the spot today to assist for the dentist. I’m being trained on the job it’s very difficult being new in this industry
I just started my first week of on the job training as a dental assistant also. Same situation as you. How is it going for you 2wks in? I feel like I can't do anything right.
Ashley Fortier I started back in mid April with absolutely no experience & am finally starting to feel very confident! It is very very difficult I agree but it definitely gets better. Everyone would tell me when I started that the more I chair side assist, the more I’ll learn which is hard to hear when you are a nervous wreck like me but it’s 100% true. Dental assisting I’ve learned is very repetitive! Hang in there because it gets so much better & you will do great.
@@anastasiasantiago8385 Thank you so much!! You are so right!!! I am finally catching on a bit. I am a nervous wreck also, my hands are finally starting to steady and I nolonger fear stabbing someone's gag reflex while excavating . Thank you for your kind words of encouragement!!! Good luck and happy to hear you are doing well. I wish you great success for your future.
Yes you are right I am a trainee.Luckily I got to shadow for a week and I still remember the first time I did.I was sooooo scared and nervous.It will be like that for a week but you get used to it.Don't worry!I have been working for 8 months now.
Adult Teeth - 1 - 32 Kid Teeth - A - T Surfaces of teeth Labial- front of anterior teeth Lingual- towards tongue Incisal - sharp cutting edge of anterior teeth Bucccal -towards cheek Distal - towards the back of the mouth Mesial - towards the front of the mouth Occlusal- biting surface
Ms. Monge Valenzuela Mesial is the surface of the tooth that is closest to the midline of the mouth, which is the vertical line that divides the mouth in half. Distal is the surface of the tooth that is the furthest away from the midline of the mouth. It is hard to explain without visuals, so my advice would be to look at diagrams, this helps a lot when preparing for your boards.
Another way to help remember the teeth numbers is they go in a "box" or "square" when you are counting them. like 8 9 24 25 or 1 16 17 32 and so on. That helps me. Your videos about this stuff really helps me. I am on externship and these definitely help break it down and make things easier.
I’m so glad I came across your comment! I am just starting as a Dental Assistant and the tooth numbers always take me a second to think about what it is. Visualizing it as a box as you said is so helpful!
great video concepts...when you have the time would you also do a video on procedure steps & assisting tips ..like the basic crown prep ,filling and extraction assisting procedure steps & tips .
I’m currently on externship and in my opinion I find the experience on the field much more understandable than what I was taught in class lol but it makes things so much easier if you just keep in mind that premolars are 4,5,12,13,20,21,28,29 if you know those knowing the teeth numbers makes it so much easier!! Love reviewing this!! Thanks so much!!
hey lady, how is it going? what state are you in, and hope you love Dental Assistant ING, I have been in the field for 17 yrs, and I love it. best wishes to you.
Hi and I halt working as a DA in 2000 due to be becoming a caregiver for my mom. Did it for almost 20 years and I liked it. Unfortunately, most of the offices I worked at was horrible with jealousy, no team work and politics. My favorite was Endodontic, so maybe you can do a video on that. Enjoy watching to review just in case I want to return to the field. Wish the had that needle protector back in my days. Keep up the good work.
Since I started thinking about DS program I start watching your videos. It’s make me more excited and love the program. This video is very helpful. Thank you so much. God bless you
Thanks heaps for this! Going for an interview tomorrow, have absolutely no medical training nor the experience in this stuff. Hopefully I can blow them away if I watch at least a couple of your videos! Haha
This was very helpful! I just started a new dental assisting job a month ago with zero experience or school and I’m doing great so far and love it but the surfaces is the most confusing thing to me still! If you have any other tips on learning them please let me know!!
I'll be starting with no experience in a week or so, do you have any advice or tips? would you mind telling me what you did your first day and what you do in your down time since you don't have the experience? congrats on your job!!
