Hang in there. U will be ok

dont be deterred it gets better once you get the hang of it

Oh wow, how long have you been a dental assistant for?? And what made you pick endo? I’m glad I didn’t give up either. Things are looking up here :3 I forsure will keep praying 🙏🏽

@@MelanieLunaDiaz 6 months ! I just graduated highschool, I took the dental assisting course my junior and senior year. My teacher said I was doing very well in the endo chapter we were learning and she reached out to an Endodontist and got me the job from there! I did my internship there and as soon as I was done with school, they hired me full-time!The Dr. I work for can be hard to work with at times because he gets frustrated a lot & takes it out on the assistants which sucks... But I try not to take it to heart. I just recently assisted in my first apicoectomy & he's been telling me i've been doing great ! So I am really grateful I didn't quit. There were days I'd just cry or be so mentally and physically exhausted I just couldn't do anything else but it's definitely a challenge but I push through everyday and try to give my patients the BEST care possible!🦷🙌🏼 From one dental sis to another, your doing great! I love your videos ❤️ Keep pushing!

Thank you for your support:) and yes, when I started my channel my goal was always to bring people close to God ^.^ and awe yes don’t worry! God will put things into place that will make any future transition for you as smooth as butter ❤️

Yes, honestly that’s all you can do in those tour of situations. I’m sorry you’re going through that. But these experiences shape us and help us be more appreciative once we get to a better place 💕 God bless 🙏🏽

Thanks Andrea! And congratulations 🎉 praying that God will lead you to your dream job ❤️

I’m glad there’s a happy ending for u!

@@MelanieLunaDiaz thank you. I ve been a assistant for prosth ododic, perio, endo, oral surgeon, general dentist

@@68pointbreak wow :o which one did you like better? Cx

@@MelanieLunaDiaz Prosthodontic. We spend the day putting in teeth and the patients leave happy. Didn't have to deal with much blood either. Lol

Awe :( I say just tell them why you need to leave and with plenty of notice so that they have time to look for people.

Hey y’all update I got the job and it’s awesome 😎

Wow, did the front office mind helping? My manager has been helping me some times but she says she shouldn’t have to and that I need to pick up the pace with cleaning even though once I’m done With a procedure I already have to get the next patient seated 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@MelanieLunaDiaz I'm sure they weren't fans, but I explained to the doc that I was on the verge of getting burned out. He understood and asked how they could help to make sure I wasn't stressed. It was also always expressed that it was only temporary until we got another assistant. They did pretty well since they were given an option to choose who it would be.

It’s really great that they helped you not feel burnt out! Over here we only have two front office and the manageris the only one Who can help back here but she choses not to most of the time ;-; oh 🐳

Thanks for watching! And LOL “super new baby DA” LOVE THAT 👶🏻 ❤️ But yeah tbh in General dentistry , even at 6 months I was still learning something new every day because you do so many things and you don’t do them enough times in General that you constantly have to re-learn things as they come up. With the endodontic practice that I’m at right now, it took me 3 months to feel comfy bc that is all that we were doing. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I’d say for General it would take a good year to feel comfy -Praying for u ❤️

Wow! Props to you for sticking to it :) having the right atmosphere and environment really makes a difference. And thanks for the advice 🥰

How much do you get paid working at a private dental office if you don’t mind me asking ?

@@merabb494 I get paid $20 an hour

That’s great! Our doc likes to do them mostly in one appointment slot BUT we JUST got a sterilization tech so things are really starting to look up :)

Thank you! And yes I just have to keep reminding myself of that

Ooof girl I know just how you feel. It can feel overwhelming. I recommend to get a small notebook you can take around the office, and write down the procedures and things you have to remember.

@@MelanieLunaDiaz my dentist told me not to bring a notebook in and just observe. Funny thing is I have ADHD so I actually rely on my notes but I guess that’s how she works. The other DA literally is no help, she’ll literally tell me one thing and then tell me it’s wrong like it’s just so hard.

Floor supervisor for dental assistants??

Thank you for this :) I know it wasn’t exactly their fault that I was the only assistant, since my coeworker not being there anymore was extremely unexpected .-. Now we have TWO other assistants so my workload has been relieved alot! :D and I am so glad that you found a position you like :)

Props to u 👏🏼 yall were understaffed as well??

@@MelanieLunaDiaz yes ma’am big time! We were a new office and they were hiring literally anybody and they would stay for like a week and then never show back up it was awful. I ended up leaving because they changed my hours to the point I would’ve been getting more hours working at a fast food place (no disrespect to anybody who works in the food industry).

Oh dang! It misses have been really bad for them not to be able to keep an assistant:o but glad you got out of that toxic place 👍🏽

I haven’t gotten accepted into hygiene school yet bc I’m still doing my pre reqs /).(\ so I’m just doing 1-2 classes a semester on Fridays

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about the on the DAILY 😬 I really like general, but I would forget alot of things which would cause me alot of anxiety. I really like pouring models and working by myself... so maybe ortho? But they don’t pay as good as endo

She's only honest and we have to know what being a dental assistant is like. So we can prepare to deal the A hole doctors and Karens.

If I leave, I would just look for another dental job until I graduate from hygiene school :3 and THANK YOU :) we shall see, idk when the world will go back to normal xD

Yea we never know when is going back to normal but hope it will soon

They gave me a raise at my 3 months and then they will give me one every year :)

@@MelanieLunaDiaz im happy to hear that! It works a little bit different in Australia. You dont automatically get payrises yearly. you have to prove your worth after years and if you dont ask you dont receive =/

Not in the slightest 🙌🏽
