Coming from a second year dental graduate, keep up with the study and keep on practicing!! No one is perfect from the beginning. Even after all the practicing, we still find faults in our work and thrive to improve every day. That’s just the nature of this profession. Definitely a profession where hard work really pays off. So keep it up!! Reminds me of my university/college days haha
Thank you! Very encouraging words - I definitely noticed I'm starting to get better after practicing more and more!
I think what people love about your channel is how personal you are with them. I think people really consider you their friend as they watch. Great work :) I've been working on the same thing, but I haven't quite jumped to the vlog format which is just so personal. You've definitely got me motivated to go there!!!
Yessss! Keep the vlogs coming this was greattt🙌🏾. I’m a pre-dental student from Ireland and I’ll be going to dental school somewhere else in Europe hopefully in 2020!💗
I'm a clinical dental student from Egypt, much love for you and keep going ❤️🙌
Wow thank you so much for the support!
Dood how are you not bored? Just finished year 2 and nothing practical yet. Crown and the rest start from year 3
I just recently found your channel and absolutely love it. I am a senior in high school and I have been thinking about becoming a dentist for a few years now but wasn’t really sure if it was a great fit for me. After watching some of your videos, it is really helping me decide if dentistry is a great path for me. So, thank you for helping me decide that I do want to become a dentist. 😄
Hi, Laura! :)
I discovered your channel and videos this week, and let me tell you that I love to watch them!!!
I really like to see the atmosphere of our university, your tips to dental and pre-dental student ( although, I have no use in them ahaha. Here is very different...) and overall everything you show in your vlogs!
I am a 2º year student of dentistry in Portugal! I am enjoying my course, but the way you talk about dentistry is so passionate that is making me be even more excited to go to the university and learn how to wax and all of that!
Keep up the awesome work! ;) Kisses from Portugal! 🇵🇹
With indirect vision of posterior teeth, I find that it really helps when you move the patient’s head towards the side where you’re drilling and position yourself on the other side of the head! Maybe you can try and see how it feels 😋 hope that makes sense HAHAHA
Thanks for the tip!! I'll have to try that cause I still feel awkward!
Laura’s hella good at drilling!
you are
Hey Laura! I just put on a rubber dam for the first time yesterday! I love all your vlogs!
Thanks for watching! It was so difficult putting it on for the first time! But it's been getting better hahahaa
YESSS LAURA UPLOADED!!! 😁😍💖
I love these. please do more!
thanks!
Your videos make me love Dentistry even more! I’m a Dental Hygienist and I’m craving more dental knowledge. Currently working on my B.A.S. I’m 22 and I’m hoping to make it to Dental School before my 30s 😂
Watching this in my dental school
bahahah
Starting clinic in a few days and I really enjoy your awesome videos
Keep them comming
thanks! I can't wait to start clinic next year!
good luck with your second year!
Thanks man!
recently found you on youtube, and i love your videos and fun and bubbly personality. you’re going to do great in this field! i’ve been a CDA for over ten years and in hygiene school now. :)
more vlogs pls, its fun seeying how other countries study dentistry, Love from Russia
thanks!
“Yes we’re Gucci” 😂
hahaha
ur dental school seems pretty lax about rules. Im in DH school and they made us cut all our nails super short, no polish, no piercings, hair must never come down by face, we aren't even allowed to record lectures. im so jealous
Same. Girls in my school can't even dye their hair. Lol
I've heard from other hygiene students that their programs are very strict too - so interesting to me! Our nails are supposed to be short - I just still had mine done from summer vacation and just got them removed a couple days ago haha
STraWbERry2488 I know she does seem to have a chill environment!
First year dental student at Case Western Reserve and we actually have a vendor fair coming up this week for loupes.. Is there anything in particular we should look for? Surgitel did come do a lunch and learn, but there will be many more companies at the vendor fair and I'm not exactly sure what makes them different from the rest
Yes! Make sure to compare price, frames (as in which frames you actually like and fit your face well), how clear the magnification is, how light/heavy the loupes are, the warranty/return policy)
How do you get your teeth sooooo white!!!!
I want to know so bad 😣
Haha! I'll make a video on my oral hygiene/whitening routine soon!
LauraSmiles pleaseee do that!
Congrats on your new loops. We weren’t encouraged with that when I was in dental school
Hi Laura my name is Anna (: . I am a Pre-Dental student and I would love to know what are some good tips to have on my future application and also what did you use to prep for the DAT 😊.
