Everything you want to know about a dental hygienist. 

I'm finally a Dental Hygienist! Just passed the NBDHE yesterday!

By God’s grace I will be accepted into DH program in 2021🙌🏾

I hate that colleges force you to take prereqs. I can't concentrate too well in school and I get super anxious thinking about how long it'll take. Like why can't we just go straight into the mayor we choose. Ugh.

im about to go into my senior year of high school and really looking into being a DH and thank you for answering all these questions, i feel like ik more of wha to expect and youre a good role model:)

Dental hygienist is the career i want! I think I’m not smart enough but when i watch your videos they motivate me and i know i can do it love your videos!

I start DA school tomorrow and then it’s prerequisites for DH school! You make me so excited for school thank you so much ♥️

I’m interested in becoming a dental hygienist but I have bad social anxiety 😕

More dental vids! They keep me motivated😀

This sounds stressful 😭😭😭 I have one more year of high school and I'm trying to decide what I want to do but I have no idea what I want in life it's so much pressure

A new hygiene video, yay! You should do a video on tips on keeping teeth white or a video on the best electric toothbrushes.

I’ve been going through the MOST of struggles lately with trying to get everything ready for this final semester in school, working, bills, dental hygiene career planning, family, and friends and balancing everything. Your videos, 🍯, give me SO much life. You’re like a Celebrity. Just to know that someone like you have been through the struggles or similar and still came out on top of everything and shedding your bright light on everyone like you. Thank you so much boo for all your inspirational videos, your talks, and your tea ☕️ sipping 😂❤️🙏🏾 Bless you girl! Wishing you the best here in Arizona !

the dental hygiene queen we didn’t know we needed 😂💓 the perfect Q&A before my first semester, thanks for the motivation and helping me prepare girl 😇

Guurrrrl! Thank you SO much for these type of videos. I don’t think I will ever get tired of watching you talk about your career/dental hygiene. You’re such an inspiration ❤️🦷

Why are men asking you if they can work as a dental hygeneist? Of course they can duh. 😄

I'm in my last year of nursing school. I watch all your DH videos. Your videos are so inspiring. They keep me motivated to push thru my final year. I also live for your vlogs lol. I love you so much, from a fellow Haitian.❤

I start my prerequisites in January. You've made me so excited for college with your videos💕

Love your videos! I'm working on my prerequisites right now for DH. I've been reading a lot of negative reviews online, and it has kind of scared me. It's nice knowing that there are people out there that actually love DH, and have good advice!

i’m currently in my first semester of prerequisites and chemistry trying to kick my ass but i can do this lol i’m excited to get through this i love your videos they keep me motivated ♥️

Just started my second semester as a Dental Hygiene major. I was feeling discouraged that it's going to take me close to 4 years but hearing you say the same made me feel so much better. I love your videos! You are giving me so much confidence! P.S. you are GORGEOUS

I’ve watched all your videos within 2 days and you’ve inspired me so much and helped me believe that anything is possible as long as you work hard for it.❤️

Thanks for this Q&A video, very helpful. In pt.2 will you be talking about any physical pain problems that arise from working in dental hygiene? I'm interested in the career but nervous about that aspect. :( thanks!!

I am over halfway through the program right now and I am currently on summer break. I am hoping and praying I can make it through because it seriously is no joke!! May 2020 can't come fast enough🙏🤞 I love watching your hygiene videos because it helps me think positive!

i love your honesty!!! i just separated from the military & will be enrolling into college for dental hygiene. you mentioned a lot i wasn’t aware of, that is so appreciated!!

I just finished my bachelors degree in biology and now im going to go into dental hygiene school!

I start hygiene school in a couple of weeks!! You’ve been a huge inspiration for me! ❤️ Love your channel!

I’m in school to become a dental assistant & I have a part time job & everything she is saying is so true💯💯

my dream is to be like you 😭 big on youtube & doing school behind the camera❤️ KEEP GOING GIRL YOU GOT THIS ! ❤️❤️❤️ LOVE THESE VIDEOS 😩😩

Tajah you are gorgeous! Can we get a skin care routine? I need your glow

I loooooove your long talks about dental hygiene ❤️❤️❤️

I like your channel but have a little input from one hygienist to another. I have been a hygienist for 20 yrs and find it to be malpractice to give a patient only 30 min of attention. I have found that things have changed drastically over the years. It has gone from being patient oriented to patient pushing. Corporations have taken over and those days of getting to know and love your patients have changed to trying to just push them through. Something gets lost and the patient and hygienist pay the price. If you find a good doctor to work for who is truly ethical, you stay loyal to them. I still love what I do but am looking forward to retirement. God bless you and much success to your channel.

How long did take for you to get comfortable once you were actually working as a hygienist?

So true about the challenges in DH school! There were days first semester I'd come home and cry myself to sleep. Second semester & beyond, I would wonder why I was paying for the torture. But after going thru that and practicing to the point where my body is practically falling apart, I know that I can get thru medical school.

