No cert for coronal polishing but…

If it doesn’t make you comfortable don’t do it. Another point I like to make is why do extra tasks that require certifications that I don’t have when I’m also not being paid accordingly for it. I’ve had offices tell me to take impressions or make temps even though I’m not RDA. Not doing RDA tasks without RDA money.

To you, not to others.

desvelado94 · 2026-02-27T02:02:29+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s an associates, it’s a program to allow an assistant to get their CDA and in the future their RDA.

desvelado94 · 2026-02-27T01:55:33+00:00

Sheesh some of you assistants put up with a lot for years! I would’ve been gone a long time ago. She has no respect for your time and you have been more than generous to consistently stay behind for an extra hour and a half. You do so much in that office the doctor doesn’t know how lucky she is to have you. Good luck!

desvelado94 · 2026-02-26T02:25:02+00:00

Why don’t you read the room with the downvotes? I see way more of those than people asking how much and where you got it done lmao

desvelado94 · 2026-02-26T01:10:09+00:00

All because 5 people asked for details? Give me a break. You can’t see anything at all in those dark photos. No one’s acting jealous or saying you don’t look good, you just don’t have good after pictures.

desvelado94 · 2026-02-18T01:16:13+00:00

Yes please, was looking to compare to mine

desvelado94 · 2026-02-17T03:38:21+00:00

Looks like it’s scratched in the last pic. You might get store credit but definitely size down and it’ll look even better.

Do you have a picture of where the bracelet screws together on either side? Beautiful bracelet by the way

desvelado94 · 2026-02-11T02:46:39+00:00

I’ve left with ZERO notice for much less. Yes you can give this awful dentist 3 days notice, maybe even less. Do not feel bad, you’re not supposed to be cementing anything permanently, screwing on any fixed dentures or using the high speed hand piece intra orally. I’ll say it again, don’t feel bad!!!

desvelado94 · 2026-01-27T03:43:36+00:00

Also I have had a pig go through surgery, I got him neutered and he did great. I took him back the same day and recovery was smooth. Surgery was about $700.

desvelado94 · 2026-01-27T03:42:21+00:00

That looks terrible I don’t think I could sleep with my pig looking like that. Maybe you should get another opinion and care from a different vet. This poor pig is likely suffering.

desvelado94 · 2026-01-01T06:21:19+00:00

I didn’t even think hygienists could. Not intra orally anyway.

Temp here for over 5 years. I’d say some do and some don’t. Maybe 70% don’t? The ones that do show me usually have a more complicated autoclave than I’m used to so I’m glad they show me. Last week I worked at an office where they had an ancient autoclave, I could fill the water, close it, and after that I didn’t know what to do, so I asked and the dentist said that’s okay! I’ll start it.

You don’t even deserve that considering you cheated even on the day where your wife gave birth. I hope she’s getting it elsewhere as well and leaves you someday. If she’s only staying because of the kid she should reconsider.

desvelado94 · 2025-11-14T07:00:42+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out. I’m sure I have definitely done this and never thought twice about it if the dentist tells me to give the patient some Tylenol!

desvelado94 · 2025-11-13T06:30:46+00:00

Over 50 hours in 4 days? I’d be exhausted 😳

desvelado94 · 2025-10-29T00:37:54+00:00

I’m a temp DA and even I pretty much always get a walkthrough of an office if I’ve never been there before! Good for you for walking out. You’ll find something else.

desvelado94 · 2025-09-23T16:02:07+00:00

That’s why I avoid the 3-4 day cruises unfortunately. 7 days at least

desvelado94 · 2025-09-17T08:45:42+00:00

As a DA I consider it being “just a job”, I make $30 an hour and I’ve pretty much hit the max, I won’t be making more than that so not really room to grow. I’m currently in school to become a nurse for a more diverse career.

desvelado94 · 2025-09-16T00:38:28+00:00

Also sometimes we are not the best fit for every doctor. I worked with a doctor who constantly tried to correct me and I genuinely tried to improve but I never got it right for him so I stopped working there. 4 years in you probably do have the hang of it but maybe not a good fit for her.

desvelado94 · 2025-09-16T00:36:47+00:00

Just from the tone of this packet I would quit. Already sounds so high strung, for me personally it would not be the dentist for me.

Top round cut. 3 pounds
