    I love how u told us WHAT to do to shadow a doctor, to even to what to say. That was a big help! Especially for those of us who are not the best at interacting with others

    I've taken chemistry and biology as highschool classes, and next year I'll take sports medicine which will cover anatomy and general medic care as my PE credit (lol I'm lazy but it works out for me)on top of an additional science class. I already took an online biology college course psychology, and sociology course over the summer!:D I'm a sophomore in highschool right now and I'm so set on getting into dental hygiene fast I'm so excited 🥰

    I was born with a cleft lip and palate and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I’m at an adult high school because my high school wouldn’t let me do all the important classes. I had double jaw surgery 2 years ago and after surgery I was like yup I know what I want to do! Dental assistant. I’m at an adult high school getting my lesson so I can go to college

    When you shadow an office will they write you a referral or a give piece of paper so you can prove you were actually there?

    • @TeethTalk
      @TeethTalk  4 года назад +2

      I'm sure some offices do, as default. But, if they don't - you can always request for them to write a letter for proof! Kinda like a doctor's note! Sending positive toothy vibes your way!

      You could try and face your fears have a family member or friend come with you. I’m scared of needles too and I’m 12 too so your not alone. You don’t always need to get braces if you don’t want to but they will help you over the years. Hope this helped a bit!? You’ll get through it in the end! 😃❤️

    Hey Whitney!!! The day I was able to get back to my dentist!!! Oh my gosh this video came out this very same day!!! I wanted to let you know that beings that you have a respected dental fan and part of the toothy team I wanted to let you know that when I was getting my teeth cleaned today,,, my dentist said that she found nothing absolutely nothing. She and I were laughing because she said “Oh you are doing so well, you don’t need me.” Lol!!! I turned in the chair and said back at her “yea I do!!” Anyways I could feel you their in spearit as I was sitting in the chair. I have to say that Nancy my dentist’s receptionist said that they have been closed for the past 2 months. It was like going to see a long lost friend again. Boy oh boy when I sat in the chair it really made me so happy to get back. I just opened my mouth once at the Dentist and she was so almost in tears to see how well I have been taking care of my teeth as you know i love to do of course. I indicated to her that I love to take every day and pamper myself in oral hygiene. I said it like you said it in one video about taking care of your teeth. I am so with you sis’s!!!! Honestly I felt when the dental hygienist was their with me today,,, I could seriously feel your presents and spearit their!!! It feels great to bee a part of the toothy team Whitney!!! And keep up these great videos that you have been doing. I hope that you continue to make more A.s.M.R. Dental videos by the ay. Those are so awesome!!!