Omg that hair is gorgeous on you Tajah!! Great video btw you really inspired me to want to be a dental hygienist ❤️

your videos keep me motivated ❤️❤️, love that you’re so passionate about your career

Dude if a C is failing im screwed

I am also in the dental field since 2012, honestly truth! It’s repetitive, your field is a business “ Drs require you to sell treatment to make them their paychecks”... Working for cooperative can actually either break you. It has become more of a business than medical. Example: Are you happy with your smile? Instead of asking are you hurting? Long term neck and back pains. To me the worst thing is an elderly patient with a lot of medical complications being talked into cosmetic work, bridges, implants, crowns, ect.... When in reality a lot of medications are the cause to oral complications. Hygiene is not about just cleanings. Your required to demonstrate treatment, give oral advice, sell treatment, and troubleshoot a lot of patient charts. We always fall at fault for most it. Good luck ladies hope this helps you. They pay is great just a lot of headaches

I start DH school in August! I love your videos

Im in high school and Im tryna become a dental hygienist ASAP🤩, but the thing is that later in life I wanna become a dentist so that I can support a family and myself😩. Id rather be this crazy and plan my whole life out rn than wait til last min and not have any idea of what to do😌.

You are sooooo pretty , I just changed my major from Radiology to Dental Hygiene.. you helped me so much. I have 1 class next semester for pre req intro to dental hygienist , hopefully will be accepted into DH program in 2021

I’m currently studying to become a certified dental assistant and then right after high school hopefully I get accepted into a DH program for the college I want !

Thank you for your videos. I’m doing my prerequisites for dental Hygiene and all your videos are so helpful. Thank you!

Is it hard to find a job after school?

Thank you so much for answering my questions! ♥️ Sorry for the multiple questions but I had to lol

Me 14 watching this going to early college for two years then attending Campbell University to become a dental hygienist 👁👄👁

-The school you went to; did they train you to work as a DA too and do you think that a DH can be hired as a DA? - Did you start as a DA or did you start as a DH? - How much experience do you need to be hired as a DH? -How many days are you working those twelve hour shifts?

Thanks for sharing your voice. My daughter wants to be a dental hygienist. She is completing her second year of community college- major is health science- and will apply to dental hygiene program after that. I sent your video to her. Thank you

Do you think that getting a Master's in Dental Hygiene could increase your salary? Your hygiene videos are great!

Am I losing it or is the "Is the pay good" question teased in the thumbnail totally not included??

Love the video!! Were you a full time or part time student when you were taking your prerequisites?

How much was the dental hygiene program? If you don’t mind me asking. Also, did you work while in the dental hygiene program? And if you didn’t, how did you pay for your bills?

girl thank you , you helped me so much and i feel so prepared now

☺️☺️☺️I’m a senior, I live in North Carolina and want to be a dental hygienist and I wanna to go to school In Wilmington, where did you go??

Hey girl! Question: I am not good at math and never saw chemistry in my life. I did graduate as a clinical psychologist in Ecuador. Should i try to become a DH?

so glad I found your channel ! 😭❤️

I am thinking about becoming a DH! I'm so scared and nervous about choosing a job and this one seems almost perfect for my personality and skills. I am so scared 😭 I really need some guidance y'all

Which dental hygiene school did you go to? I am asking it because I am in NC too lol

Thank you so much for this video Taj! I notice that your nails are always looking fabulous! Are there any rules on having nails while working in the dental field ?

Good video! I like hearing other hygienists experiences!

I am a RU-vid myself and I’m very curious on what camera do you use for your videos

We love you girl 🥰🥰 love the positive energy

Ayooo the haitian music at the beginning captured me lol love to see haitians in the field!

watching this stresses me out so much im scared ti start dental hygiene school

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I love your channel! I finally just started my own channel about dental hygiene school :)

Im excited to attend school for this! Confidence right! Thanks yo!

Heyyy so I’m starting my first year of community college this fall to be a dental hygienists and I have a quick question... Can dental hygienists work on children??

Really loving your videos on DH. May I ask how you made money while in school?

Loved all the info you gave but I just gotta show love to that watch! What kind of watch is it?

Thank you so much you give me some much information. For college

Once you said North Carolina I clicked subscribe so fast 😂

I just subscribed! I have decided to make a career change to become a dental hygienist and I love your vibe/realness and all your information.

Thinking about going back to school for DH fingers crossed 🤞

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am currently a hygiene student and you motivate me to keep my head up and that I am gonna make it. Thanks again.

So can you be a dental hygienist and go straight to dental school to be a dentist? Because I heard you couldn’t

So I have a biomed degree already but am interested in DH. Do I have to get an associates or can I just apply for a DH program. Also, are all DH programs at colleges or are there also accredited programs that are not in a college setting

Applying to the DH program in January! Wish my luck

I'm in DH school right now, and I just had a really bad semester that is discouraging me a little. Any advice with board review books and other resources you use besides your textbooks for classes?

Yeah I subscribed soon as I seen the Haitian flag in the intro lol, keep going! Stay blessed 🙏🏾

I have the most random ass question ever. I have sweaty palms. Is that going to be a problem?

Sorry, if you say this in the video. But, I live in NC too and I was wondering what school you went to?

I have an offer to play soccer at a community college with a dental hygiene program, do you think I’d be able to balance it with clinics?

Nutrition is the class that ruined my 4.0! Glad I’m not the only one who struggled with it 😂

Such a beautiful dental hygienist. 😍 question do you recommend getting a bachelors or associates in dental hygiene ???

why are dental offices sexist towards male hygienists?

We have the same study in the netherlands but you can do more as a dental hygienist and the program is 4 years

Can being a dental assistant first kinda helps in being a Dental Hygienist!!?