Omg being a dental assistant is my dream career!!! I been trying to go to school for the past 3 years but haven’t been able to go due to not being able to afford it just yet 😭 but watching this motivates me more and to not give up😭🙏❤️
Sarah R I am not a DA just yet but idk I think it’s just a stable job it is interesting you can grow so much from it and I just think it just a career for me and thats what I want todo in the future hopefully soon I have tried doing different stuff just experimenting on other careers and I just can’t let go of DA... Is For me
LINGUAL. The surface that faces the tongue. Lower teeth are named LINGUAL and upper teeth are named PALATINAL. FACIAL SIDE. *LABIAL (anterior teeth) *BUCCAL (posterior teeth). OCCLUSAL. The chewing surface of posterior teeth. INCISAL. The biting edge of an anterior tooth I'm a Dentist learning English :D I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU FOR MAKE IT EASY.
Cheyenne, thank you for the wonderful video. I’ve recommended you to many! May I request you show each procedure and what is anticipated/needed by the dentist next in step by step process. Also setting up for each procedure including temp crown prep, perm crown placement setups, restorative composite for different tooth surfaces. Step by step on what to hand the dentist next.
Jess Rodriguez in Canada and most countries we label them based on the quad starting at the midline. So in the US the front tooth to the right (they call number 8 we would call a 11. The tooth beside that going toward the back of the mont would be a 12. For example, a wisdom tooth in the lower right is a 48 because it is the 8th tooth in the 4th quadrant. A premolar on the lower left would be a 5 because is it the 5th tooth in the 3rd quadrant. Which makes a lot more sense once you get into things like tooth surfaces. As far as I’m concerned it’s a lot easier to figure out where the medial of a 11 is than an 8. (This is from the perspective of a dental receptionist - been i t he field over a decade). :)
Kirsten B oh okay thanks for explaining it! I’m starting dental assistant school in February and currently live in the states but might move later on somewhere else, maybe even Canada, so I was curios ☺️
Thank you. This is the first of many videos I'll be watching on the quest to becoming an assistant. I didn't go to school for this, so I need all of the help that I can get. Currently partaking in on the job training after a year of being a care coordinator. I've done a lot of things as a healthcare professional, and am excited to get on to the next chapter. If I had known about the benefits to working in dental versus medical I would've avoided hospital settings and went straight to dental. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with the world. Hoping to return to work day by day, surprising my peers by knowing things they wouldn't expect for me to know. I appreciate you! 🖤
Whoa! You do tooth numbers differently! We divide it into 4 quadrants and start counting from the mid-line, not from the wisdom tooth. So, looking into the patients’s mouth... •upper left: 11-18 •upper right 21-28 •bottom right 31-38 •bottom left 41-48
yanet I just finished a 7 month DA program and there was a lot of material to understand, I don’t think the 12 week program would prepare you for the field since it’s such a short amount of time. Also, most 12 week programs aren’t accredited so look into that as well. You will enjoy the field !🦷✨💉
I did a 6 month program and felt as though I didn’t really learn much. It was a lot of book work and barely any lab. Most people who did the few week program actually learned at a clinic. They seemed to know way more than I did because I feel that you won’t learn unless you’re actually in the hot seat. That was just my experience though
I did a 3 month program, 11 weeks total. I think that the more school u get, the more u have on ur resume. But always get some hours in a actual dental office as much as u can. But it is true, u dont get as much inside knowledge in a shorter program. Studying doesn't end for me xD
I did an 11 month dental assistant course at my local Technical school. At first my thought was what could they teach us about teeth in 11 months, seems like a long time for teeth. Boy was I in for it. Teeth are a part of it. It's all things that can be done to make teeth better for the patient. Take the time to get educated in the field. It's eye opening.
Hi, I'm about to start dental assistant program and I really wanna know the basics subjects that a dental assistance need to learn in their career. Thank youuu!
I am currently studying to become a dental assistant, but I haven’t had any practice at a dental clinic yet. I feel nervous because theres so much to learn, but hopefully I will get lots of practice and pass the exams. ❤️🙏🏼 Thank you for the video!
I’m fifteen and have started training for dental assisting and they started me with cleaning the rooms and handing equipment but they never taught me the teeth numbers. Thanks for the help!
