You’re so patient, I can’t handle someone being rude for no reason. I just give them the same vibe as they give me. Like if you don’t wanna be here then don’t come, I don’t need that unnecessary stress in my life.

You're such a kind and humble person, because of you I get ready to consult the dentist for my plaque

So many great tips! I’m an expanded functions assistant right now and I usually make it a point to explain every step of what I’m doing as I’m doing it. Also just offering simple gestures of kindness. I had a fairly rude new patient who was very difficult while getting her full-mouth x-rays, she was very irritated at how many images I had to take. An alarm went off on her phone and she said it was her reminder to take her medicine. I offered her some water to take her medicine so that she wouldn’t need to wait until after her appointment and she completely changed her attitude after that. She even said “oh well that was really nice of you”. Weird how something so simple and basic could change her attitude towards us.

I love how you said that some people have different fears put yourself in thier shoes. Not to judge. That makes you a good assistant.

I have always been nervous of the dentist my sister always used to come into the examination room with me because I was so nervous. I'm 21 now I do a little bit better now because i had braces when I was 17 and I always say to myself it's never going to be as uncomfortable as when they used to tighten the wires every time I went.

Man, you are an angel. I was much nicer when I was younger. But these days, I don’t like around anyone who tries to feast off of my energy. Likewise, whenever I’m going to get service of any kind, I go the extra mile and just try to shrug off minor annoyances. Well, I’m just hoping people like you get nice vacations whenever you want them so you can continue being as super as you are. People like me appreciate you. 👍🏻

I get so much anxiety just watching ur videos is rough but I am trying to watch and hope to relax

When I assisted, there were quite a few of these patients where I worked.

Is it weird I can’t stop staring at your amazing teeth? Helpful vids. Thank you

I was a “difficult patient” a few weeks ago while I was at my appointment for a root canal. I was so scared and anxious. When the Dr put the needle in the back of my mouth I pushed his hand out 🤦🏽‍♀️ I felt so had afterwards. The needle wasn’t as bad as I had reacted, I was being a big baby. Not a proud moment for me, I’m 30 😢 lol

Omg. I always fear that ill come across as rude when I ask too many questions, or if i question the necessity of a procedure. I hope all dentists understand that some of us patients dont know much about our teeth and what goes on in our mouths. As someone with permanent vision problems and mild tinnitus in my left ear, im always afraid that ill get ANOTHER chronic issue. This has left me extremely paranoid about my health. Unfortunately, even taking medicine with potential serious rare side-effects that will help me feel better, freaks me out. Or doing anything that will improve my health, like getting cavities filled. And since dentistry is a bit on the invasive side, I always fear something wrong might happen. Like an accidental movement from the dentist that may cause them to chip or damage my healthy teeth while working on a cavity. Or maybe my tongue movement might cause the dentists hand to slip. Or the dentist accidently working on the wrong tooth. Or anything else that might go wrong and cause me permanent damage. Also, my mom had a dentist that offered her a procedure that my mom agreed to do, but what they didnt mention to her was that they would have to shave down one of her healthy tooth. Something like that would freak.me.out. The thing is that i wouldnt even get mad at the dentist. I just would get EXTREMELY depressed. And i haaaaate that feeling. My health really gets to me. Im glad you all are understanding of the dental fears some of us have, but sometimes i fear that ill get a dentist who will take things personally because at the end of the day, dentists/hygenists are people. And, well, people come in all different shapes and personalities.

How I wish I lived in America so you could be my dental hygienist! 🤣🙌

Loved the video 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕but ....was secretly hoping you would have more re-enactments like in past videos ....They are hilarious

Can you do a video around veneers/lumineers surrounding what to know and if they damage your teeth in the long run?

Hi: Is it okay to floss soon after eating? Will flossing disrupt the re-mineralization process like brushing without waiting 30 + minutes after eating?

Have you ever disliked an office you worked in? I’m a new hygienist and I don’t know whether it’s my office - or the career path itself and I can’t even target WHY but I don’t enjoy being a hygienist 😞

I know I’m a difficult patient. I have a sensitive gag reflex and I get extremely anxious. I’m on medication for anxiety now, but I’m still choosing to go to a sedation dentist. May as well make it easier for all of us!

