Dental Terminology (How To Understand Your Dentist)

It can be super confusing trying to understand what your dentist or dental hygienist is saying during your appointment. Some patients say it sounds like we are speaking in code! By using specific dental vocabulary - it helps dental professionals to more accurately communicate exactly what they see in your mouth. This video gives you tips and tricks on how to decipher this descriptive dental vocabulary/jargon/language :)

This literally just covered 6 months of my life . Why does hygiene school make this so much more difficult than it needs to be?!!!

[babylonanderson]

As a pre-dental student I truly appreciate this!

Just started hygiene school this summer and we haven’t covered this yet, and it made it so much easier to decipher the textbook!! I would love one about x-rays! I take that in the fall

I became a DA during Covid without any schooling. Everything I know so far I have learned through working. I know some of the lingo but since I didn’t go to dental assisting school I don’t know all of the terminology. I found your channel recently and your videos have been so helpful.

This is quite enjoyable. It was indeed helpful especially to those that were new in the system.
How I wish Dr. A.C Fones is still alive, he would've awarded you " the best dental hygienist of the 21st century".
Proud of you ma'am.👍👍👍

I am becoming a dental assistant and I’m already on week 5/12 and watching this and quizzing myself before you say it helps me remember them all!! Thank you

[andrewwillows]

Brilliant, really well explained without loads of waffle! I finally have some idea what they're talking about.

As a recent graduate of Dental Assisting (once we're able to finish internship hours) this was an awesome refresher.

I'm starting Dental Hygiene school next week and I've been binge watching most of your videos since last year when I got excepted in the program. Thank you for making these videos and your positive energy :)

Thank you so much for this informative & educational tutorial! I've been wanting to understand basic dental terminology for a long time and actually had already learned some of the content prior to watching this video, but I wasn't familiar with all of it. Now I can remember it better! Thanks again!

This was freaking enjoyable to watch. So
Educational. I pray I get in my hygiene program next year. I apply in February!! I’m currently an assistant and I’m learning a lot, but I desire to be a hygienist so much.

[kaitbutters]

This was so helpful. Just started dental hygiene school and there is a lot of information thrown at you right away. Your videos are the best!

[jhstylewon]

I started working at a dental clinic and this helped me a lot! Not as a dental assistant but in billing.

I recently entered the dental field as a Treatment plann coordinator and this has help a ton. ATM I have been shadowing my OM but this has really made it more relatable. Thanks

[zeinabahmad]

Omg this was so helpful! I’m starting the Dental hygiene program this summer!! I will definitely keep watching your videos.

I have ALWAYS found the Universal Numbering System to be more confusing. So thankful that we use the FDI two-digit notation here in Canada 🇨🇦