Hey I'm studying right now dental assisting in college and I have the textbook and workbook, we just learned about tooth surfaces and numbers( also how to count them correctly) if you want I can send you pictures of it, so you can start becoming more advanced in your knowledge (: you'll be a much more valuable team member and will be likely to get trained to do more tasks, and if you decide to in the future you can become an RDA! If you wanna see that chapter I just told you about I have insta I can send them through there (: good luck with your training and hope you get lots more duties and tasks!! 🙌🏼🤍
Yes and the molars! Anterior teeth don't have a biting surface (Occlusal). Also Bicuspids and Premolars are the same thing, just a different name. Bicuspid just refers to the number of cusps (Two) and premolar is just before the molars.
@@yasminvilla8481 it took me a little while to get the hang of it! I was an Emt before. So it was a huge change in pace. I was the only assistant since we are such a small office. It’s a fun job to have even if it’s a stepping stone in your career. I took some time at home to review tooth numbers and tools your doctor needs for procedures. The biggest tip I can give you is when setting up for your procedures take pictures of your table so you remember. That helped me catch on so much faster. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. My dentist is amazing and taught me so much. With having no experience it is so easy to get flustered and frustrated but just remind yourself you’re brand new. Give it 3 months of constant routines- dentistry is repetitive depending on your specialty. But it is a very fun and rewarding job!
Hi, I’ll be applying for a 13 week dental assistant program? Will this help me get a career in this field? I plan on taking an EFDA course after also? This place I found also offers a fluoride application and coronal polishing course and a Nitrous Oxide Administration course! If anybody has thoughts, let me know! I’m using quizlet to prepare myself and watching lots of videos on here! I’m totally new to all of this. I’m currently a project manager for fire restoration, so complete career change and I just not sure how to get my foot in the door :)
Hi Cheyenne. I'm having to put off school until middle of 2021 due to sick family member. But I was wondering if you could recommend a good dental assisting student book so I can be studying with all this extra time. Thank you very much.
Tell me please. number 1 is a wisdom on the maxilla, right side. Ok. But what is the number if a patient has 2 wisdoms on that side? Maybe. Number 0 or number -1.
Just finished my DA program and I’m starting my externship Monday! Your videos are very helpful and informative.
ZaMya Bradley was ur class hard
I start my externship tomorrow as a dental assistant. It’s very exciting but also nerve wrecking being in the real world and working on REAL patients lol.

This has been really helpful. 👍🏼 i hope you can make a video about assisting BONE GRAFT procedure and instruments.
You have helped me SOOOOO much thank You! keep posting
Thank you for the video and hope you can film more video for assisting
The tooth numbering is different from here in Canada , the molar is the number 8 here in Canada
Thank you for sharing
I find the way we number teeth in Australia so much less confusing!
With Distal if away from the midline and mesial is towards the midline
Your videos are so helpful!!

How about also PALATINAL ? On upper jaw, is palatinal, not lingual.
Your the BEST thanks!!

😂 same! I used to work as a DCC, but performed a lot of tasks that a CNA would do. I thought about getting my CNA but decided on dental instead 😊
What job is paying more for you
I’m currently on externship and in my opinion I find the experience on the field much more understandable than what I was taught in class lol but it makes things so much easier if you just keep in mind that premolars are 4,5,12,13,20,21,28,29 if you know those knowing the teeth numbers makes it so much easier!!

Tnx I just started I’m counting my tooth so easier
im not in dental assisting school, but I learned a lot. I actually remember most of it! it's actually easy so far.. lol!! 😊

Since I started thinking about DS program I start watching your videos. It’s make me more excited and love the program. This video is very helpful. Thank you so much. God bless you
Im halfway done with my classes and your video's are great for review and I actually learn from them ❤ Thank you!
Thanks heaps for this! Going for an interview tomorrow, have absolutely no medical training nor the experience in this stuff. Hopefully I can blow them away if I watch at least a couple of your videos! Haha
How did it go ? I going to an interview as well ☹️✌️
Great video!
Can you make a video on tips and tricks on how to properly use the matrix band and also how to mix ketac cement for permanent crowns?
This was very helpful! I just started a new dental assisting job a month ago with zero experience or school and I’m doing great so far and love it but the surfaces is the most confusing thing to me still! If you have any other tips on learning them please let me know!!