Where is the new studio!?

im terrified of needles, I just got 2 extractions and every time I got a needle I started shaking uncontrollably :( the dentists were really nice though and I felt ok after all the needles

Great video! I had my hygiene cleaning yesterday and there was a lot of blood and pain in my gums XD I was thinking throughout the process that I'm gonna floss all the time from now on and I flossed today for the first time in ages and it was fairly easy and quick because I had my cleaning yesterday :) Quick question when flossing do you floss both teeth on each side of the gum or just one tooth? Thank you

What do you think of TheraBreath mouthwash?

Hi, love the channel. I have major dental anxiety and I am getting some crowns in a couple of weeks. I decided to have IV sedation due to my paralyzing fear. Do you have any advice for me? Of course I have major needle phobia too ha.

can u do a video on how to deal with a rude dental hygienst please whitney

i have a new dental hygienst named Melanie she's so nice fun and she never once gave up on me my former dental hygienist did

Great content as always !!! May I ask what's your favorite tooth paste?! I was told most of them have sugar in it. Appreciate your help !!! 🙏😍👍

Oh boy, today I had so many difficult patients 😩😩

"We are 'rooting for you'.." lololol

God bless you all, God loves you All, and hope you all have an amazing day

I never had any problems going to the dentist in my life, I actually even enjoyed them. Recently I had to get some fillings and I know where people get the fear from lol

How

Dental assistant here. I work full time with a pediatric dentist and every now and then we get difficult parents. Most of the time we explain what their children are there for and after some time the parents feel reassured. We're able to help their kids and everything is normal but every now and then we get parents that are just plain rude (it's their way or no way) even though the doctor has explained everything to them. It's times like these that inside voice me is like, "F this I'm going to get the manager" The Dr. I work with already knows my serious face do when I leave the room so does she 🤣🤣. I enjoy my career let me clarify this, but I'm also about respect so I'd rather get the manager and keep my job than the other way around period

What does hygienist eat for lunch at the dentist? ☺☺

Liked number 2, stand back asses the situation. Kinda like rationality I spose :)

Can you please make a video on how to avoid cavity ... my cavity is started bout year ago but still hurts my pulp ... i brush twice a day but still i want more protection please 😢😢😢

Where do y'all look when y'all visit the dentist?. I feel awkward keeping my eyes open😂

Every time a patient tells me how much they are afraid of and hate the dentist, I ask them "then why are you afraid of and hate your toothbrush?"

gums r leaving my teeth what I can do for it. ??

You remind me a little of Shelley Duvall.

Are you from Minnesota or maybe Wisconsin ?

Love you whitney

I’m nervous but not rude

What state do you live in?

Smh 😑 its the opposite my dentist is so rude she ignores me and no talking to me at all she has favourite clients 😬😵

My trick is to kill them with kindness. The more rude they are they nicer I act. I’ve had a few rude patients that apologized to me after their appointments for being a different patient. It can be a lot sometimes but it works for me.

Please know all the excess PPE increases the anxiety in some people. We can no longer see the person. Providers have become nothing more than walking haz mat suits.

I’m getting a root canal April 16th I’m very scared I’ve been watching videos, and they say that the tooth may crack and you need a crown places after, I’m scared

You look like the actress from The Shining

One time my brother and I went to the dentist and he said he he did brush his teeth and got mad at the dentist 😂

Just had a difficult or special patient today lol

I have severe dental anxiety

When I was little my dentist would wrap me up like a burrito in what I now know is a papoose board cause I was a difficult patient. It traumatized me for years.

We are scared because it hurts! ✌️😳😩

Hey teeth talk girl does your dentist sell lollipops and candy?🍬🍬🍬🍬🍭

Yeah beautiful most big problem.

How to handle difficult people in life.

Yeah how about we don’t restrain our patients

Have you tried Weedborn CBD yet?

So preety😊

oh god i went to dentists other day i have to have local anethesa for my cleaning because im s extremly enstive to the cleaning didnt go well i screamed my lungs out when they were trying to give me the local anesthesia and it happens everytime

I got an idea if they give you a hard time say, " u do know I can accidentally damage your gums right??" Or , " if u don't stop you will know PAIN!!!!" How about " guess who is about to perform a root canal on your healthy teeth that don't even need one."
