I love these videos. I've been stacking up coins because I got accepted into a universtiy for their DH program. So many out of pocket costs before the school even starts and before the fasfa hits, but it is all worth the investment. I've already been looking at the job out look now since a ton of western states like Oregon, Arizona, Cali, Colorado, Washington all pay more than 50 to around 70 or 80.00 an hour. Also, I want to open my own hygiene practice here somewhere.These videos inspire me. So I am ready to get into it. And fun fact:... I am the ONLY black individual in the class of 32 students. So I have to rep for my people
Omg !! Yas! Stack your coins. I am a dental hygiene student in the state of WA!! I knew that I really wanted to get in the program so I worked my ass off and saved so much money! I saved $10,000 to support myself during my 2 years in the program!! Wa state does pay between $50-65 but the majority of clinics pay $55 and higher. I also want to open my own clinic!!! Btw I graduate in 10 DAYS; June 11th🎓🎉 Keep your head up when times get rough, have faith in God and good luck to you😘💕💕
I’ve been following you for a few years now since you started with UA-cam. I just had a baby and didn’t know what the heck to do with my life. After watching your dental hygiene videos, I went out and finished all my prerequisites. I start dental hygiene school in November! Love you girl you changed my life
Amen to that! I started watching Tajah about few months ago and she really made me realize I could do better! So I leveled up! I left my engineering job in 🇯🇲 , moved to Canada 🇨🇦, started an MBA program and started my own UA-cam channel! Because just like how she motivated me, I want to share my journey so it may motivate someone else! Thanks Tajah!!!! 😘😘
@@kayonaldria sis just a word of advice. Vlog your whole journey in Canada. I mean everything from everyday life, cooking Jamaican food in Canada, working everything. People love to see that. I follow Tony Daley who is another Jamaican living in Canada and people love to see how Caribbean people live in foreign land.
Hey guys get a LLC and have the temp agency pay the LLC ( your biz) instead of you. You will save alot of money doing tax time. Especially if the temp agency don't pay your taxes.I would love to do a video with you 😊. I been a hygienist 16yrs and temp 8yrs
I start my prerequisites this month I’m working as a dental assistant now (Endo) and trying to do all my classes online till lab Covid lockdown kinda helped the ones who wanna work and go to school because more professors wanna teach virtual now , wish me luck y’all , paying out of pocket No family just blood sweat and tears 💕 praying for new hygienist and future hygienist🙏🧿we got this
She said the lady she met was God sent….honey you are!! I’m so grateful to have come across your platform years ago and have not be disappointed. I’m currently a vet tech but always wanted to go into humane medicine. I looked up nursing, CNA, PA, everything. I started doing dentals in my practice and absolutely love it. Then I got the bright idea of this is where I want to be but in human medicine. Sure enough I started school taking prerequisites and super excited about my journey. Watching your growth and your journey has made it that much more worth it and inspirational. Girl I can on and on but seriously thank you Tajah for everything you are doing for us 💓💓💓
Needed this as I’m getting ready to start hygiene school in the Fall!!! Your videos are always so honest and helpful! I’m so grateful for you and your videos. You’re amazing! 💕
I actually feel like being a temp as a new grad actually helped me bc every office is different and it really helped me gain perspective on the field as a whole without being stuck with the ideals of what office. I learned a lot being a temp! And jumping right into it actually helped me learn and gain confidence:) I also had a similar experience to you and learned about the app … girl sooooooooooo much better in regards of pay!!! Love watching your videosssss !
Thank you for this!! I am graduating this summer & trying to weigh the pros & cons of going right into temping, but didn’t know if it was a good idea or not! 😅
@@NernadetteForever you didn’t feel too overwhelmed speed-wise? My biggest fear temping as soon as I graduate this summer is the fact that I’m going into an office that doesn’t really know it’s my first day, nor do they care. And basically just throwing me into a fast paced day where I can’t keep up yet😩
The way you talked about you career is so motivating. My daughter is 18 and she is interested in being a dental hygienist so I hope your video will help inspire her to stick with this career goal. That was so informative 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗
Wow girl,hygiene is a lot more similar to nursing than I thought it was in terms of agencies and all. I’m not in the dental world at all but this was really informative 👌🏽❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I graduate from DH school in a year and I’ve been thinking about temping but kept hearing mixed things from other hygienists. This video was VERY helpful and I think this is something I’ll definitely love.