I'll be starting with no experience in a week or so, do you have any advice or tips? would you mind telling me what you did your first day and what you do in your down time since you don't have the experience? congrats on your job!!
@@megggy89 how was your experience?
Omg being a dental assistant is my dream career!!!
I been trying to go to school for the past 3 years but haven’t been able to go due to not being able to afford it just yet 😭 but watching this motivates me more and to not give up😭🙏❤️
You can do it!! 😄
Awww thank you so much and keep it coming with the dental videos girl!!😍♥️
Estefany Salgado It is? Can I ask why? I’ve been curious about getting into this career also. Is it a good job?
Sarah R I am not a DA just yet but idk I think it’s just a stable job it is interesting you can grow so much from it and I just think it just a career for me and thats what I want todo in the future hopefully soon I have tried doing different stuff just experimenting on other careers and I just can’t let go of DA... Is For me
LINGUAL. The surface that faces the tongue.
Lower teeth are named LINGUAL and upper teeth are named PALATINAL.
FACIAL SIDE.
*LABIAL (anterior teeth)
*BUCCAL (posterior teeth).
OCCLUSAL. The chewing surface of posterior teeth.
INCISAL. The biting edge of an anterior tooth
I'm a Dentist learning English :D I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU FOR MAKE IT EASY.
I’m interviewing today for this position, no exp! I’m intimidated!!
Cheyenne, thank you for the wonderful video. I’ve recommended you to many! May I request you show each procedure and what is anticipated/needed by the dentist next in step by step process. Also setting up for each procedure including temp crown prep, perm crown placement setups, restorative composite for different tooth surfaces. Step by step on what to hand the dentist next.
WHYYYY does USA number their teeth different to every other country
Michelle Banning how do they do it in other countries?
Jess Rodriguez in Canada and most countries we label them based on the quad starting at the midline. So in the US the front tooth to the right (they call number 8 we would call a 11. The tooth beside that going toward the back of the mont would be a 12. For example, a wisdom tooth in the lower right is a 48 because it is the 8th tooth in the 4th quadrant. A premolar on the lower left would be a 5 because is it the 5th tooth in the 3rd quadrant. Which makes a lot more sense once you get into things like tooth surfaces. As far as I’m concerned it’s a lot easier to figure out where the medial of a 11 is than an 8. (This is from the perspective of a dental receptionist - been i t he field over a decade). :)
Kirsten B oh okay thanks for explaining it! I’m starting dental assistant school in February and currently live in the states but might move later on somewhere else, maybe even Canada, so I was curios ☺️
Cory Stone thank you!! Good luck, I’m sure you’ll do great! 😄
Could you please please please do a few videos on procedure setups, charting, x-rays, etc
Thank you. This is the first of many videos I'll be watching on the quest to becoming an assistant. I didn't go to school for this, so I need all of the help that I can get. Currently partaking in on the job training after a year of being a care coordinator. I've done a lot of things as a healthcare professional, and am excited to get on to the next chapter. If I had known about the benefits to working in dental versus medical I would've avoided hospital settings and went straight to dental. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with the world. Hoping to return to work day by day, surprising my peers by knowing things they wouldn't expect for me to know. I appreciate you! 🖤
You didn’t mention Buffalo or incisal surfaces.
Whoa! You do tooth numbers differently! We divide it into 4 quadrants and start counting from the mid-line, not from the wisdom tooth. So, looking into the patients’s mouth...
•upper left: 11-18
•upper right 21-28
•bottom right 31-38
•bottom left 41-48
How do you feel about 12 week programs vs the 9 months plus programs?
