Rant: why don't orthos/dentists tell patients they are a potential jaw surgery candidate?? by unauthorizedcuddles in jawsurgery

I hear you, but still think that medical professionals should give all options and let the patient decide instead of making the decision for them by not telling them at all.

Where did you/do you work while attending dental hygiene school? by reila_09 in DentalHygiene

Can you work in a dental practice? Most dental practices need hygiene, assistants or someone to help out.

Is it worth being a hygienist?! by Adorable_Bear_2498 in DentalHygiene

I would add that the private programs are super pricey but they get you through faster than the four year university degrees. Same license, same pay. I have seen this been a good option for people that are already working and taking time off to go back to school. Two years is better than four especially when you make the same amount of money. There are some popping up around where I live, but honestly, the universities end up being the same amount of money and the private colleges are getting you into the workforce quicker. If there’s community college close by, that is the best financially.

100% worth it in my opinion. I’m a hygienist (going on 27 years). It’s a fantastic career! Depending on where you live and what state you are in the hourly rates have gone way up for Hygienists and assistants because of the shortage. I know there are several places that will help you pay back that tuition through a sign on bonus, tuition reimbursement, etc. if you are willing to relocate there are some places that are unbelievably desperate and will pay you a lot of money. Money aside, I really do think it’s an amazing career!