Great video. I’m a GUYgienist that graduated in 2018. The only black guy and it probably was the best decision I ever made. I work full time now for a company and still temp at times. Thinking about getting my GA license also so this video was very informational.
Tajah I’ve been wanting to be a dental hygienist for sooooo long but I’ve been so afraid because I’ve had sooo many questions and always feel like I don’t have the answers anywhere but you have helped me so much! Please keep making these and I’m so thankful for your videos ❤️❤️❤️
You’ve gained a new subscriber!! I’ve been thinking about dental hygiene for so long and you really helped me get an overall view of what it would be like to be an rdh so thank you!
This was great Tajah! Thank you for making this video and filling in the gap. I start hygiene school in August and this is so helpful to me and many others. ❤️
Hey Tajah, I just thought I’d let you know I’ve been watching you since you were in Fayetteville.. i used to live near the Greensboro area. But you really have grown so much!! You’ve inspired me to become a RDH! I currently work as a DA while taking prereqs but I hope to apply 2024! Can’t wait to see what your future holds!! Thank you again for the inspiration :)
I loved this video! You are very informative and fun! I graduated from dental hygiene in 2019 in MO. I've worked in public health the entire time but started temping on my day off to make some extra money. Once I finish up my loan repayment contract with HRSA I may switch to full time temping. It's definitely nice to have freedom over your schedule and a break from work if needed (even if it's a few days) because, girl you're not wrong about those body aches 😅 this job is a labor of love, that's for sure! Anyway, I just found your channel today and watched this video on my way to work haha. I'm excited to explore your content! 💜🦷
I have been following you for a while. I always wanted to be a dental hygienist. I did go to dental assistant school but now because for my love for the field and passion. I decided to go back to school for dental hygiene. I love your passion and drive to try new and different things that works for you. You inspire me to do my best and give me the push I need to get that money. 💵😝 You are an amazing, but you already know that. ❤️Thanks so much. Keep giving us great vlogs.🥰
Thank you 👐🏾❤️ ! You answered most of my questions in this video.. I was feeling doubtful at first on if I should really do this or not but this video really helped me to make my decision into pursuing into this career & also it’s funny that you said that you were talking to someone who said that they were a dental hygienist for 30+ years . I too have met someone in the office doing my teeth lol 😅 telling me her experience of being a travel hygienist for 30+ years & she persuaded me into getting into this career because I had no idea what I wanted to do in life I was just stuck. But I’m glad that I came across this video💯
I’m currently starting my Dental Hygiene career Fall of this year. This video was extremely helpful you always give us the goods and keep us 10 steps ahead. I’m even more interested in becoming a temp hygienist now.
You can make a BIG coin working agency! I am an RN and they used to give us the worst loads cause we used to make the higher hourly rate vs. the staff Nurses! I had a goal, achieved it and now have returned to a company! Awesome 👏🏾 content and on point 🎯
I really enjoyed this video I’ll be going into my second semester of taking classes for dental hygiene in the fall . Only took 3 classes last semester got 2 B’s and a C . Getting that C Was Annoying but I’m proud of myself next time all A’s 😂
I just love this I got a few more classes to finish and I’ll be apply for the program this spring to start in the fall I can wait, currently knocking out summer classes now!!!!
im still fairly new to your channel by way of jayla koriyan whom i been subscribed to lonnngg time and proud of her success and i am so proud of you..your videos are a joy to watch..you both such Bosses!
*SIGH* I just ♥️ it here! You’re such a gem! Constantly helping others and inspiring others. Just reading your comments makes me so happy seeing all these young people out here doing the darn thing! You inspire me by just being you. I need to reopen my UA-cam and give r encouragement to people who are interested in becoming a BCBA. There are not a lot of black BCBAS and the pay is good and demand is HIGH! Keep up the great work 🙌🏿🙌🏿♥️♥️
Omg!! As one of my career pathways, I'm interested/ considering becoming a dental hygienist post senior grad, and your detailed video delivered babeee.
