    Omg girl, I’ll be honest - I did not expect this video to go like this. 😭 And I am truly sorry you had terrible experiences with staff and the other assistants. That’s definitely my #1 concern besides pay. Thank you so much for highlighting so many questions that were on my mind, and I’m glad you chose you and your life over the strenuous demand of being an assistant. I am a new grad and finished my hours for school 4 days ago (240 hours), we graduate the 27th so I am, at the moment, job hunting but so nervous lol. I just want to be able to afford to live and pay my bills, and it’s absolutely ridiculous how undervalued and underpaid we are in the healthcare profession.

      Thank you for watching 💕
      Congratulations on finishing dental assisting school . 🥳 and good luck finding an office ✨ 240 is a lot of extern hours ! I am so proud of you for finishing them.
      I was hesitant about uploading this video because of how much I enjoy being dental assisting and I felt like I was contradicting my self but I wanted to be openly honest with everyone.
      I don’t know how long this “ break “ will last but I’m going to enjoy it for now 🥰

    I’m a dental assistant of 3 almost 4 years here and my experience in the field is almost identical to yours. I’m getting ready to retire dental assisting.. I don’t see the industry ever keeping good assistants unless they are paid well. They will either become a hygienist or leave the profession for good. Dental assistants should not be making anything under $28 an hour in this economy.

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I'm wanting to be in this field, but I've Gaines a lot of information from your advice so I really appreciate it. I'm sorry for all the bs you had to go through. This life and people can be so mean. And honestly I can't stand majority of females, they can be so wicked. Lol. But your so sweet. God richly bless you for all your hard work, and I pray God blesses you for sharing this video. Because it's gonna help alot of people. Thank you so much!

    I went from making $14 in 2019-2021 at a pediatric office to $18 (2021), took a break 2022-2023 i had my son, to $21(2023) and i just started at a new office last week making $24 🤭 whenever i apply for a job i always ask for at least $2-$3 more and the drs will say yes. If you don’t negotiate with them they’ll try to give you the least they can!

    Is it hard do agency dental? Or travel dental ? Bc I would like to do that so I’m not waiting around for hiring

    • @margaritagaona
      @margaritagaona  2 месяца назад

      Great question, I believe that being a travel dental assisting can be sometimes difficult because because you are traveling to multiple offices and providing services with the dentist/ os etc. It is difficult to find a position that does this. In terms of finding a job for these positions I would consider princess dental or direct dental, you can apply and be a temp assistant at offices.

      @@margaritagaona yea one thing I disliked the most is how toxic the environment was becomes because if your not the manager or team leader then most of the time you won’t be satisfied they overwork the others . gossip has become a big problem over the years at almost every job especially dental assisting. If you do research dental has become one of the biggest quitting jobs at the moment there was riot a couple months back on the news

    Hi I live in Dallas and I’m interested looking in to dental assistant. What is the process to become a da? And how much they pay? Should I look in to dental assistant?

    • @margaritagaona
      @margaritagaona  10 месяцев назад

      Hello, :) the process of becoming a dental assistant is easy. You only need certain certificates to be able to become a RDA. The pay ranges from state, but I would say roughly around 17-30 an hour depending on experience.

    Am a guy that wants to do dental assistant but I have a feeling the woman at work will be sexist towards me or just creeped out because I'm a guy and they don't know me what advice would you give and is it a really good career? Let me know 😎

    • @margaritagaona
      @margaritagaona  Год назад +2

      Hey josh, good question. The dental field is dominated by women. It is a very interesting field when it comes to being a male. It depends on the type of people you work with. My best advice to you is if you are trying to pursue dental assisting be prepared for a world full of chaos. It can become a stressful career if you work with doctors that do not respect assistants. Patience, organization is key to enjoying the field. I can not speak for a male perspective however I have a few male friends who pursued this career. One of my male friend struggled through depression because of this field, however my other male friend got lucky and found himself a good office that treats him well, he’s been working in that office for 6 years and he loves it.
      Good luck with the career choice you make, if you have any more questions feel free to ask (:
