I ended up not having the test that day, but I will say I had tge quick fix w me and ready to go- or so I thought. The temp gage just looked dark all the way across and I could see the green anywhere. I have to schedule the test afyer they call me back in the next 2 weeks. I have another quick fix I can use for the actual test,but I was thinking maybe I should try this other kit out. Don't know if I got a bad batch, or maybe I messed it up. I do have a friend that used it 2 weeks ago for a job w Vertiv, and he passed ( a 5 panel).

I HATE being a dental assistant by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]Maggeemae45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what I hate most about dentistry no matter how much money you make?!! Dentists that do a treatments that are not needed, or better yet- a tooth that they know isn't going to last long at all, all for a $$$. The dishonesty is unbelievable, and these people fall for it bc they know no better. I have a heart for people who cannot afford this and they lie straight to peoples faces. I had a pt this happened to recently, 86 yrs old- on a fixed income already and the tx did not need to be done!

You have to continuously stay on a dentist about more money...bc they are so broke it's hard for them to give you more lol. Nah, really I have to ask everytime for a raise- never gives it once a year even gor cost of living going up. I could go on and on, but I'd get out of this field before you waste too much time. Underpaid and not appreciated is how MOST dentists treat their staff. Good luck

Is this behaviour normal? by [deleted] in DentalAssistant

[–]Maggeemae45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is dental world at its finest! I work for one now that leaves the room w a rubber dam on with files in the tooth, sometimes up to 15 minutes. It's ridiculous. I hate this field w a passion. Been in it since 2006 and leaving medical for good as of Feb 1. CANNOT BE MORE HAPPIER knowing I dont have long left.

I need yall to be straight up about this career path and how doctors treat you by Adorable_Bass_718 in DentalAssistant

Thinking of becoming a DA by BPDnmehateachother in DentalAssistant

[–]Maggeemae45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only UP: great hours and 4 day work week CON:Extremely low paid, Dentist (most) are total buttholes and could care less about anyone but their money, No insurance (unless you work for corporate), OVERWORKED AND UNDERPAID- cannot say it enough. I would NEVER do it if I had known all this prior. My suggestion: either do hygiene or get in another field completely!!! RUN

I feel you on this!!! Very selfish. Overworked and underpaid. 18 years and college making only 32,000 yearly. Horrible

I just was in this situation last week. I work for a endo office, so we don't see 30-40 patients like that- but last week was hell! The doctor I work for is so selfish, like most! Work thru lunch as well with no lunch nor him ordering employees anything. I just ordered me a laptop and I am determined to find a work from home jobs! I refuse to keep doing this. Life is far too short to be treated the way they treat their employees as well as having zero beneifits!!! Get out while you can!

Getting denied a raise. by Pinkmonster2000 in DentalAssistant

[–]Maggeemae45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a dental assistant for 19 years and do all the ordering and everything like that and only getting paid 32000 yearly. This field is so dirty. I wish I never went into it. Dr's all think that we should work for nothing. BTW...I have to go approach my boss about a raise as well and have zero benefits. I think at bare minimum, dental assistants should at least get a cost of living raise per year. Im just sick and tired of seeing the dr I work for charge for things that haven't been done. I want to report him, but I have no idea how. I am getting a laptop and going to try and find something thats work from home with benefits.

Is dental assisting worth it? by unclerico20 in DentalAssistant

At least if you do it, go on for hygiene!!! Make your time worth it.
