I'm actually going to take my prerequisites this fall! I'm 23 years old and just now figuring out what i want to do. My wife is supporting me all the way and I have a 1 1/2 year old son, so it's going to be a challenge but I have gone out of my way to purchase used textbooks on dental hygiene and am working my way through them already! I know there aren't a ton of male dental hygienists, but that's not going to stop me!
I just got accepted into the dental hygiene program at my school! I’m super excited to get started🥳 your videos have given me so much information! Thank you!!
Hey Whitney , I have been practicing as an RDH since 1997. I love it , but every once in a while I feel burnt out. On the upside watching your videos inspires me quite often. Thank you for your awesome video content. You rock girl !!!
Your comment just made my day. Thank you. I'm so happy we can have this as a platform to raise one another up and have each other's back - so no hygienist feels alone! Thank you again. Truly ❤️
Just started watching your videos! I already have my bachelors in business finance and plan to now get my associates in dental hygiene. I guess I am doing it a little backwards! Glad I saw this video and now know that my degree won’t entirely go to waste
I'm in school now for dental hygiene and I'm so close to getting into my program but the pandemic happened.... and now...I just feel so discouraged. But your videos make me happy and I love your energy.
I’m in a similar place right now! I’m in the “pre-dental hygiene” program which is really just liberal arts while I wait to find out if I will get accepted into the Dental Hygiene program and it is sooo nerve wracking. Especially with COVID!
I just hope that Dental Hygiene doesn’t change it where you need a Bachelors degree like Nursing has changed that’s why I think I will eventually go and get my Bachelors just for right now I’m going to focus on getting into the Dental Hygiene Program and get my Associates
I believe associates will be my best route to take because I have dyslexia and I think I would be happy with what I can do! I’m ready to get out of the factory.. I’m ready to be a professional! I love you videos! Thank you for helping me explore this career!
I am currently a chemistry major in college and have been thinking about getting my associates in dental hygiene. I was a little unsure of the path I should take, but watching your videos has really directed me in my future! Thank you so much, your videos make such an impact! ❤️
Also a Bacc in Dental Hygiene works as a PreDental School Program if you might want to go on and become a Dentist. Just make sure you upgrade you science classes to the level of PreDental/Medical if they offer a simpler one for Hygiene Students.
Cool im a bio major too! It’s interesting that there’s a bachelors in dental hygiene. I guess that’s a route that pre-dental students could take before dental school, they’d just have to take dental school pre-reqs as electives
This video has been so very helpful. Your energy really gets me up and happy in the pandemic. I love dentistry and before you I had trouble finding UA-cam channels that give me the types of videos that I want like just explaining stuff for education and videos in the dental office. But I found you! And I’m am so grateful that I found you! You’re amazing! This video has helped me so much, you have no idea. You’ve really impacted my life. I don’t know what I would do without you! This has really helped! Your videos are so amazing and so are you! I love you and your videos so so much. Happyteeth! ✌🏻❤️🦷
OH my goodness, Sarah. Thank you so much for commenting these kind words. I appreciate you more than you know. I'm so happy we can share this platform to raise each other up! Sending positive vibes your way!
I went to school 5 years ago and received a Bachelors degree in Communications with a minor in Biology. After college I went right to work and realized I wasn't happy in my field. Not to mention I had zero work life balance. I recently decided to go back to school at a community college that offers an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene. I have to retake some of the prerequisites but my goal is to apply for the Dental Hygiene program. This video helped me be more at ease with getting my associates degree vs a bachelors!
Do all Hygiene schools have a time limit on prerequisites..? Im really not wanting to have to take microbiology again! lol in your case five years isnt even that bad..!
Excellent video. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology. I think an Associates degree would be cheaper for me however I do like the idea of double majoring.
Hi there! I'm new to your channel. I came across it because I've been looking into becoming a hygentist. I've heard multiple times that it can be hard on your body overtime but to take care of yourself. If possible could you make a video on any tips you have for that or let me know if you already have a video on that? I couldn't find one. Love this channel btw so helpful!
yesss! I have an ergonomics video all about body care - hope this helps: ua-cam.com/video/HK0vxnjSZZk/v-deo.html and wishing you the best on your toothy journey!
I'm actually considering a dental hygiene career. I actually received my bachelors degree in civil engineering. I will very likely go the associates route but I am not sure how exactly my engineering background could be helpful in the career. I'm truly interested in the dental field but don't know what I should expect considering I have already completed a bachelors program
Hi thanks for the explanation. I do still have a question. What is the difference between attending a private, public, for profit, non-profit college for dental hygiene. Will the degree be perceived the same?
So you have an associates in dental hygiene and a bachelors in biology? Asking bc I have a bachelor's in health sciences and want to go back to school for dh and i'm choosing bw a.s. and b.s. Love your videos!!
