I will be applying to a dental hygiene program and my area and I was wondering if you could inform on how your application process went...What was your program's application requirements and how did you stand with those requirements? (GPA, prior experience etc.)

What was the online program ???

@didilom564 8 дней назад

That's amazing to have that opinion. I got a Science degree and passed the dental hygiene entry exam, but l had to give up since the program was all in person 5 days a week and that would Stop me from working and got bills to pay . That's the problem with all these medical programs, since you don't make a lot 70-80 a year, they also want to keep you in depth so you don't work for the two years you are in school, then you end up still doing loans. I paid off my signs degree while I was in school because I was able to work and I have no student loans. I'm now planning on getting a bachelor's degree in business since I have my own company , but l really wanted dental hygiene because it is fun.

I'm on track to get my Associates after 5 years of college, even though it could only take "3-4 years", so to anyone else who's taking a little longer to get your degree, know that you're not alone!

@sarahx_louiise 5 месяцев назад

Hey, I’m interested in pursuing the same path you’re on! If you don’t mind, is there any advice you have for a highschool junior, such as an early start somehow? 😁

@benjaminhirsch4916 5 месяцев назад

@@sarahx_louiise Hi! I'm more into taking things slow schoolwise, but if I did want to get a head start during high school, then taking AP classes for General Ed would have helped me out. I also could have looked into dual enrollment with my local community college, or started my courses in the summer session after graduation, rather than waiting for the fall semester. Personally, I would have found these things overwhelming academically, but if you feel up for it, I think this would be a good place to start. Also, if your high school has counselors, asking them for some tips would be a good idea too. Hope this helps and good luck!

@Sheissogolden 3 года назад

Whitney I have a question I love your videos as always your the best. Do you have to have your Dental Hygiene Degree in order to be a dental therapist? Could you have your BS and also a RDH and then apply to be a dental therapist?

I came across your channel today actually because I have been trying to plan my route for my dental career. I want to become a dentist, but of course I want a well paying job to help me on the way to achieving that goal. So I have been looking into becoming a dental hygienist while I work my way up, but I am still unsure how I should approach this. Do you have any tips or routes you personally think I should take? Thank you for the video! :)

@@Tarhell4eva I had to apply to my program in January of 2020 to be admitted in August. I had several prerequisites that I had to complete or be enrolled in before I could apply. Some of those were anatomy, chemistry and a lab, composition 1 and 2, microbiology and a lab, communications, psychology, and sociology! Hope that helps! The school you are enrolled in should have something about their dental hygiene program on their website and should include info about what classes you need to take and the application process :)

@@Tarhell4eva also, I didn’t have any dental experience. It may help you out if you do though just with the material, but it won’t affect your chance of getting into the program. And I think I had to maintain a 3.0 and have C’s or higher in the prerequisites

@@sarahmontgomery6781 Thanks for your input! :) I've checked my requirements for the application but I don't feel confident that my grades are high enough to compete with other applicants. Our program is a point system just from co-requisite classes and I have averaged about a 3.3 GPA in those classes.

Hello! I have an unrelated bachelor’s degree and am thinking of becoming a dental hygienist. Do you think it makes more sense to get a masters or go back for associates? Would I need any prerequisites for associates or is that only for masters? I have no debt and would like to take out as minimal loans as possible.

hi friend! most RDH master programs require a dental hygiene license to apply (meaning you'd need to attend AS or BS in DH prior to applying)! always check the individual program's requirements but hope this helps!

@nidhib6309 3 года назад

Hey! First of all, thank you for making these videos, they're so helpful to people like me :) So I am a junior studying to get my Psychology Degree in a 4-year university. (this was bcs I love psychology). I was thinking about getting an associate's in dental hygiene after I graduate but my college advisor said I shouldn't bcs it's not right to go for an associate's degree after getting your bachelor's ("it is a step down" she said, mind you, she was a dental hygienist for 15 years before becoming an advisor). Since you did the same thing can you please share with me what was going on in your mind while making that decision? and was it worth it? literally, anything that helped you make this decision of becoming a hygienist? would you advise me to do the same or not?

@TeethTalk 3 года назад

sooo interesting!!! so, maybe it can depend on the location in which you attend school? but in my area - I had several students in DH school with me (an associates program) where we all already had our bachelors. also - once it's on your resume - I can only see the benefits of having two degrees & can't think of any negatives. but that's just my opinion! hope this helps! wishing you the best in whichever you choose!!!

@TeethTalk 3 года назад

ALSO I think it's great - if anyone asked why you chose DH after a bachelors in something else - you now have a good story as to finding your passion for DH!

Hi! I recently got interested in dental hygiene. I found a program that claims to be 18 months. The websites claim that it is a accredit and that you could obtain an associates degree in dental hygiene. Do you think this is a legitimate school? Most school I know are at least 24 months so I don’t know if this is a shady school or not. I really don’t know much and have tried to do as much research as I could 😅