Hi! Yes! I've made videos about these topics! Check my channel for more! :)
Your videos are so helpful.👍
Thanks for watching!
okay that highlight though
haha it only lasted the first day of school then I got lazy to put makeup on x]
Hey Laura, you make great videos 👌 just wanted to say keep it up, our dental school is basically the same as yours. 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching! Nice! Dental schools are pretty different so it's interesting when things are similar!
You inspire me!
Aw, thanks!!
WOWOW new vlog! Nice apartment. No LA or Vegas vlog thoooo??
LOL no
Great vlog
Thanks!
An occlusal lingual restoration is not a class 2...?
Woops! Meant a two surface class I OL - good catch!
Wooow you're school is so nice, way better than where im from. Is the dental materials provided by the school?... love from a dentist in Philippines
Haha I'm lucky I have a nice dental school - I'm sure yours is great too! The materials are provided by the school but the costs are covered in our tuition
Great video! Jajja you're so funny 😊
thanks for watching!
Hi Laura, I really enjoy your videos. Keep em' coming!
Would love to know what routine you use to maintain and whiten your teeth.
I personally follow a white diet and stay away from acidic beverages. And I wanted to know if you by chance use carbamide peroxide to maintain your white teeth?
Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I'll make a video about my oral hygiene/whitening routine soon!
Hi Laura! love your vlogs! I'm a registered dental hygienist thinking of going to dental school. I was just curious- do your practicals require an instructor to observe you or do you work on your own and submit it at a due date?
Hi! Thanks for watching! Our practicals are timed and graded during class with our instructors watching. Our projects we work on our own and submit on a due date!
Laura! Great video:) what dental school do you go to?
thanks! university of washington!
Girl can you send me that rubber dam power point. Lmao I need help 😂😂
Haha wish I could but I can't!
Hey Laura! Did you move? Can you do an apartment tour?
mabes
Don’t you need to have short nails for dentistry,hygiene wise?
Random question but did you study everyday during your undergrad in order to get a good gpa for dental school? Great video, btw!
Hi laura, can i ask, where do you study? And do you have programs for international trained dentist pursuing american DMD/DDS license?
How old are you and do you wanna to specialize? And how did you get the money for apartments?
24 and not sure about specializing yet - thinking general. LOANS
Cutiiee✨ (i want to be a dentist)
you can do it!!
Hi laura! how much were your loupes from Surgitel?
I believe this pair was around $1700 for just the loupes, no light!
Is your University accommodating for you being a left hander ?
Hi! I've been watching your videos for a long time and had a question. Sorry if it sounds stupid, but is Dental School a full-time student commitment or are you able to be a part-time student? I am currently working on my degree as well as becoming a dental hygienist to pay for my college. I would love to be a dentist, but sometimes the cost causes me to have second thoughts. I know student loans are an option, but I am hoping to stay out of those as much as possible. Thank you so much! Wish you the best!
There are no part-time dental programs
drsmsaracino thank you!
you are welcome! Even the amount of time spent by students in a full time program is not enough time to make them to the level they need to be. It all comes down to experience gained over time, once they graduate. I wish you the good luck in your decision on whether to go from hygiene to dentistry. One thing you may want to look into is some states are adopting a lower level dentist type degree called dental therapists. Less schooling expense and a better financial future than hygiene. Check this link out malegislature.gov/Bills/190/S1169
drsmsaracino Thank you for the link! I agree with your statement on how the current programs don’t fully prepare future dentists. Although, at least it is the best stepping stone to get them into the field to gain more experience under other dentists who have been in the field longer. I will look into that link, except being a dentist has always been and will continue to be my ultimate goal. Hopefully if the Navy works out for me the way they say it will, I will be able to become a dentist through that. Dental hygiene is a good milestone for my age, but I know that I have the perseverance to make it farther.
Hi AJ! I'm a full-time student and I can't even think of having a part-time job but some people make it work in school! I'm personally relying on loans for everything though so I know how scary debt is !
Great vlogs! Take it from a new graduate, attach the rubber dam frame before flossing the dam through teeth and your life will be 800x better. You're welcome 😋❤️
Thanks for the tip!!!
I really need some advice and have tons of questions, since this is what I want to study. Please help me ! 💗
Feel free to email me - I'll try to respond when I can
Great video!!! I hope that my channel can some day grow to reach and help as many people as your channel has!! Awesome work!
A SingleTon of Smiles I agree! I love her videos! Your videos are helpful as well!!
