Dental assisting or hygienest??!


Question:

Dental assisting or hygienest??

I have decided to go to school to become a dental hygienest. I have no experience in this field. I was wondering if I should become an assistant first or just go straight for hygiene. I am very smart and a quick learner. Do you think its possible or will I be completely lost??


Answers:

I agree with you regarding the working to get a background in dental thing. It seemed logical to me. I have been trying to do that myself, figuring that it would give me a heads up on my Dental Hygienists training. It hasn't worked out that way.

But most dentists do not want to train an assistant only to have them leave for hygienists school. They all recommend getting the hygienists certificate and then coming back to see them. Even seen posts on here saying the same thing. They do not want to waste time training someone only to have to train someone else later.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.
