Speaking as a dental hygienist in her 30s who has a master’s degree in dental hygiene. If I had to do it all over again I would not . The return on investment is not comparable. I went to a private university. I loved being a clinical dental hygienist and wished I stopped at just my associates degree. Do not buy into the hype that more education is better. I think the younger generation is catching on but that’s my two cents.😘

@TeethTalk 4 года назад

Totally a great comment! Thank you for sharing this! Sending positive toothy vibes your way :)

@roslyhernandez319 4 года назад

Yea I’m not passing an associates it’s not going to make me any more money

@InnerRise 4 года назад

Same. Stopping at associates. I know I don't want to teach. And the last time i wanna research is in this dental hygiene program for class assignments. You hear me. Other than that, I see no benefit other then personal satisfaction and accomplishment. I also already have a bachelor's degree so I've already proven to myself whatever I needed to. Dont know what that was since it was a waste of money which is why I've gone back to do hygiene but not making that mistake again.

@keiraontiveros2806 4 года назад

so you get paid the same with a masters as well?

From your fav Periodontist (LOL!) who speaks Italian, great video. I agree that the environment can make a big difference! Some environments (offices and teams) are simply better than others. When you own a dental practice/business, you must create an awesome work environment and also hire the right team! A lot more but you get the idea. Keep up the great work!

One option to add to your list: Quality Assurance for a group or Dental HMO. I found it very rewarding - including such activities as research and peer review and accreditation.

Hey. I was wondering if you could do a “what I eat in day video” vlog in which you go into the details and share recipes of what you eat to maintain your pearly whites, prevent staining and to keep things interesting, in terms of what you eat; without too many damaging foods to the teeth yet that is still importantly satiating and nutritious. Thanks 😊

@dariaharruff7025 Год назад

@virss8860 Год назад

If I wanted to advance into a general dentist after becoming a hygienist would the bachelors degree be better so I would only need to go to dental school to become a general dentist but still have the option of a hygienist.

@makoaquest7756 4 года назад

Thank you for your videos! I’m considering a career change into a more essential career such as this, during COVID. Would you say being a dental hygienist is “essential” and they’re still working full time? Thank you for your help!

@TeethTalk 4 года назад

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching! Great question...! It's super hard to say but overall - we were one of the first industries to open back up - however it was done on a state by state basis. A dentist is 100% essential because they were working the whole time for emergencies (as well as dental assistants). Hygienists are mostly back to working full-time due to the overflow of patients that were rescheduled during the shut down. Hope this helps.

Thank you! 💖💜💖

I really wish i did like being a dental hygienist. But i hate it. I wasted so much loan on study this. Now i study something else. It was always the same task all the time, and neck, and back hurts. I wish i loved it .....

@tardfarmstudio 2 года назад

May i ask, is it possible to still work while going to School the reason I ask is because I’m really interested in Pursuing this career field but I am a single Dad with rent and other bills to pay. Would it be impossible for me to do this? Thank you

@proper_noun436 4 года назад

Do orthodontists generally hire hygienists? Or do they mostly just let the general dentists' offices do the cleanings?

@asdfivy 4 года назад

i would like to know this too!

@TeethTalk 4 года назад

Great question! I think it just depends on the office! In my area - I don't know of any ortho offices with hygienists. However - it is not unheard of for an orthodontist to hire a hygienist! Totally something that is possible and cool! I'm sure there are cities where you'll find it common!!!

As someone who graduated from a 9 month dental assisting class with an RDA, would you recommend a dental hygienist as a position to move up in at a dental office? Thanks in advance

@TeethTalk 4 года назад

Hey there! Congrats on graduating! It's totally up to you! I feel that a dental assistant and a dental hygienist are two very different jobs! I've been both and I love both for different reasons! It really has to come from within - what you personally want! Sorry this was of no help! Dental hygiene jobs generally will pay more than dental assisting jobs however there's pros and cons to both, of course! Sending positive vibes your way! I'm all about doing what you love the most!

@ChariKat213 4 года назад

@@TeethTalk Thanks. I graduated in August of 2019 but struggled to find employment until February of this year which I actually got a job as a sterile processing technician in a hospital which I'm satisfied with. I still have dental assisting as an option but would someday like to be a radiology technician at my work and my hospital can pay for when I want to go back to school. I still have a hygienist as another option as well. I'm wanting to see if I can do all my general eds online sometime.

Is it weird for dental hygienists to wear the white coat? I saw you wear them in some of your videos and got curious! I get cold easily, so it’d be life changing, but I’m just not sure if the dentists would find it problematic

@TeethTalk 4 года назад

Great question! I'm sure it depends on the office! I actually only wear the white coat for my videos - I don't generally wear it during "real" work. I'm all about the overjackets! And now, I've also been wearing the disposable gown over everything so I've said goodbye to all "scrub fashion style" lol!
