2023.06.01 03:51 Bobaboi4u Making a decision about complete pre-requisite
Hello everyone, hope I can get some insight about the big decision of transferring with final goal is dental school or dental hygienist program.
I am a third year student about to finish my senior year at a small private school. Through my three year here I didn't learn much. Not even the fundamental concept of chemistry or biology. I did alright though, maybe due to the curriculum at my school not rigorous, or it is but I found a cheat way to pass the exam/ requirements (not cheating, just simply short term memory rather than an in depth understand like few of my classmates, and for essay components, finish all the assignment they ask for). As my final end goal is to become a dentist or in the dentistry field (which could be vary area but. at the moment, just a general dentist or hygienist), I face the fear of being a fake, which means I have passed class, get As and Bs but in the end I have no skills nor knowledge to be sufficient study at higher level like at dental or grad school. I know that in dental school we'll go through material again but at the greater and indepth pace and thus exp at undergrad is ready for this despite it not great (as in you not learn much). Anyway this forward to my decision of transfer to other school that known for their rigorous or "better" teaching in pre-requisite in compare to my school you kinda have limited option. As of the moment I have three options:

Anyway this forward to my decision of transfer to other school that known for their rigorous or "better" teaching in pre-requisite in compare to my school you kinda have limited option. As of the moment I have three options:
- Finish current school and graduate with 1-2 prerequisite need to take elsewhere. This options have free school but "bad" as in limited class, inexperience prof (but might be a pros for easy high score, literally two class we did high school project and write few report about it and get an A as 300 level bio). Pros: know the school lay out (as in what class to take, how to get good grade etc, and few professor for LOR), free schooling and less time (if transfer, be junior again and has to do 2 years to finish. Cons: "bad" education as I describe above (and this is relative since I don't know the new schools, only one has a reputation for good education)
- Take a gap year to transfer to new school which is out of state. While I missed the current applying cycle, I can try get a job in dental office (no clue if the new place market easy to get a job and get train on the job, here have a clinic hiring and train on the job for assistant). Then apply and get into new school to finish bachelor, prereq, get good and serious education. Pros: possible better education. Cons: cost of time and money (if financial aid covered time also a drawback)
- Forget about dental school, focus on dental hygienist program which (could be wrong stipulation and understanding but easier and higher chance get in with less prereq to get into?). This can be done as transfer right now, do community college for rest of prereq while build up resident time (and also experience working in the dental office). Then well, do 2 year programs. Pros: somehow best of both world where I can get another education exp (since I determined the current one is bad), not too ridiculously expensive and technically I don't waste a gap year just for resident status to apply to undergrad (which another gap year when graduate to prep for Dental school, I don't think I'm that good to prep while in school despite already a 5th year students). Cons: hygiensist seems not the job I would settle for due to salary (again could be wrong stipulation since I haven't exp yet and research fully enough) also a could be a pros which is during transfer where I can experience in the dental office for clearer insights.

Hi
Im a public school teacher whose considering a career change. Im looking at programs for dental hygienist work. Im attracted to the salary, the objectivity of the work itself and having stability. Working on one task (the patient) also seems really ideal for me.
Im curious about what people who have worked in this field have to say about it. Any insight appreciated!

2023.05.22 19:39 Unable-Writer-8469 Help
I started this new job end of last year. I have several questions, for those located in California:
-Is it okay for the office manager to ask you to do the hygienist’s X-rays even if the hygienist has all the time? For context today is a mellow day but im still busy with the other tasks she asked me to do, and she just came in with an attitude saying that I need to do all hygiene X-rays.
-I started working with a DA salary and I got my RDA like a month after I started working, but my pay is still of a DA, how do I bring up this subject? I’m anyways thinking of leaving but I haven’t found my next office yet.
Thanks for the advice!

2023.05.19 19:46 J0E_Blow Do you guys an' gals really make $97k a year, on average?
According to indeed y'all make bank- 48 an hour?! No wonder a 45 minute appointment is $115 dollars.
Seriously, is $48 an hour (97k a year) a realistic number? I was imagining most dental hygienists earned closer to $45-70 a year.