Such a great video, I didn't think about being a travel hygienist, I'm certainly considering it, currently in school. Can't wait to finish this so I can begin working. Traveling is good for people like me who don't like the whole "relationship" vibe with offices. Do my job and go home lol
Yesss tajah girl thank you for making this video!! I just graduated from DH school and I take my last licensing exam this Wednesday and to get licensed I will be soon! I’ve thought about temping with Ondiem but I still wasn’t sure. You definitely helped me make up my mind ♥️
@@gyumorning0205 I took the computer simulated exam, which was one of the 4 licensing exams. I passed it, it wasn’t too bad but don’t underestimate it. It’s like a mini national boards exam.
Tajahhhhhaaaa $65 per hr girl that's why I love and respect you like I do because you are a woman of SELF-EVERYTHING!, Awareness, love respect ,worth! And you projected all with SELF-CONFIDENCE! Set the price but not all of them can set it with confidence!💯🍾🥂👑👍🏾🦵🏾💪🏾🖤🙂🙏🏾
Just graduated last year. Was talking to my lecture and she suggested that I do the travel DH thing because this gives someone experience since one is working in different dental setups and one is paid in commission mostly
Please please please make more hygiene vids! U really have motivated me to put all my fears aside and pursue a career in dental hygiene. I start my prerequisites in August!
There are multiple temping agencies such as TempMee, Dental Dynamic Staffing, North American Dental Group, and Team Placement Services😊. I currently work North American Dental group and I’m a new grad🥰
Good information sis. For your back, wear a waist trainer. I have a spine injury & I can tell a difference when I wear my waist trainer & when I don’t. It really helps support my back.
Hey girlie, thanks for the video!❤ I’m looking into becoming a dental hygienist but don’t where to start. Can you please make a video about applying for dental hygienist school, the cost, what you did to become one but over all congratulations girlie you’re an inspiration to this society 🥹👏🙌❤️❤️
Hey, Tajah my love, I enjoyed this video Because My dream is becoming a dental hygienist, and girl when I tell you I cant wait I can not wait, I believe that I can and girl. You've inspired me in so many ways throughout my life. You taught me the value of a strong work ethic and a positive attitude in the face of hardship. But, I was thinking of starting as an assistant and move up but, I'm still thinking (Tips please ? )
Hi Tajah! I absolutely love watching your videos. Your spirit and energy is so amazing to me, not to mention.. you are such a beautiful black woman. Continued blessing to you. Also, will you be getting hot cocoa and beige lipglosses back on your website?
This vid was very helpful and encouraging! My only concern with Temping would be job security, but it over-all sounds exciting! Sounds like everyday has a new challenge. Also seems like a quick way to pay off some loans. :P
Make sure you keep track of your mileage and your work purchases (keep reciepts) so you can write those things off at the end of the year if you're getting a 1099.
Yesss thank you gurlllll !!!! Graduate next year and cannot wait to start this career! Thank you for being so informative and open about our career 🙌❤️
Thank you so much for pouring all of those information about temping Tajah! 💕You’re amazing! Love you and love your content. 🥰 So as a temp.. have you ever had one employee from any of those offices ask you how much is the doctor paying you? Because I feel some will do and it’s kind of uncomfortable to speak about it especially that you’re definitely getting more than they are. How do you answer professionally?
I work in a dental office and I am in charge of getting the Temps in. I have heard horror stories from temps where they offered to work as an independent contractor rather than a through a temp agency... and they never got paid or they have been paid less than agreed. Be careful! Also, Kwikly dental is awesome for dental offices and hygineists from what I have experienced.
I loved this video. Thank you !!! My dream career since I was in high school was to always be a Dentist meaning go to dental medical school and complete my residency etc. However, I decided to not take the route because I honestly hated school and didn’t want to prolong me in staying in school. (At that moment I rather go to school for 4 year rather than 10+ years). Now the problem is Iv’e always knew about dental hygienist because I felt like it was some thing that would best suit me because dental hygienist isn’t going to school for too long compared to a dentist and I would still be in the dental field. I just graduated from college last year with my B.A. health administration and now I’m going through regrets because I knew that I wanted to become a dental hygienist but didn’t act on it and I don’t really know what to do now I kind of feel like it’s too late I should’ve have been a dental hygienist much sooner and I should’ve took all the prereqs while being a undergrad but didn’t. It’s a-lot of bad decisions I made ugh. 🥺😩
Hey girl! Thanks 🙏🏾. This video was very informative. I’m waiting to see if I’m accepted into the dental hygiene program coming this fall. I didn’t realize travel hygienist was a thing. It’s definitely something I would love to do. Love your videos. Keep up the great work ❤️
i’m about to be a new graduate registered nurse this August and girl I wish there was a freaking app we could just pick up shifts at random places because these traveling agencies are just not it
i did too for about 3-4 months after i finished my dental assistant program, felt stuck but i just applied to b in a hygienist program , manifesting i got in lol but just tryna inspire u to go for it!
