I have to start at a community college, but the one in my town only has dental assistant classes. Are those the same classes for dental hygienists? Well i’m planning on moving in two years to chicago so I will continue my education there. Basically what classes do I take if I want a Bachelors degree to become a dental hygienist.

If a dental hygienist notices that a dentist forgot to put on a fresh pair of gloves between patients, would it be okay for her to say something to the dentist (in front of the patient)? What would be the best way to solve this problem? The dentist has done this on occasion before.

My first time in college I earned a math degree with a 3.2 overall gpa. It has now been a few years after graduation, and I am considering going back to school to do pre-dental courses. How much weight will dental admissions boards put on my first degree when I apply? Could I lessen its influence if I take my pre-dental courses at a school other than my alma mater?

I got some dental fillings for cavities 4-5 months ago. I think I felt them right after the operation but within maybe a couple of days I didn’t feel anything, and I don’t think I feel any difference now. I also periodically get pain where one of the fillings were - I’d feel some pain for a few days and then it disappears for a month or so. Does that mean I need to get it checked again and possibly refilled?

I’m starting to make custom fangs out of dental acrylics. I’m having a hard time finding more shades and finding a place to purchase a tooth shade guide. Does anyone do this? Or know where I can buy more shades and how in the world do i mix to match? Thanks!
I ordered a vita lumin shade guide. Now I’m hunting different colors of dental acrylic.

Because…I see commercials about becoming dental assistants all day,everyday but i don’t ever see any about dental hygienist.I also can’t find any 2 yr or community colleges that offer dental hygiene in TN.How can it be a growing career if its so hard to find a school to go to for it?

I’d really hope to be a dental hygienist,but I just don’t know about it anymore.It seems too difficult to get into.

Why insurance? What if I got no insurance? With dental insurance, I know I can be more secure, but would I save some money?

What dental insurance company do you suggest for me? Please name it/them for me.
