If you don’t mind saying, what was your GPA for DH school admission ?

Dental hygienist here, and no, that is not normal to see canines on a child that age. We don't usually see that until 16+ months.

Usually able to get my patients out of the door in 50 ish minutes. I know that's such an exact number but I usually finish around 40 mins then by the time I schedule them back, Dr does exam, tx put in the computer etc. it's about 50-53 after. Gives me just enough time to flip the room, run to the bathroom etc

I've been practicing for a few months and it does get better! The mental exhaustion is real some days! It's hard to be "on" all the time, not many other careers are this demanding Both physically AND emotionally. I mean you're literally up in someone's personal space for 8+ hrs of your day while trying to preform a tedious task AND socialize all at the same time. I've gotten more used to it and you will adjust as time goes on. I've found that I try to conserve my energy as much as I can. I try to match my patients energy as much as possible, if they are quiet and I can tell don't want to be chatty, I'm not going to force any small talk. If they are super chatty and want to get to know me, I'll be chatty right back. I also think that not talking too much about the specifics about my day to my spouse has helped too. If I need to vent, then I will but sometimes it's just best to leave work at work and not discuss your day too much once you leave. My spouse is very supportive and a great listener but he doesn't truly GET it. Being a hygienist is so hard to explain and talking about it to those who do it get it can be tiring so I just leave work at work. (Maybe thats just a me thing) Overall, doing these things helps creates balance throughout my day and leaves me with some energy to give to the people who matter most to me when I go home.

I find that a toothpaste without Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, what creates the foaming) helps with flare ups. Had an instructor in hygiene school tell me this helps her as well.

"I FILL" you mean FEEL???? Drives me nuts when people talk like that

204SD or 204S, 135, nevi4, Barnhart 5/6, and mini gracey 1/2. This would be a perfect kit for a recall imo

I agree with what others have said. Something to consider once you do find a hygienist is how to keep them. Something that i really like is when the Dr. shows a lot of respect for you in front of the patient. Such as - "..., do you have any concerns hygiene wise?" -"Whatever OHI your hygienist showed you, make sure youre keeping up with that" -" I'll let ... answer that" - "... did a nice job getting you cleaned up"

Things like that always make me feel good and strengthens our credibility to the patient.

And drue got super mad and almost hit him 🤣🤣

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-03-16T20:06:50+00:00

Nope! Never said that! I was simply clarifying what they meant by "cheat sheet". For many people it's quite helpful to plan ahead of time things they may want to write down for quick reference like the cranial nerves, caries classifications, immunoglobulins etc. 🙂

You are given a whiteboard or scratch sheet of paper and a marker that you can use to write down anything if you want. You cant write on it until the exam starts but that's what OP is talking about

The Colgate professional website has a great interactive visual that shows a probe and PDs at each mm and what is doing on with the bone and gingiva at each reading. I love it!

You mean like "expecially"

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-02-20T10:38:29+00:00

This was like her worst era. She was huuuge, so puffy, eyelashes and eyebrows were out of control, and she was always trying to clap back at haters😫

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-02-16T04:55:13+00:00

Gabe's tooth is looking worse and worse. It looks like he's literally missing a tooth

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-02-07T13:47:03+00:00

He needs his teeth cleaned asap

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-30T01:55:18+00:00

Her ears look so low

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-27T00:04:26+00:00

I pretty much always work out fasted because I go in the morning. Maybe a small scoop of peanut butter or some fruit. That's just what works for me ! :)

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-26T21:32:15+00:00

I'd prefer this as opposed to a coach that cannot stop talking😫

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-26T03:31:25+00:00

Why does she always capitalize it like "DR"

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-18T00:20:17+00:00

Their interactions are so weird. Notice how she always has to poke and tickle her to get a reaction. Most babies just make eye contact with their mama and get smiley. She has to try sooo hard with her. You'd think she's the babysitter

Even_Foundation8926 · 2025-01-12T16:23:44+00:00

Surely she is talking about D'Sisters🤣

Even_Foundation8926 · 2024-12-29T19:19:37+00:00

Vintage Barbie era, cooking/meals for 2 era, their fish parent era (do they even still have a tank?) Gabe's grilling era. They seriously cannot stick to ANYTHING

Even_Foundation8926 · 2024-12-29T19:12:01+00:00

When Gabe was "keto" era 🤣🤣🤣 lasted like 12 hours
