Just want to appreciate you for creating such content on a regular basis. The videos are amazing and loved how easy you present things. All the best
THANK YOU so much for this kind comment! means more than you know! :)
Thanks for the info! I’m applying this week hopefully I get accepted
Thank you so much! This video was very informative. I am currently taking prerequisite classes for the dental hygiene program at a local community college. I already work in the healthcare field as a phlebotomist, and I love it, but I want to continue my education and give dental hygiene a try.
yay!!! that is so great! so excited for you! my coworker who is a hygienist is also a phlebotomist, as well! she loves both!!!!!
I ❤ this video! Too funny 😊. Just so much personality but definitely informative at the same time, which I love. Nice!
thank you so much for watching!
Honestly, when I was most apprehensive about DH, your vids made me feel a lot better about pursuing Hygiene as a career. I’m now in DH school going for my associates and it doesn’t even feel real
yay!!!!! congrats!! and wishing you the best toothy journey!!!
Wow it is so helpful thank you ❤
Thank you bc i needed this!!
I'm 28 with a 2 year old but I am determined to becoming a dental hygienist so here I am applying to take my prerequisites !
Update?
I’ve been trying to do research about this.. trying to figure out where to begin.. thinking about switching my major ... good video.
thank you for watching! I hope this video helped you! And my RDH checklist: bit.ly/rdh-video-checklist wish you the best toothy journey!!!
I’m still quite young, but im around the age where I’m starting to think about career paths! Ever since I was 12 I have always wanted to be some sort of dentist, and these videos really help me to see what it’s all about 😊
wishing you the best toothy journey! here's my RDH video checklist :) bit.ly/rdh-video-checklist
@@TeethTalk Thank you!
✌️ good info
Hi Whitney would you ever make a video about sore lymph nodes. I have what seems like a blocked parotid gland. Eating food will randomly give a sharp shooting pain. I get random flare ups since I was 10-12. No answers from dentists. 😔It’s been over ten years and it won’t go away
I love this so much
thank you for watching!
My situation is a very interesting one I think, I'm on my last semester to get my bachelor's in computer science with a focus on IT, but I'm sort of having doubts about the work culture of that industry. The intense, take-your-work-home-with-you style that exists in some companies really doesn't sit well with me because I want time for hobbies and learning more about my field, which may be very difficult in that environment. I'm considering applying to dental hygiene associate's programs if I find I don't like tech, how do you think they'd see a computer science degree? 😂
If you take suggestions for videos, please make one comparing how different sugar free chewing gums affect the Ph of the mouth. I use Wrigley's extra but no litmus paper, thank you
I love suggestions! Definitely adding to my list! Thank you!
Hii ma'am..need ur suggestions..for zygomatic imlant
Will you be releasing anymore hygiene cleaning videos? They're really cool :)
yay! yesss! one is scheduled for the first week of October! can't wait for you to see it!
@@TeethTalk awesome! I had my hygiene cleaning this week, it was so hot so I went in my flip flops 😂
I love the vid
yay! thank you for watching!
How do you know if you have good vision to be a dental hygienist? also, cn one work on their attention to detail skills?
Hi Whitney, I am studying at a 4 year college majoring in biology. I want to be a dental hygienist, will I get into a dental hygiene program this way?
Hi Whitney, do you have a video on applying for financial aid for hygiene schools and making programs more affordable?
yesss!!! just edited it! will be coming out next Thursday! stay tuned!
can you make please make a video about how hard is to get into the program, the schools available only accept maybe 20 students ?
yesss! here's my free RDH Video Checklist that goes over ways to make applications more competitive -- hope this helps: bit.ly/rdh-video-checklist
whitney i start shadowing december 18
Thank you for this great video! So I’m 21 always wanted to become a dental hygienist but I’ve been discouraged since it’s seen as more of a female ran industry. Is there a lot of male RDH’s? I’m currently in a dental assistant program with a month left, so I’m looking into working as a RDA during hygiene school. I’m going for the Bachelors in Nursing with a AAS for Health Science then going into dental hygiene school. How does that sound?
males can be hygienists too! here's my video more about that: ua-cam.com/video/KDihT51ObDU/v-deo.html hope this helps! wishing you the best toothy journey!
