This was really comforting to watch because I am fresh out of school and don't know much so I've been a little hesitant on applying for jobs but this motivated me because it reminds me that mistakes are a part of growth so thanks for sharing

I’m a DA also when I was started I was praying every morning before I go to work I was scared 😱 I made mistakes but now I’m doing fine 😎 when I started I was stressed 😥 the doctor 👩🏽‍⚕️ was so mean to me now she call me every single time for help 🤗.

How long have you been assisting for now ? I'm brand new and I'm beginning to think maybe this job isn't for me.

I no longer work in the dental field, had a bb boy and am a stay at home mom now 🥰 I worked at BLVD Dentistry in Austin, it was quite a journey😅 thank you for making me feel less like I was the only one! I had a terrible team leader that had zero patience for first time RDA’s and mistakes 😬 so let’s just say I’m glad my time there is over 😄 praying for you girlie, rda’s have it hard .. but you’ll always have fun story’s to tell 😂

Ooo getting the perfect impression is so fun and satisfying! And awe! Its kinda like in greys anatomy, where sometimes the doctors have to ask the nurses about how to do things xD A new doctor asked me how to work the toffle meyer... and I didn’t know either 🙃

Great Video. But the story of the patient gagging from the topical gel is not the patient fault. There's a reason why Topical Gels are administered with a long quitip to ensure the gel doesn't go beyond the injected area. It feels like drowning when it goes back of the throat and so its important to not spread the gel around the mouth

Sorry, I should have made it clear that its not the patients fault. I know it is not ideAl for the pt to swallow the topical BUT when we’re putting gel in the IA block, it is also inevitable that the topical will reach their throat. Pt’s seem to be fine (don’t gag) when it reaches their throat and do not normally throw up 😅 that’s what I meant

Omg!!! XD hopefully he changed his scrub cap!!😂 One time the doctor has like three patients, and she just finished extracting a tooth and she had blood on her face shield... she didn’t notice and proceeded to do 2 exams with that blood on her face!! :o

Hi, I'm a Turk.I earned a dental assistant.My country's economy is about to sink from the deficit and taxes are too much.I didn't have a high idea of whether I could go abroad, and I jumped on youtube.I saw you.Do you have any idea about this? Plus, how are the salaries at the CA over there? for example, here the salaries are 3.2 k Turkish lira per month and the iphone 12 Pro max is 14,900 K Turkish Lira. :(((

If it was a tooth, why didn't it show up on xray? Even if you couldn't see the tooth on xray, you most certainly would have been able to see the root.

It twas a baby tooth that looked like it was being absorbed by the gums, it legit looked like a barley there radiolucent mass on the gums. I didn’t ask questions 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I don’t believe the tooth extraction story! A tooth with severe bone lost would not get their tooth put back into the socket ir makes no sense. I’m a dental hygienist btw… lol good stories tho !
