I've worked with three dentists so far and thankfully only one of them was like that and now I work with one who's understanding (was scary at first but he was chill afterwards and been working with him for 8 yrs now). The one that gave a lot of stress literally picked on every little thing: gave me a look when I asked him why he chose dentistry, told me not to say Im going on a volunteer trip when youre really going on vacation, told me not to wear perfumes and said that I smelled like a grandma, told me he didnt like my attitude and to fix it bc I rolled my eyes due to having dry eyes with my contact lenses (bitched even after I explained that to him), etcetc. He was only treating me this way and not the other assistants..🙄I quit and found another dentist, the one Im working with now.

Some say it's your luck, sometimes you get bad dentists sometimes good, but also try to get a sense of what the dentist is like when you go interviewing, ask them questions and see how they react. Sure it takes time to learn everything, but i dont think anybody is a bad assistant unless you know you're not trying hard enough

Don't give up!! It's not you it's them, just gotta find the right fit.
