As a student dental hygienist with no dental experience whatsoever, this was great to watch! Thank you!!

[simplyshanna]

I think I chose this major is because I love how you work with yourself. Besides the dentist, you’re kind of your own boss. You work you schedule without people having to tell you what to do. It’s a very independent position and I love it. This video was cool

I've been a Dental Hygienist for 7 years, and this video is pretty accurate to what I do. She works in a nicer office. Some offices are older, and the rooms are smaller, and there's no TV, and no window.

as a student (almost licensed!) with 0 experience, it's really comforting to know that our routines in clinic are basically the same as a practicing hygienist. minus the part where you see a lot more patients in one day. It just makes it less intimidating knowing I am being prepared correctly. Thank you!!

I’m currently a dental assistant wanting to become a hygienist, this makes me so excited to do it one day! :)

[Babii]

This just makes me even more excited to become a dental hygienist. I’m starting a two month trade school for dental assistant then more schooling for dental Hygiene🤗💕but that office is gorgeous 😩

[BreakdaHouseDwnBootz]

She does 80% more tasks than any other hygienist in my office. !!!😍😍

[giamariefisher]

I thought the sterilization room was a kitchen and she was turning on the coffee pot or something hahahaha

Really appreciate your videos. My daughter is in college doing her core classes until she figures out what direction to go into. I have told her maybe become a dental assistant first to get the feel of working in a dental office. Then finish school for dental hygienist. I'm a mental health nurse and I work long hours, overnight, holidays and mandated many times. I don't want my daughter to live a life that requires to much time away from her to enjoying life and family.

completely unrelated... but your voice is so therapeutic!!! 😂

I just finished school for Dental Assistant I want to go back in a few years for hygienist I love this video!

I just came across this channel. I'm a dental hygienist in Michigan. I graduated from the local college in 1985. Have been with the same dentist for 34 yrs, he is 90 and going good. He is down to 3 days a week. It's a super old office and many patients are as old as the doctor, he is working on 5th generation patients. I'll probably retire in about a year. When I think how much I'll miss those people I get sentimental. I wish I had modern equipment like you. Very nice office. When I first hired in I was told the first thing you do is punch in, the second thing you di is start the coffee pot. Then continue. Ha ha

I’m a freshman, and I’m trying to decide what I want to do in the future. I have two options at the moment, either be an EPIK teacher (English Program In Korea), or a dental hygienist. This was a very informative video on how the life of a dental hygienist is. Thank you!

Originally I was going to school to become a RDH but got pressured to pursue a different career route. Now I’m going back to become an RDH. I always knew I wanted to be one. This is a nice reminder. Thank you!

[abbymiller]

I’m so happy I found this channel! I’ve been a dental assistant for 4 years and I’m currently taking pre-requisites for hygiene school. Thanks for the video!

[zefluff]

Can I just say this pumps me up even more for hygiene school? Coming from a longtime dental assistant, I really appreciate that you help get your office ready in the morning. My hygienist is the same way and I love that we all get along and help each other like you all do. You're showing a lot of potential hygienists not only how to be efficient and precise, but to act as part of a team. 👍 Btw, what brand are those scrubs? They look super comfy! Edit: Oop. Found them in the comments. My bad!

[ebonyrdh]

Great video, thanks for showing everyone what we go through. It's so funny how people literally have no clue, as an RDH for 11 years now, I still love it very much, but it is definitely A LOT! I only work about 2 days a week nowadays. Anyway, keep making videos, you rock!

I have recently sparked interest of becoming a dental hygienist bc of my wisdom teeth pain it’s made me so interested in the way our mouth affects other areas of our bodies

I miss those pre covid days... what a nightmare now!