2023.05.19 17:36 Drfffte Predental question
As the title implies, I’m currently a predental student.
I currently attend a community college and originally had the intention of taking electives and early math classes and later transferring them over to a 4 year. I’m a freshman, and found out I’m only about 30ish credits from becoming a hygienist, but those 30 credits and the process as a whole would probably delay my dental admission process by a year or two, and even if I end up as a hygienist, I don’t know if I’d have time to Manage my that between school.
So, what do you guys think ? I come from a low income family so the salary would help me out a lot, as well as gain good experience and I’m sure this would boost my chances in getting into dental school later on.

2023.05.18 16:56 dlemon8r Thoughts on this practice purchase?
Hello! I am a general dentist in the process of buying my first practice and have a lot to learn and figure out. It is a FFS practice and has grossed 589k in 2020, 632k in 2021, 575k in 2022 (out 6-7 weeks with two knee replacements), and currently on track to do 665k this year. Practice has 1 hygienist working 3 days a week, 1 fill-in hygienist working 1 day a week, and doctor is doing hygiene half to one day a week. The practice has historically had two hygienists, but doesn't seem to have fallen off too much in gross profit. He has one front desk/office manager and one assistant. Bread and butter dentistry with NO SURGERY and 4-5 Invisalign cases throughout the year, but states he doesn't touch the posterior. He will also do RCT on premolars forward. 4 ops equipped with the possibility of 6 ops if wanted to later. Real estate is for sale as well. The building is located in an older part of town very close to the main hospital in a medical complex sort of area (urban and somewhat saturated). The building is older and would need some fixing up but nothing major and is about 3800 square feet. He got an unofficial evaluation of the property with 3-4 comps and it came to 400-425k. He is asking 600k for the practice. One concern is that he may be asking a little on the higher end for the practice, but the real estate seems pretty affordable. Another concern I have is the active patient count. Eagle soft patient analysis states that he has only seen about 867 patients in the last 12 months and an additional 145 within the last 24 months. I'm 32 years old and have been an associate producing about 1.1M/yr (collected about 900k/yr) at a heavy PPO DSO. I'm married with a 10 month old and my wife's salary is about 50k. Have a home loan of about 350k and student loans of about 108k. I have a nest-egg of about 180k cash. I am currently placing implants and am comfortable with most EXTs, but not doing impacted wisdom teeth. I am invisalign certified, and do the same RCT that he does (premolars forward). I feel I could be adding more procedure wise to the practice. The practice does not currently have a CBCT so that would be another expense that I would need to make early. Pros are real estate, FFS (maybe not a pro), adding more procedures, room for growth. Cons are low active patients, high end practice price, need another hygienist, need to purchase CBCT. Doc is willing to stay on for 6 months, but would ideally like to be done day of sale. He is also willing to lease the building for a few years if that would make it easier for me financially. I would love to hear your thoughts on this practice and what you might do in my situation.

2023.05.18 11:01 MintStudio Dental Assisting questions(too old?)
Hello! I want to be a dental hygienist. However, I want to go to dental assisting school first. I have read that is best.
It's costs 5k, which I don't have. They are offering a payment plan of $250 a month which will be hard for me to afford on my salary. I am going to be 30 in January and I don't really want to wait too long because I feel like I. Too old to go back to school. If I wait and save money it will be almost a year before I go to school.
Should I just save up the money and go July 2024 or go now and suffer through it? Payment plan is for 24 months. Or should I just go straight into being a dental hygienist and go to school for that? Would I be too old at 30(Jan2024) to go back in July if I save the money up?

2023.05.09 17:13 Professional-Taro149 Dental Hygienist Path For International Student
A little about myself: I'm an international student who stays in Southern California and wants to be a registered full-time dental hygienist (hopefully with a sponsorship/work visa). I'm new to this and have been looking around for CC to apply. I'm considering Pasadena City College or Cerritos College. But shortly after scrolling, I realized they won't be able to offer a work visa/sponsorship if you only have a certificate or associate.
Can anyone (preferably international) answer some of my questions? I would love to hear about your experience.