Good Video as always 😻Super Cute Thumbnail Tho😻 Beyond Pretty you are Ur Makeup always on Point 😚Nice Cheeks Structure😚 Happy MarvelouS Week Too 😇Stay Bless N Be Safe ALWAYS😇
I love these videos. I’m a dental hygiene student on my final year (in Jamaica) and no m still trying to figure out whether I’m to stay local, go overseas or even do my masters. #stressed
I am currently a temp hygienist in Dallas, TX and I love it! Initially, I would be nervous about going to different offices as a black woman but I have had way more good experiences than bad. Is it Cusp dental app?
I work at a dental office and my dad was a dentist who passed a few years ago. I’ve been trying to get into the program for 3 years now. Way too many applicants to compete with. But I would like to add that there are local group pages where offices are asking for temps. It avoids the agency fees and the hygienist gets paid more than what the agency pays sometimes. The offices usually tell you how they schedule patients and if they use eaglesoft or dentrix. This way you have an idea what you’re getting into lol.
All the full time dental hygienists in Austin area are making 50-70$hr. Lots of locations offering completely flexible schedules. Seems like there's no need to make less than $50 an hour unless you in some small rural city
What’s your advice for students just graduating dental hygiene school, that are interested in becoming a temp/travel hygienist? Do you think we should work with a corporate office before going into that?
You are lovely by the way! Dental hygienist offer a very valuable highly skilled service. I practiced for about 10 years after leaving the field to tend to family problems with aging parents. I was also licensed in oral anesthesia here in Oregon. and I have a lot of dentist calling me asking me to come back to help.. I am older now.. early 50's. I am healthy and my kids are now grown so I think I am going to renew my license and temp a day or two a week. Your community needs you.. and we are true healthcare providers. As I am also a Functional Nutritional Medicine Practitioner.. digestion begins in the brain, next the mouth.. but your oral microbiome also affects your intestinal microbiome and I promise you.. everything is connected and yes.. your mouth can tell you a lot about the overall health of your other organs.
@@being.bonnie Girl think no further do it, either way you put it ull be in the medical field and can't go wrong. You can be a travel nurse as well and get contracted for positions and can make lots of 🤑🤑. You have the best of both worlds, I say do DH. I'm going to look into it to and specialize in pediatric I've been working with children all my life...🤣🤣🤣
@@loveeelianny4085 yea, so for university I did part loans/out of pocket but used the bare minimum loans I did work full time while in school(do not advise)but I was better off than some classmates who depend on a refund check and that’s all.
Hey guys! Hope you’re having an amazing week, if you would like to know more info about the app Dm me on IG I can share the app name there 🤍

I start mine in August too!!!
me too! good luck!
There are multiple temping agencies such as TempMee, Dental Dynamic Staffing, North American Dental Group, and Team Placement Services😊. I currently work North American Dental group and I’m a new grad🥰
Good information sis. For your back, wear a waist trainer. I have a spine injury & I can tell a difference when I wear my waist trainer & when I don’t. It really helps support my back.
Hey girlie, thanks for the video!❤ I’m looking into becoming a dental hygienist but don’t where to start. Can you please make a video about applying for dental hygienist school, the cost, what you did to become one but over all congratulations girlie you’re an inspiration to this society 🥹👏🙌❤️❤️
Hey, Tajah my love, I enjoyed this video Because My dream is becoming a dental hygienist, and girl when I tell you I cant wait I can not wait, I believe that I can and girl. You've inspired me in so many ways throughout my life. You taught me the value of a strong work ethic and a positive attitude in the face of hardship. But, I was thinking of starting as an assistant and move up but, I'm still thinking (Tips please ? )
Such a great video, thank you so much!