It's a hard decision for me, I've been considering this for a while now. I'm currently a full time dental assistant, so if I do decide to go to dental hygiene school it'll be a full time long term commitment. No breaks in between semesters, I guess I'll feel burnout, stressed, overwhelmed. This is what's holding me back from pursuing it.
im 17 but me too and i haven’t even finished my EF dental assistant program that i’m excelling in so far
Ive been doing DA for 6 months now, I mean it's decent job but I don't feel like dealing with rude doctors like working chairside with them and little pay for so much duties. So im thinking about becoming a RDH but working is kinda holding me back too because im tryna move out but at the same time I dont want to be burnt out, might leave DA job and do security while I get my degree, idk , it's a lot of planning we gotta do lol.
Do you think it’s any apprenticeships for dental hygienist
I am 30years and I have been Registered nurse in my home country (Asia) now I wish to become dental hygienist.. May I know how many years I have to study here in US?
Hey Whitney!! You recommended some of the best whitening toothpastes before, but what abt mouthwash? Ik you did a lot of videos talking about mouthwash, but i would like to know about whitening mouthwashes specifically- sorry for the off topic comment. Thank you !
She's done excellent prior Videos on this exact subject. Teeth Talk Girl & Video & scroll down to find the specific Video. It's all there.
@@brucegold5046 thank you for letting me know
IMPORTANT QUESTION: do you recommend me getting a public health degree at my community college before going to a program just in case the program doesn't work out and I'm left with nothing ?
From my experience, a PH bachelor's degree is very limited with job options. I worked in a community health worker role at a hospital and half of my coworkers did not have a college degree. I have also seen people in manager roles without a bachelor however those individuals either have been in the company for a long time or had various leadership roles. I enjoy PH so I am doing my PH Master's in the meantime I finish my pre-reqs for hygiene.
I am 30 with two kids, 6 years old and 10 months and want to be dental hygienist 😊
This is just for research for a character in the book I'm writing, but do you have to do anything more to be a pediatric hygienist?
Nope! I graduated with my Bachelors in Dental Hygiene and have worked in a pediatric office then switched to a general dental office. It’s just preference where you want to work!
Hi
can you help me
What about a dental hygienist trade school what do I do if I jist want the trade school I'm in high school ao not sure what to do 😂
trade schools aren't available for dental hygienists, however there are certificate programs for dental assisting that can be completed in under a year. hope this helps!
✌️❤️🦷‼️
🌹❤️😍😘‼️Great Video Whitney 😘‼️
thank you for watching! and commenting kind!
My community college doesn't offer an associates anymore.
mine didn't either -- but there should be a co-opt for the closest college near you that offers dental hygiene. look into co-ops! hope this helps!
Am I too old to start dental hygiene school? I am 42 and with my son starting college in the fall I want to pursue a career helping others.
never too old!! we had students of all ages in my class!!! you got this!!!
What did you get your bachelors in?
biology :) here's my video where I talk about my journey -- ua-cam.com/video/hjYlTJBJrKc/v-deo.html :)

Peace love teeth
PLT!!!
Is 39 too old for this career? There's an accelerated program near me.
I asked my dental lady doing my cleaning if she got her dental hygiene degree and she said she is only a medical assistant. Is that normal? She told me doctor don't really hire dental hygienist anymore.
That's illegal. They can be reported.
Yikes! What country is this? I would report them because that doesn’t sound legal.
@@dwise2165 North Hollywood CA. It seemed odd to me . Not to mention, the Dr did not do X-rays until I requested at the end. His excuse was that he took them 6 months ago lol
@@airless818 That is very odd and I think illegal 😟 I wouldn’t go back there.
Are you still doing dental hygiene now that you have 3 billion subscribers and video views? 😅 I’m a dental hygienist. I would have stopped if I had that many views on my videos.
When are you going to clean Sara’s teeth?
video is coming out the first week of October!! I'm almost done editing it :)
