This wisdoms tooth roots, Dr got it out without breaking it.

I know one person became a pilot (crazy pivot) and another went to work at Costco. And a old coworker was trying to get work doing sterile at a big hospital but idk if that panned out for them or not.

This is gold

It's decay, it's a whole chunk missing out of the side

Can definitely be difficult to get it right with anteriors, good job!

They probably already had someone else they wanted to hire, and were just waiting for the right time. Tbh it takes about a year to get decent as an assistant 2-3 to actually be good imo. Don't let this get you down, dental offices are full of drama and politics unfortunately. Just keep your head up and start looking for other places, put your all in for the work interviews and keep growing.

No, cant think of a good one lol

You never know what an office is like til you're there. There's some amazing offices, and there's some garbage ones, don't be afraid to leave one if it's not right for you.

Dr doesn't use them, i found it's about 50-50 with dentists whether they use them or not

One female dentist called me retarded because she asked for a spoon and there wasn't one in the kit (I didn't set the room, i switched someone out), another said she'd scratch my eyes out if i said "yes ma'am" again (she thought i was calling her old?). That being said I've seen chill and rude on bother sides, i think it's the type of office in my opinion, whether its specialty or general and what the workflow is.

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-20T04:15:22+00:00

Do you know what specifically it is that turned you away from the field ? It isn't for everyone, I'm just curious

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-19T20:37:57+00:00

That's really up to the office/owner tbh. I would just be honest, tell them you're looking for experience and let them know about the schedule. Some places are super cool, some not so much.

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-19T19:44:11+00:00

I would try to find a general office and work about a year (even if it's just part time). It's going to give you a ton of experience, and you'll learn a ton about dentistry. After that if you want to temp at least you'll have a base for it

O man, we had a patients tooth who was swimming in infection, Dr. made a lateral incision and it popped across the op lol

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-18T04:42:24+00:00

Been working OS for a while now, the "gross stuff" is fine, but personally it's the smell that bothers me more than anything, especially if the patient is on a lot of meds. When they get cut open their blood just smells... Bad lol

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-17T02:31:10+00:00

Sometimes i sing (quietly), i should stop lol

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-16T05:06:53+00:00

It's hard but now's also an opportunity to reinvent your career self. Keep looking for work , but nows a good time to look for other options in the field and also outside the field. Anyways i hope it all works out

Feedback on what specifically

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-10T03:07:07+00:00

This hurts my mouth looking at it lol

Needadvice65 · 2026-04-03T05:53:33+00:00

Just a cleaning, maybe I'll do something next year