Drums plz and the Dental hygienist of the year award goes to Tajah Ferjuste🎉🎊👏🏽👏🏽
Hi Tajah! I absolutely love watching your videos. Your spirit and energy is so amazing to me, not to mention.. you are such a beautiful black woman. Continued blessing to you. Also, will you be getting hot cocoa and beige lipglosses back on your website?
This vid was very helpful and encouraging! My only concern with Temping would be job security, but it over-all sounds exciting! Sounds like everyday has a new challenge. Also seems like a quick way to pay off some loans. :P
Make sure you keep track of your mileage and your work purchases (keep reciepts) so you can write those things off at the end of the year if you're getting a 1099.
I graduated from the dental hygiene program last month. Thank you for inspiring me! So grateful for you! 💜💜
Congratulations!! 🎓
@@carolynp6386 Thank you!! 💜
Is the biology course intense or is pretty decent? I’m curious to know.
I agree with Makayla: temping is like dating (check er’THANG out before committing)
Yesss thank you gurlllll !!!! Graduate next year and cannot wait to start this career! Thank you for being so informative and open about our career 🙌❤️
I really enjoyed your video, could you create one about dental hygiene clinical program, what to expect and also study habits/tips for school?
I love all your videos! Keep them coming. Especially the DH ones since I’m currently a 2nd DH student. I graduate this up coming year.
Very informational ❤️I enjoyed this video 🙂
Thank you so much for pouring all of those information about temping Tajah! 💕You’re amazing! Love you and love your content. 🥰
So as a temp.. have you ever had one employee from any of those offices ask you how much is the doctor paying you? Because I feel some will do and it’s kind of uncomfortable to speak about it especially that you’re definitely getting more than they are. How do you answer professionally?
I work in a dental office and I am in charge of getting the Temps in. I have heard horror stories from temps where they offered to work as an independent contractor rather than a through a temp agency... and they never got paid or they have been paid less than agreed. Be careful! Also, Kwikly dental is awesome for dental offices and hygineists from what I have experienced.
I love all your content girl 😚
Your video inspire me sooo much.💗
I loved this video. Thank you !!!
My dream career since I was in high school was to always be a Dentist meaning go to dental medical school and complete my residency etc. However, I decided to not take the route because I honestly hated school and didn’t want to prolong me in staying in school. (At that moment I rather go to school for 4 year rather than 10+ years).
Now the problem is Iv’e always knew about dental hygienist because I felt like it was some thing that would best suit me because dental hygienist isn’t going to school for too long compared to a dentist and I would still be in the dental field. I just graduated from college last year with my B.A. health administration and now I’m going through regrets because I knew that I wanted to become a dental hygienist but didn’t act on it and I don’t really know what to do now I kind of feel like it’s too late I should’ve have been a dental hygienist much sooner and I should’ve took all the prereqs while being a undergrad but didn’t. It’s a-lot of bad decisions I made ugh. 🥺😩
im having the exact issue right now. im stuck because i’m 3/4 of the way done w my bachelors but I want to be a dental hygienist ):
@@fannysanchez6774 yeah that was my problem. I was already nearly done with B.A. so I had no choice.
Do it! Just keep going 😉
Hey girl! Thanks 🙏🏾. This video was very informative. I’m waiting to see if I’m accepted into the dental hygiene program coming this fall. I didn’t realize travel hygienist was a thing. It’s definitely something I would love to do. Love your videos. Keep up the great work ❤️
i’m about to be a new graduate registered nurse this August and girl I wish there was a freaking app we could just pick up shifts at random places because these traveling agencies are just not it
I took a break from dental but everytime I watch your videos you got me wanting to get back to it 😫
Go ahead and finish. You got this 😄🙌🏾
i did too for about 3-4 months after i finished my dental assistant program, felt stuck but i just applied to b in a hygienist program , manifesting i got in lol but just tryna inspire u to go for it!
On diem is a good temp agency for dental hygienist. They help with insurance, PTO, etc
Very informative video! Do you mind dropping the name of the app? 😌
Good Video as always

Thank you so much this was very Informative
Do you feel that body pain is a big issue while you work? Is it something that makes you temp ?
Honey, you are the greatest!!! I love your videos!! What is the name of that app?????
