Dental Assistant vs Dental Hygiene?
If you didn't like dental assisting, you certainly won't enjoy dental hygiene...





You may want to choose a career that isn't in the medical field if you don't like 'all those tasks'...
Reply:it is a little different but if you didn't like asissting then take it from a former asisstant try to get out of the field unless you have a passion foor the job its hard to really stick with it even more so when the field happens to have the highest burn out rate. lol
Reply:Hygienists have different tasks, and work more independently. The dirty work part of assisting is hard work, no doubt about it. If a turn-off for you is actually having your hands in other people's mouths, then this field is definitely not for you. If you are detail-oriented, and truly want to help people and share your expertise, then hygiene could be for you. And, you could actually have a higher income. But, you have to really love it and be good at it.
Reply:I am a hygienist who would go insane if I had to work across from the dentist everyday. Dental hygiene is worlds apart from dental assisting. Hygiene is more independent, it follows pretty much the same routine everyday, and the money is a lot better for the work we do. Dental assistants, from what I have seen at least, do not have the freedom nor do they make the money that hygienists make. They also are always the ones in my office who work the latest, have more office responsibilities, and have to basically learn how the read the mind of the dentist and be his right hand man. For some people, that works out great, but I love not having the dentist breathing down my neck all day long, and I also love the fact that the dentist I work for happens to respect my knowledge and rarely questions me on treatment of the patients I see. So I disagree with whoever said that if you do not like assisting that you will not like hygiene. Very few people realize what a huge difference there is between the two jobs.

Reply:I don't think you are cut out for any form of dentistry. An independent dh has to pay all of his expenses such as gasoline, dh and car insurance and solicit his own clients. A da works for a dentist on a salary. They deduct his FICA and SS and you have a guaranteed salary in good times or bad. I prefer the latter but you might prefer the former. Talk to da and dh.
