I was told you need to be really good at math and science to make it through pharmacy school. I'm very terrible at science and I completely do not understand chemistry. My advisor told me to consider another major. A month ago, I graduated from pharmacy school 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 So my advice would be to DREAM BIG & never give up!!! Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't good enough!!!
As a dentist, I will say no, you don't need to be super smart in science to make it through dental school. Does it help to be good at math and science? Yes, but by dental school, you will find there are so many "non-science" students who will perform at a high level consistently. The thing is, it will be tough, but as long as you don't give up, you will be fine. I had a terrible biology teacher in high school, so I considered myself to be very lacking in knowledge in biology. But in college, I had to do several biology classes (I was a chemistry major) and those pretty much covered all I needed to know through high school. Therefore, I "caught" up with that part of science in college.
Thank you for this! I’m a junior turning senior (class of 2023) in high school and have been really interested in dentistry. I mentored at my dentist office for school for 4 months and got some really cool insight on what goes on in a normal dentist office. I currently want to become a general dentist and I’m not the best in science. This video gives me hope that one day I can become a dentist, if not a hygienist!
I find science easier if I can apply it. I found that in childcare I could help the children wiv the same issues I had as a kid. I’m believe I’ll be a better dentist for having dental issues and will be more understanding.
Okay awesome topic! I am good at certain sciences (ones where you just need to memorize) and really really really horrible at math based sciences like chemistry and physics. Kicked ass in ochem though. It makes it harder to be bad at science honestly but still doable!
I'm not in school to be a dentist. I am taking my pre-reqs before applying to Nursing school. Science and math aren't my strongest subjects. I am taking intro to anatomy and physiology for the third time don't judge me at all. Those two subjects don't come easy to me at all. And I have a learning disability and I am getting help for that. It's like when I don't understand something the first time around. I feel like I am dumb or slow. I have had a advisor/professor tell me that I may need to change my major. Which I am not doing. I still want to do the best I can to be successful in my science pre-reqs especially my intro to anatomy and physiology class. Plus I am not a straight A student. Trying to get perfect grades in a subject that I am not so great in stresses me out. I enjoy working with children. And I really want to become a pediatric nurse. Great video @Teeth Talk Girl
I’ve been crying for the last hour decided to come on here cus I needed motivation, I feel like I’m not going to pass my science class…I have other classes I have and each teacher gives a whole bunch of assignments. I don’t even have time to even study for my science class…what should I do? Is it terrible to repeat the class if I end up failing the class? I want to be a DH so bad…but I’m struggling a lot right now
I actually have a fear of dentist and even watch a movie or TV show of that topic is hard for me and I fell like I'm there and my teeth hurt and yes..I'm scared. but since I started watching you , things started to change and I think about going to the dentist and I hadn't think about that before because of the fear. hope to get over it. so thank you about that change ❤🥰
Quick question......If i’m uncomfortable by doctor-y stuff and surgeries, will I still be suitable to become a dental hygienist? However, teeth cleaning/ bleeding gums don’t bother me!!
So I just wanted to be clear! I’m still in high school and currently taking chemistry, I never really struggled with it until now because it’s sort of math based chemistry. Can I still become a dental hygienist if I’m bad at it?
Hello! I've been watching your videos, and they are super helpful. I'm planning to go into dental hygiene for my bachelors. Is it possible for me to go to dental school after that? I mean I love what dental hygienists do! But I just wanted to know if it was possible. Would you suggest I go into a general science? I'll be in grade 12 next year and I have no idea what to do. I know I want to use my crafty hands as well as my brain for whatever career I decide to pursue, that's why I thought dentistry would be super cool option. Gosh I am completely all over the place. I feel so lost, I'm scared I will give up or not be good enough.
You'll be great at whatever you choose to do :) You can definitely apply to dental school after completing a bachelors in dental hygiene as long as you complete all the required prerequisite courses for dental school. I have a video that has some tips on applying to dental school vs DH school! Hope this helps: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh/dental-hygiene-school-vs-dental-school?rq=dental%20School
I never really learned anything from school because of lack of focus and motivation. Do I have to do something about it now before I take a community college route? I'm very anxious because of my lack of knowledge in basic school subjects.
Hi Teeth Talk Girl, I got accepted to DH school & starting this August. Q1: Should I purchase Posture Corrector or hand cast for my hands to avoid arthritis? I work at the Arthritis (Rheumatology) department & I see a lot of dentist in my office with arthritis (hands ). I am really scared that I won’t be able to practice for too long.
Hii, im a big fan, I am super passionate about becoming a dentist and I watched your video about it. I was just wondering what math classes I should be taking?
I got my bachelors and my associates so I did the 6 year path! Here is my video about some of the different routes and schooling options available: teethtalkgirl.com/videos/become-dental-hygienist?rq=dental%20hygiene%20school
Hi. Thanks for making this video. It was really helpful. Can you please help me with what I need to do in order to become a dental nurse instructor? Thanks
i want to pursue dentistry but i am scared i might give up in the middle of a sem since it so hard and u need to learn alottt of terms and stuff and i am terrible in science and math also i am afraid that if i want to give up in the middle of doing dentistry all the money would go waste (dental materials, dental school fee) and my parents would be so disappointed huhu
and when i tell this to someone they tell me “if u are passionate enough abt it you can do it” i am very passionate abt it but i dont think that will help even if i force myself to love or even try to understand or memorize science stuff i cant 😣
Thank you for this video because I want to be a dentist/hygienist/orthodontist/periodontist (probs ortho or periodontist) But I don’t do that well in science. This is really amazing! Piece, love, happy teeth! ✌🏻❤️😁😴
Mam i have one silly question . I got my wisdom teeth removed lasy year bcoz there was no space in my jaw and it was not growing right . During the minor surgery i got some stitches ,but after one week when the surgeon was removing the stitches HE SAID 1 stitch was missing.The problem is still after one year my that side of jaw still doesnt feel right and movement of jaw is not free .Is there any chance the stitch might still be there and bcoz of that my jaw feels like stuck and not free?
Lmao omg I googled this question. I’m so bad when it comes to Science but I’m planning on going to dental school this September 2021 but that’s What I’m scared of🥺😢😥
Hello ma’am i wish to go canada and become a dental hygienist although i have not taken biology so is it possible i can be one? Also your videos gave me alot of clarity thank you so much❤️