This was a great video thank you
I love these videos. I’m a dental hygiene student on my final year (in Jamaica) and no m still trying to figure out whether I’m to stay local, go overseas or even do my masters. #stressed
go overseas! explore the world doing what you love
Did you start off as a hygienist or did you do dental assisting first?... also love the natural makeup look on you!
Loving Your Vlogs
Lovely Hair
Pretty Face
Stunning Makeup
Hey Tara! Love you channel. I’m a RDH too I have days when I can temp when my main office is closed . What’s the app for temping ??
I finished nursing school but I’ll still watch 😊
This is amazing advice.
Ok in the beginning I thought I was watching a skin care beauty commercial . Lmaoo super beautiful
I am currently a temp hygienist in Dallas, TX and I love it! Initially, I would be nervous about going to different offices as a black woman but I have had way more good experiences than bad. Is it Cusp dental app?
What temp app are you using? Thanks
@@Nicole-ge9vh I work for a temp agency.
Hi im a temp in Dallas as well!! I think she’s talking about cloud.
@@LineiaMouton Thanks for responding. I’m sure she’s going to mention it in another video but I had to ask 😂.
@@melissag0448 Thanks for responding.
I work at a dental office and my dad was a dentist who passed a few years ago. I’ve been trying to get into the program for 3 years now. Way too many applicants to compete with. But I would like to add that there are local group pages where offices are asking for temps. It avoids the agency fees and the hygienist gets paid more than what the agency pays sometimes. The offices usually tell you how they schedule patients and if they use eaglesoft or dentrix. This way you have an idea what you’re getting into lol.
See, that’s what discourages me. I don’t have 3 years to get into a program 😩. Are they giving feedback as to why? Or is it simply too many ppl?
Hoping to get accepted! I currently hold a bachelors in biology
All the full time dental hygienists in Austin area are making 50-70$hr. Lots of locations offering completely flexible schedules. Seems like there's no need to make less than $50 an hour unless you in some small rural city
What do you suggest for saving up for retirement?
What’s your advice for students just graduating dental hygiene school, that are interested in becoming a temp/travel hygienist? Do you think we should work with a corporate office before going into that?
u help me a lot, thank you :)
You are lovely by the way! Dental hygienist offer a very valuable highly skilled service. I practiced for about 10 years after leaving the field to tend to family problems with aging parents. I was also licensed in oral anesthesia here in Oregon. and I have a lot of dentist calling me asking me to come back to help.. I am older now.. early 50's. I am healthy and my kids are now grown so I think I am going to renew my license and temp a day or two a week. Your community needs you.. and we are true healthcare providers. As I am also a Functional Nutritional Medicine Practitioner.. digestion begins in the brain, next the mouth.. but your oral microbiome also affects your intestinal microbiome and I promise you.. everything is connected and yes.. your mouth can tell you a lot about the overall health of your other organs.
Oral anesthesia? What did you do ? Crna work
I am a Licensed Dental Hygienist, CFMNP, DNH. Hygenist are licensed to give anesthesia in the mouth in Oregon. @@bigdank4541
Thank you for the info!
Gworllll! 65$ an hour let me quit this job tomorrow and head to DH school🦷🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣🏃🏾♀️ ....lmbo...love your content boo...Be Bless!! 🙏🏾❤️
Lol! Right😂
Right!!! Lemme find my nearest community college
@@being.bonnie yesss sis..lol🤣
@@oliviajae I’ve been debating if I should go back to school for nursing or DH
@@being.bonnie Girl think no further do it, either way you put it ull be in the medical field and can't go wrong. You can be a travel nurse as well and get contracted for positions and can make lots of 🤑🤑. You have the best of both worlds, I say do DH. I'm going to look into it to and specialize in pediatric I've been working with children all my life...🤣🤣🤣
what is the app that you use to temp?
Hey y'all just graduated as a hygienist from a university in NC!!
Starting NOW is 45-55 for a hygienist
Congratulations 🎊❤
Hi, can you please tell me if you paid out of pocket for dental hygienist school or how you did it 🙂↕️
@@loveeelianny4085 yea, so for university I did part loans/out of pocket but used the bare minimum loans I did work full time while in school(do not advise)but I was better off than some classmates who depend on a refund check and that’s all.