@@TeethTalk if you don’t mind me asking, because you got an associates in DH and a bachelors in bio , it took you 6 years? Hope your able to answer, I’m in a sticky pickle.
this makes me so happy! if there is anything I can do to help translate (like a feature to turn on UA-cam that I'm unaware of) please let me know!!! thank you for your support!
I have two questions: 1) What's the average school cost for DH associate degree programs? And, 2) Does this career require extensive math and chemistry to graduate?
quick question can you go to a 4 year college for an associate dental hygienist and how long does the pre classes for an associate take and how long does the dental school take, in total how many years???? another question is how long does the bacholars in dental hygienist take including pre classes and how many years in total pre classes and bacholars dental degree ????
I’ve been conflicted between an associates and a BS. I have getting my bachelors now I’m Health Care administration. So I should maybe do an Associates for Dental then🤔
thank you for watching! here's my map of accredited dental hygiene schools -- hope this helps: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh/dental-hygiene-programs-and-requirements
Can you do a video on Alabama preceptorship program?? Here in Alabama you can be an assistant for 24 months and then apply for ADHP for 12 months and become a RDH. I am currently in this process and was wondering if you or anyone here have any insight or info.
I have a plan to go to a community college and they offer an associates degree for hygiene, am I able to go back to school to get my bachelors? because I know some people go straight to get their bachelors
yes! but only nitrous oxide and local anesthetic, if your state offers the certificates. here's a video of mine that explains the differences between different types: ua-cam.com/video/_tD7IR2oQ8o/v-deo.html
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! personally the science field has always been interesting to me, but it's just recently that i've really been interested in pursuing an associates degree (called a diploma here in canada) in dental hygiene! i'm going into my last year of high school and super excited/nervous about my future of post-secondary studies! one question though: did you find that your attainment of a bachelor's degree in biology before studying to be a dental assistant/hygienist helped you once you entered the workforce? my dad has always assumed (and so have i, in a way) that i would be attending a university and getting my bachelors. like you said, society has evolved in such a fashion that getting one's bachelor's degree is almost as expected as getting one's high school diploma. however, i would love to go right into college and study dental hygiene in a two year program right after i finish high school, but i would also be okay with going to university first and getting a bachelor's of science to appease my dad (and to get the proverbial university 'experience'). what do you think i should do? thanks so much, love your video smmmmm!
I know this is late but I feel youuu, I don’t know 100% what I want to do in the future, for sure in a medical field, but I’m really interested in dental hygiene and I know I can get my associates degree in a dental hygiene program but in the back of my head I feel like I need to go to a university and get a bachelors degree to know I have something and to make my parents proud, growing up they’re always motivating me to study hard and go to college which I’m grateful for but I don’t know what to do hehe
My understanding is it depends on the path that school offers.. For example, a school could offer Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene Degree (BSDH) where the 2 years of prerequisites are build into the 4 year program (2 years prerequisites + 2 years program courses) OR toward a Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene (ASDH) where the 2 year include both prerequisites (not as many as a BS) and the program courses. Just examples but again it depends on the how the degree is set up by the school of choice. I hope that made sense.
Hi Teeth Talk girl :) , I’m 24 years old with a bachelors degree in business that isn’t doing anything for me. I am considering going back to school but I was thinking something outside of a business masters degree. At first I was thinking being a male nurse but I actually went to the dentist recently and thought hey maybe I should look into being a DH. Do u know how many semesters/years it would take me to become a DH if I already have a bachelors?
if you go for an associates in dental hygiene - it should take about 2 years as long as you already have all the prerequisite courses taken :) here's my RDH hub that should help with more info: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh wishing you the best toothy career!
Hi gorgeous! I am also wanting to become a DH and I don't know where to start. You mean to say that If you have not taken the Prequisite courses it takes longer ? How long are the courses ?
I am getting my bachelors in speech language sciences and disorders and i was planning on getting my masters to become an SLP but now that I learned more about becoming an RDH i am starting to rethinking everything!!!! is it too late?
Hello doc..please suggest I need to ask you something i asked for antiseptic oral mouth wash as (seeing your video of gums realted vs cavity related prblms)I need gums prevention oral mouthwash. They gave me oral rinse that says oral mucositis. (& other inflammatory oral conditions)as due to covid they don't have enough things so can i use this more than 2times in a day?? As😢 I have tartar plus plaque generate fast.
If you receive an associates from a Community college then received your certificate from a university does that make any change compared to someone who gets Their associates and certificate from a community college?