- Do I need a Bachelor's degree for a sponsorship/work visa?
- Did you go to a community college, university, or a fast-track program?
- What’s a typical starting salary?
- How hard was it to find a job somewhere in Southern California? Whether it be in LA county, El Monte, Ontario, Newport,... or anywhere in SoCal. How long were you unemployed after graduating?
- Did you work or allowed to have a part-time job while you were in the program?
- Is it true it’s hard to find a full-time job as a DH? What was your experience finding one?
- Is it really impossible to stay in the US and work as an international DH as they say?
2023.05.05 02:01 Classic-Neat-7890 Should I Pursue Dental Hygiene?
I am a high school student in Indiana, and I am considering pursuing a career in the dental field; however, I don't know if I want to be a dentist or a dental hygienist. If I want to become a dentist, I would have to do a biology major since its the most straight-up path, but there are the chances I don't pass the DAT and don't get into an in-state dental school, plus the fact I will be in debt for a while. However, my other idea is dental hygiene which is a maximum of 4 years. I won't fall into any debt and can actually put my major into use immediately compared to a biology or neuroscience major. What are your thoughts on what I should do?
Some additional questions I had directed toward dental hygienists in Indiana:
What is the starting and average salary of your position? Are you satisfied with your salary? do you recommend being a dental hygienist in Indiana? Explain why or why not? if there was any other dental career you would've picked, what is it and why? Lastly, what got you interested in pursuing dental hygiene?

2023.05.03 14:44 vintagemauve COGS Question for a Dental Practice
Hello!
I'm working on a school project, regarding a general dentist practice with three doctors (1 is a partner), five assistants, and three hygienists.
Since we're looking at a service based industry, I'm assuming I need to include dentist/assistant time into the COGS/COS along side dental supplies.
My question is, for the labor - who do I include? The partner is on a fixed salary, one associate gets a fixed salary (and percentage of revenue), and the other is fully percentage of revenue. Assistants and hygienists wages are all variable based on hours.
Thanks for your help!

2023.05.03 05:19 No-Wonder2993 Do you credit hygienist taken x-rays toward their production.
So I am wondering, those of you that own a practice and have a hygienist on staff, does the x-rays they take go toward their production? Today I found out that there are offices that don't give production to the hygienist for taking x-rays. Which was foreign to me as we need them for our job as well and both in hourly and production based jobs I was always given that credit. I am wondering for those of you that do not count x-rays as part of the hygienists production, do you take that into account when you are looking at their salary? I have always been told that we are supposed to produce 3x what we earn. And if you produce less than that, you are ubderperforming. If you don't give production for x-rays, do you expect that ratio to be lower? Do you have the hygienist take x-rays less often and just focus on perio cases? Because if I thought about it, if I was doing COMP/FMX with a prophy in a 1 hour slot, I would be making like 24 dollars an hour, which is less than the dental assistants at my practice for a lot more work.
Update: I should clarify I am in the US 🇺🇸 Could you please include what country you are in? helps with context. Lots of 🇬🇧 dentists here it seems.

I have applied to get my 1 year post graduate diploma in HR. I am wondering if that will be enough for me to understand what's required on the job. I had some questions regarding this field in Canada. What is the typical salary for an HR professional in Canada? Is HR in demand? Will it be easy getting a job?

I am stuck between choosing hygiene or nursing. My aim would be a pediatric nurse, then hopefully a NICU nurse. HOWEVER, I love the field of dentistry, always have. I see the average salary for a nicu nurse is about 118k a year, but after doing a Reddit post, I found out that new hygienists are making 110k a year right out of school. I am very much interested in both fields but am stumped on which way to go.

Little backstory I started college right after high school, but once I that happened covid did too, I did about a year and a half of pre reqs for religious studies iirc, but stuff out of my control happened and I had to drop out to get a job. Now that things cooled down after 2 years I think im ready to get out of my current job and pursue school again. I like the human body and its anatomy, so I’ve considered something in the medical field and these are the careers im thinking: physical therapy, dental hygienist, sports therapist or maybe nursing. Although I really like physical therapy I’ve read that the salary to debt ratio is really bad, is there a way around it or would I just have to suck it up lol, anyways, What do you guys think? Any other careers y’all would recommend?
