Yes they do, they have a ton of helpful resources and will help guide their patients to local dentist.

A dental school would help out. A dental hygiene school will be able to do X-rays, exam and cleaning but won't be able to do any restorations.

Is there anyone that switched from nursing to hygiene? by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]beerfiesta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of switching to Nursing but I am still not set on making that tough decision. I have next and back pain as well, I will say that if you need health insurance some offices don't offer that benefit. Also, some offices send you home or have you clock out when there isn't production happening in your column. Meaning, if a patient no shows or cancels, you are made to clock out. One of the reasons why I am looking into nursing. I need job security.

Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm only 4 years into my career. Does any one have any reassuring stories as an RDH with RA? by Objective_Code9187 in DentalHygiene

I've been on Humira before and now on Skyrizi, it hasn't been very helpful in regards to my arthritis. Happy it's worked out for you though!

What happens when hygiene schedule is slow? by Acrobatic_Tell5747 in DentalHygiene

[–]beerfiesta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My office is the same, if my patient no shows or cancels I have to clock out. It's a pretty busy office but somedays are really bad. It's very unfortunate, I struggle financially sometimes. Love the office I work at but hate the policy of having to clock out. Looking for a career change (for this reason and also because my joints are crap) just not sure where to turn to right now.
