    The facts that you have time to bake cookies at work is insane to me while I sometimes don’t have time for a full lunch because the volume is insane for corporate type of office 😭

    Hiiii!!! I’m an rda who works in general, been leaning more towards ortho, this video helps a lot so thank you so much for this 💗 did you ever work in general? If you did, which do you like more?

    • @48drea
      @48drea  3 месяца назад +2

      Hi! Of course! 💕 I did so general for 6 months before ortho, and I feel I like them both equally, ortho is definitely more exhausting tho because you do everything

    DO you find that adults are more nervous to get braces than kids? I would guess that most adults reluctantly get braces

    • @48drea
      @48drea  5 месяцев назад +2

      Most are excited because they say they waited years to be able to afford braces

    Do you recommend going to a dental assistant program? To get my certification? Or what specific school do I need to go? The program it’s about 1 year

    • @48drea
      @48drea  5 месяцев назад +5

      A dental assisting program is good but it’s more expensive than online dental assisting school

    I recently graduated from a DA school and got my Certificate in DA only. I started applying for jobs and I currently have on at an Ortho Office for Ortho Assistant. So honestly a certificate CAN help you, you just have to put in the work and call different dental places till you get an interview/job. But yes I am learning everything about Orthodontics but its okay bcuz if you known you can learn quickly and not give up along the way you CAN b an Ortho assistant with just a DA certificate. (My goal is to get my RDA license so I just need a year at any office rn) ☺️🫶🎀🫧
