    I've been watching you since my junior year of high school and now I'm entering my 3rd year of college and taking my DAT in Sept! Watching you mature, grow, and thrive has been so inspiring. Congrats on officially becoming a dentist!!

    Timestamps! (If you don't care for the boba and you just want to know the answers)
    2:55 Corporate or Private Practice?
    3:46 What type of procedures have I done?
    4:30 Have I done Root Canal Treatments?
    6:19 How do I like working with dental assistants?
    8:08 Do I get through things quicker now that I don't have to get my work checked off?
    9:34 Did I find it difficult to improve my speed?/ Did I feel prepared coming out of dental school and not doing a GPR? (General Practice Residency)
    14:29 Unexpected challenges as a new dentist?
    15:54 Do older patients have trouble respecting me for my age or lack of experience?
    18:03 Did dental school prepare me?

      No we’re in a long distance relationship. I’m probably going to hold off on vlogging and giving a tour of my workplace. I want to remain professional! Maybe one day when I open up my own practice.

    Enjoyed this! Your first job sounds great! I did not have the luxury of working for someone so understanding of my speed. But that’s how I got faster (I did a GPR though). Push yourself to pick up the speed. My associate does her crowns in 2 hours and honestly that is a little too long.. the patient is exhausted by the end. I’m glad you are learning to rely on yourself. The owner will always be there to bail you out. And yes a good assistant is clutch. I’ve had my fair share of good and bad assistants and the good ones are gold. Can’t live without them.

      @@brittanywatu4835 Hehe i so lost my train of thought (pregnancy brain) but i forgot to mention my associate does really good work and i'll take that over speed any day. but yeah patients are super tired after 2 hours. alsoooooo forgot to mention that sometimes people call me by my first name as well. I find it hard to correct an older person..i think its just the culture i was raised in.

You have to do a pre dental school. Help me please explain to me what to do after high school ? What it’s the pre dental school ? and more information about this ? how long it lasts ?in which school you did it.? And how to do the application ? Please help me it is my dream to study dentistry in USA but I don’t understand the system ?

    Also, I don't think that i would mind if a patient called me by my first name bc I would just think that that patient is trying to get to know me better as a person and develop a (professional) relationship with me