@@Sinderella01 Always chase your dreams! ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️
@@TeethTalk Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@love_nyc_ can you please tell me what you did to learn any tips and tricks for science and math currently taking it?
Me being in college right now struggling and feeling like I can’t get through this, but reading all the stories in the comments give me hope.
Literally same 😭
Sammeeee 😩😭😭😭😭

I feel like I’m terrible at science and math, and now I wanna be a dental hygienist. Ugh please wish me luck in school lol.
you totally got this! sending positive vibes your way!
Yess me too I’m a senior in high school now😭
Same. But I’m going into my third year as a Socio major. Completely different ☹️ and I’ve taken no math or science since hs!
Thank you for this! I’m a junior turning senior (class of 2023) in high school and have been really interested in dentistry.

Omg I needed this so badly, I’m not that great at organic chemistry so I’ve been so scared to apply to dentistry but my grades overall are pretty good
I find science easier if I can apply it. I found that in childcare I could help the children wiv the same issues I had as a kid. I’m believe I’ll be a better dentist for having dental issues and will be more understanding.
Okay awesome topic! I am good at certain sciences (ones where you just need to memorize) and really really really horrible at math based sciences like chemistry and physics. Kicked ass in ochem though. It makes it harder to be bad at science honestly but still doable!
YESSS! Thank you so much for commenting and sharing! And I'm right there with you in ochem ;) the only one I didn't struggle to hard with!
You are just great at encouraging people thanks so much!
so happy to hear that. thank you for watching! positive vibes!
I really struggle in math, i was just wondering what forms of math I need to know to get into dental school
I'm not in school to be a dentist. I am taking my pre-reqs before applying to Nursing school. Science and math aren't my strongest subjects. I am taking intro to anatomy and physiology for the third time don't judge me at all. Those two subjects don't come easy to me at all. And I have a learning disability and I am getting help for that.

I'm so happy you are able to not have as much fear anymore! You got this! Sending positive vibes your way!!!
Im going to give myself the opportunity to try as hard as I can!
Quick question......If i’m uncomfortable by doctor-y stuff and surgeries, will I still be suitable to become a dental hygienist? However, teeth cleaning/ bleeding gums don’t bother me!!
I think so! If you're interested in dental hygiene - you can do anything you set your mind to :)
So I just wanted to be clear! I’m still in high school and currently taking chemistry, I never really struggled with it until now because it’s sort of math based chemistry. Can I still become a dental hygienist if I’m bad at it?
As long as you study and pass your pre reqs you should be good but it just takes hard work and time. Its not impossible you got thissss!!

Your hair is so beautiful
thank you so much for saying that! I often feel like it's not but I've been trying to condition it lots :)

Do you need to be good at maths to be a dentist, I'm a grade 9 student thinking about being a dentist any tips?
How long it took you fished your career as a dental hygienist ??
I got my bachelors and my associates so I did the 6 year path! Here is my video about some of the different routes and schooling options available: teethtalkgirl.com/videos/become-dental-hygienist?rq=dental%20hygiene%20school
Do I get my associates of science or associates of arts for dental hygiene? What’s the difference? Am I also able to get my bachelors degree after?
all great questions! I actually have a video all about that! hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/-kTWLdPVfiA/видео.html

Teeth Talk Girl thank you!
@@Sarah-nt7kz hi are you dental student now, was it many cemestry lectures😢
Can I become a dental hygienist if I'm bad in math? I struggle with calculus a lot!!!
yes! same message goes for science & math in my opinion! if you can do anything you set your mind to! wishing you all the positive toothy vibes!
Which math was it Whitney?

I'm doing economics , I don't like science but I like dentistry for later it's good or should I change my subject
Do you have to be good at maths too because I’m very good at science
Hello ma’am i wish to go canada and become a dental hygienist although i have not taken biology so is it possible i can be one? Also your videos gave me alot of clarity thank you so much❤️
is it must that l do physics in order to become a dentists
most dental programs require physics as a prerequisite during undergrad! always check the intended program for specific requirements! hope this helps!
what classes do i need to take in high school to get good at, and why
I actually have a video for high schoolers interested in the dental field! Hope this helps: teethtalkgirl.com/rdh/high-school-to-become-a-hygienist?rq=high%20school
My girl.
What if I've never done chemistry in highschool?
Start preparing yourself i Guess
Also I’m bad with math ☹️☹️
Why didn’t you become a dentist?
I love focusing on prevention vs restoration! Here's my video that explains my choice: ruclips.net/video/hjYlTJBJrKc/видео.html :)
i’m bad at math :/