Sometimes! It depends on the school! If you take most of the science courses needed for a biology bachelors while preparing for DH school - it might only take a couple more years to complete a bachelor degree in science. Like I said - each school and program is different - but it is possible! Hope this helps!
hey great video!!! My name is Estefania Acevedo im from venezuela but moved to orlando florida almost 3 years :) i just ve some questions about it. im a dental assitant and probably as soon is posible i will start dental hygnist school (at valencia colloge thats assotices degre 2 years) so : 1- can i follow my studies and get a beachelor?if i just get a assotices degre on DH? 2-can i be a dental doctor if a get a dental hyginst beachelor? on my coutry i was studying to be a doctor buut i came here and im
Holaa! Yo tambien soy de Venezuela! Y si puedes obtener el bachelors después del associate solo tienes que conseguir un programa en una universidad que lo haga, y luego de que tengas el bachelors eso te sirve para estudiar odontología. Es un largo proceso pero es posible. Y lo bueno es que vas por pasos y nada más con el associate ya puedes trabajar y ganar súper bien.
hi friend - every program's admission requirements are different - they usually have specific prerequisite courses to take prior to applying. my best advice is to look up the admissions requirements of your intended DH program. until then, here is my DH schooling and career hub with more information: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh
Hello, this is my first year in college working on BS degree my question is can i be dental hygienist and get a job right after I graduate with Bachelor of science? Please answer my question thank you
My understanding is it depends on which path toward becoming a dental hygienist you want to take. Associates or a Bachelors. Either way you have to complete a " Dental Hygiene program" in order to work as one upon graduating. You cant alone have a B.S. in some other subject then try to obtain a job as a DH. Unless you are working on a Bachelor of Science IN Dental Hygiene Degree. For example, I have my B.S. in Education so I am using my credits that will transfer toward my prerequisites, toward a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene Degree (BSDH) OR toward a Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene (ASDH). I hope that made sense.
I'm very thankful to have been accepted from my first application. I already had my bachelors in biology with good grades - which made my application competitive for my DH school. Please keep in mind that every school is different and may weigh different things differently! Hope this helps!
if you have all of the prerequisites and application requirements of your intended school -- here's a video of mine that might help: ua-cam.com/video/eLbCG2-o7l0/v-deo.html
By DDS...I think you mean Doctor of Dental Surgery which is the degree of a Dentist. A Dental Hygientist is like a Nurse while a Dentist is like a Doctor..

Is being a Registered Dental Hygienist the same as having an associates in Dental Hygiene?
the dental hygiene degree is the associates (or bachelors) and the "registered" means you passed your licensure exams - hope this helps!
You are one pretty dental hygienist! If mine would have been so pretty I would definitely have whiter teeths :D
If you receive an associates from a Community college then received your certificate from a university does that make any change compared to someone who gets Their associates and certificate from a community college?
So you telling that I can make an associate on dental hygiene I just have to study one or two year more to get my biology bachelor ?
Sometimes! It depends on the school! If you take most of the science courses needed for a biology bachelors while preparing for DH school - it might only take a couple more years to complete a bachelor degree in science. Like I said - each school and program is different - but it is possible! Hope this helps!

hi friend - every program's admission requirements are different - they usually have specific prerequisite courses to take prior to applying. my best advice is to look up the admissions requirements of your intended DH program. until then, here is my DH schooling and career hub with more information: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh
Is it hard to get a job is you graduate from
Community college? )):
Do you have to be great at math, science or chemistry to be a dental hygienist?
Great question! I actually made a video all about that: ua-cam.com/video/j2OWrll80-Y/v-deo.html
I talked about becoming a dentist in that vid - but same goes for dental hygienist :) Hope it helps!
How many years does it take in getting a Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene?
Hello, this is my first year in college working on BS degree my question is can i be dental hygienist and get a job right after I graduate with Bachelor of science? Please answer my question thank you
My understanding is it depends on which path toward becoming a dental hygienist you want to take. Associates or a Bachelors.
Either way you have to complete a " Dental Hygiene program" in order to work as one upon graduating. You cant alone have a B.S. in some other subject then try to obtain a job as a DH.
Unless you are working on a Bachelor of Science IN Dental Hygiene Degree.
For example, I have my B.S. in Education so I am using my credits that will transfer toward my prerequisites, toward a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene Degree (BSDH) OR toward a Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene (ASDH). I hope that made sense.
I already have a bachelor's in psychology will my job opportunities be limited when I do a associate's in dental hygiene ?
I'm also having the same degree and thinking about going for dental hygiene
Same, I have a bachelors in psychology and I wonder if it can go towards dental hygiene
I have a bachelors in psychology as well ! And wanted to know the same
How long did it take for you get into the dental hygiene program?
I'm very thankful to have been accepted from my first application. I already had my bachelors in biology with good grades - which made my application competitive for my DH school. Please keep in mind that every school is different and may weigh different things differently! Hope this helps!

Can you do a video on BDS vs DDS
By DDS...I think you mean Doctor of Dental Surgery which is the degree of a Dentist. A Dental Hygientist is like a Nurse while a Dentist is like a Doctor..
