I’m so proud of you!!! I love your vids because they’re so real. I am applying for the dental hygiene program this next spring and I know already it will be a struggle because I HAVE to have a job while I am in school (,: You give me hope that the dream is real!
Exactly what I needed to watch! 30 yo with 4 kiddos. Always wanted to be a dental assistant then eventually hygienist but I had begun a family after high school. Now it’s my turn to focus on my career. Wish me luck!!
I have made the decision to switch career field out of corporate HR and fulfilling my dream of being a RDH. I have the opportunity to begin dental assistant school within a few weeks if I choose so to get started quicker. I do know assisting is not my desire but what do you think of getting started with the program and completing some coursework first to help leverage me for a DH program? Or just complete the entire assisting program then move into DH?
Congrats on chasing your dreams!! If the DH program you want to get into doesn't look at previous DA experience, you're not gaining any leverage so research your options first to see if it makes sense. If assisting isn't your passion I don't see a point in doing any, let alone an entire programs worth of courses before going into DH. I have no DA experience and that's the case with the vast majority of my class.
@@_TinaWilliams thank you sooo much for responding! What you said makes so much sense. I have noticed here in my area in VA that most of the programs being offered are all for assistants so I am now on the hunt for other locations that actually have a hygienist program.
Great question. I think "challenging" is a perfect way to describe it. There are a lot of challenges in DH school, yes. But the thing about me is I never let a challenge stop me from doing something.
One girl I watched on RU-vid. Her program was $70K for an associates. But her program was an accelerated program it was 18 months. She said it included everything from start to finish though. Like uniforms equipments test fees everything
I’m glad I watched this video. I am 33 and I just applied to my local community college for Dental Hygiene. I’m excited for the journey but nervous. I’m a mom of 2 and I work full time overnight. So my concern is trying to balance it all without sacrificing how well I do in school. I truly know this is my dream career so I’m going for it. But you’re the first person I seen that starting this program in my age group
I didn’t get accepted the first time around. But fingers crossed I talked with one of the instructors of the program and she told me to reapply. We talked over the phone for about 30 minutes. She saw I had a B in chemistry and wants me to retake it because it counts towards getting into the program. Overall, I’ll be applying again in Spring 2025. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Congratulations on finally getting accepted I literally know how it feels because this program only allows 18 so I’m on edge 😂😂😂😂😂
So happy I found this page! I'm 34 and have been an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) for 3 yrs and have been finishing pre red's to apply for hygiene school...I wasted so many years thinking I was "too old" but you're never too old to follow your dreams! 🎉
My school says if i don't do reading and math assessment i won't have priority and it may affect me getting financial aid. I have never heard of anything like that, and I have a master's, a bachelor's, an AA and a vocational certicate already. I'm trying to skip as many prereqs as possible. I've done all of those classes. I don't want to do that stuff over again 😩
Bleach is just fine I use bleach in all my dishwater .congratulations on finishing this year out 🎉🎉🎉 getting paid to eat pizza is super cool I need to look into that👀
I’m not really passionate about anything and the things I’m passionate about don’t make any money so I don’t want to go to school for it. Dental hygiene is something I can tolerate. Should I still go to DH school ?
Great question. I wouldn't say I'm "passionate" about dental hygiene. I just can't lie to you. But what I _will_ say is that in the beginning I didn't know if I would ever feel "invested" in the career because I don't have that passion, but as time has gone on, things have changed. It's really wild to have a patient take my advice about how they can improve their oral health and when they come in and tell me about how it something I suggested helped them it really makes me feel good. And if I can leave work (school) feeling good? Well what's better than that? All that being said, if you don't like monotony/doing the same thing every single day over and over and over again, I don't think you should bother.
Hey Tina, I saw the videos on your channel. Your video content is excellent. To grow & increase the view of your channel you need to optimize your videos. SEO Score is very low. The title, Description, and Tags are not SEO-friendly. Videos are not shared on Social Media platforms and many other problems are found on your RU-vid Channel. If your channel is optimized a little and if the videos are SEO friendly then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. So immediately need SEO for your Videos & RU-vid channel. Do you want to improve those problems and grow your RU-vid Channel?
GIRL tell me why she bought the BEST donuts, Bogarts?! They have the cold press donut that I showed in a vlog...but she did it right she got all the ones even the big nutella filled ones. It was so cool 😂and ty for the congrats 😇

Those wings looked delicious the smacking did it for me I know they were good 🤤Lmaoo not me thinking u pissed yourself 😂😂weird looking ass orange juice 🤣🤣
sams gives us a plate with a piece of foil to take the pizza to go 😂 u get a whole little cute box . Questions: .what made you choose dental ? .tell us more about your airline career. .do you feel better about the purchase of the car? .what are your hobbies? .how is your garden doing ? Love the videos keep them coming hope these questions help
Due to personal circumstances my choice of schools is extremely limited, but I checked through a bunch and those “extra requirements” can be ridiculous! Every school revealed a new unique request, such as CPR training or annual flu shots.
Let me find out you a hygiene baddie finishing a patient every week in your first year☺️ Oh you tired of the manikin huh friend?!😂 she said give me a live patient neeeeeow!
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Look at how far you have come…….. GOD IS SO GOOD! You did that and you went through so much and it didn’t stop you ! I love you and you’re one step closer to being an amazing Dental Hygienist! I’m so excited and proud of you ..!!!! Look at you go !!!!!!!! So proud of you TINA!!!! 🙏🏾
Thank you for this informative video. I’m currently debating on doing dental assisting first then dental hygienist. I’m currently in Florida and plan on moving to Minnesota which was ironic to me. I’m just worried about things not transferring in Florida to Minnesota.