yanet I just finished a 7 month DA program and there was a lot of material to understand, I don’t think the 12 week program would prepare you for the field since it’s such a short amount of time. Also, most 12 week programs aren’t accredited so look into that as well. You will enjoy the field !🦷✨💉
Kharisa Keonaa thank you so much for your feedback. Greatly appreciated, god bless and good luck on your new journey
I did a 6 month program and felt as though I didn’t really learn much. It was a lot of book work and barely any lab. Most people who did the few week program actually learned at a clinic. They seemed to know way more than I did because I feel that you won’t learn unless you’re actually in the hot seat. That was just my experience though
I did a 3 month program, 11 weeks total. I think that the more school u get, the more u have on ur resume. But always get some hours in a actual dental office as much as u can. But it is true, u dont get as much inside knowledge in a shorter program. Studying doesn't end for me xD
I did an 11 month dental assistant course at my local Technical school. At first my thought was what could they teach us about teeth in 11 months, seems like a long time for teeth. Boy was I in for it. Teeth are a part of it. It's all things that can be done to make teeth better for the patient. Take the time to get educated in the field. It's eye opening.
Hi, I'm about to start dental assistant program and I really wanna know the basics subjects that a dental assistance need to learn in their career. Thank youuu!
I am currently studying to become a dental assistant, but I haven’t had any practice at a dental clinic yet. I feel nervous because theres so much to learn, but hopefully I will get lots of practice and pass the exams. ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you for the video!
I’m fifteen and have started training for dental assisting and they started me with cleaning the rooms and handing equipment but they never taught me the teeth numbers. Thanks for the help!
Did you get to wear gloves and hold the suction
@@noahlester5993 yes that’s my main purpose
Hey I'm studying right now dental assisting in college and I have the textbook and workbook, we just learned about tooth surfaces and numbers( also how to count them correctly) if you want I can send you pictures of it, so you can start becoming more advanced in your knowledge (: you'll be a much more valuable team member and will be likely to get trained to do more tasks, and if you decide to in the future you can become an RDA! If you wanna see that chapter I just told you about I have insta I can send them through there (: good luck with your training and hope you get lots more duties and tasks!! 🙌🏼🤍
@@jessicarobles312 hi I just started school as a dental assistant. Can you pls help me with those pictures if you still have them
My first day of dental assisting school is tomorrow!!!
Awesome!! Good luck! 😄
@@CheyenneBuckalew am I right that the occlusal is referring to the 3 bicuspids and 2 premolars
Yes and the molars! Anterior teeth don't have a biting surface (Occlusal). Also Bicuspids and Premolars are the same thing, just a different name. Bicuspid just refers to the number of cusps (Two) and premolar is just before the molars.
Thank you very helpful. now I just need to figure out what to say to get a traineeship
Kelsey Marling how’s it going for you???
I was hired with no experience as an assistant and your videos have helped me so so much!
Congrats! How is your job going as a dental assistant? Today is my first day with no experience
@@yasminvilla8481 it took me a little while to get the hang of it! I was an Emt before. So it was a huge change in pace. I was the only assistant since we are such a small office. It’s a fun job to have even if it’s a stepping stone in your career. I took some time at home to review tooth numbers and tools your doctor needs for procedures. The biggest tip I can give you is when setting up for your procedures take pictures of your table so you remember. That helped me catch on so much faster. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. My dentist is amazing and taught me so much. With having no experience it is so easy to get flustered and frustrated but just remind yourself you’re brand new. Give it 3 months of constant routines- dentistry is repetitive depending on your specialty. But it is a very fun and rewarding job!
This video was so helpful, I will definitely be re-watching a couple times to make sure I got it!
I don't like to take out teeth
Hi, I’ll be applying for a 13 week dental assistant program? Will this help me get a career in this field? I plan on taking an EFDA course after also? This place I found also offers a fluoride application and coronal polishing course and a Nitrous Oxide Administration course!
If anybody has thoughts, let me know!
I’m using quizlet to prepare myself and watching lots of videos on here! I’m totally new to all of this. I’m currently a project manager for fire restoration, so complete career change and I just not sure how to get my foot in the door :)
I'm so excited to start my journey next month!
Seeing that all this information is only on the first day of classes, I am terrified! :(
Hi Cheyenne. I'm having to put off school until middle of 2021 due to sick family member. But I was wondering if you could recommend a good dental assisting student book so I can be studying with all this extra time. Thank you very much.
Tell me please. number 1 is a wisdom on the maxilla, right side. Ok. But what is the number if a patient has 2 wisdoms on that side?
Maybe. Number 0 or number -1.
