My Experience As A Dental Hygienist

For my senior project I have explored the career of a Dental Hygienist, who is a licensed dental professional who is registered with a dental care association within their country of practice. Their duty is to clean teeth, examine patients for signs and symptoms of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and provide other preventive dental care. They also educate patients on ways to improve and maintain good oral cavity health. Dental hygienist occupation has many important aspects to their job, which makes it a very rewarding occupation. According to my research dental hygienists is one of the top career choices in America, being so, over the years the career has evolved into a high demanding occupation.

There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

When shadowing current dental hygienists I was able to grasp the flexibility that comes along with earning a BS degree. By attaining a Bachelors of Science, I

The major that I would like to peruse is Pre-Medicine. To me Pre Medicine is more than just about having a huge salary, it’s about helping people. I do it every day and enjoy every second of it, but what actually brought me to this decision was my own health condition. I got diagnosed and have been treated for scoliosis and GAD when I was 16 years old.

College for many young adults is a place to learn from our mistakes, create connections in our field, and build knowledge about the world around us. As a transfer student at Seton Hall, it has been my dream to learn about the many facets of my major, Public Relations. With my previous studies and six years of experience in the pre-dental field, I questioned myself when transferring if public relations is the right career choice for me. Of course, this decision was not an easy one, but with the help of my mentor, I realized that anything is possible.

I thought this class was a very good class. In fact I wish that all classes were this simple. I felt like I was able to actually understand the course work. I feel as though this class as

Like everyone else when I signed up, I had no clue what I was getting into, and to be completely honest I thought the course would be a breeze. Although there was not a ton of homework the in-class discussions and reflection groups were sometimes pretty challenging to be a part of. I found an environment where there was no need to lie or nonsense an answer just to get a grade. It was maybe the first time in a college course where I felt comfortable not having to make sure I had the “right” answer. This was especially true of our reflection group where a couple of college students who were more or less strangers to each other were thrown together and became incredibly close after just a few

This reflection acts as my fourth reflection since I have started my internship at Comfort Dental under the Guidance of Dr. Trino Nuno. The semester is coming to an end, and I have enjoyed my time at Comfort Dental., I previously had a clinical and administrative internship at Smile Works Dentistry in Rockwall, Texas and I can now tell you that my experience at these two dental practices was incredibly different. At Smile Works, I quickly got used to the way the practice was run because it was not that complicated and I only had one doctor’s schedule to manage. However, at Comfort Dental I still struggle with managing day-to-day functions. The reason I struggle is that Comfort Dental has three doctors and a lot more staff. Also, the computer system that I mastered at Smile Works is not the same computer system that they use at Comfort Dental. I got the chance to use all to same skills in this internship. I answered phones, checked that patient’s insurance plans are eligible to be billed and scanned paper documents into a hard drive.

From this course I have learned what pre-reading really is. I had always thought that pre-reading was actually reading all of the material assigned, so I would never do if before lecture. It was interesting to learn about the different types of note taking. Sometimes using the same style can get boring, so trying out new formats really helped! My favorite thing that I learned about this course was “smart test-taking strategies”. Although, I have been afraid to apply some of those skills to my exam, I have noticed how they really work when doing practice NCLEX-RN questions.

In summary, I could not be more proud of being part of this class. This course has taught me so much that I have nothing to being glad of having the opportunity be learning the concepts discussed in this class. I truly recommend this course for professional spring a career in my

Dentistry gives you the ability to own your own business. It also keeps customers coming back, where you are able to build relationships with your customers so that you know them and they know you. I am also probably one of the few people that enjoy watching a filling or an extraction, and I chose agronomy as an undergraduate major, because it got all my pre-dental requirements done within my major and it allowed me to focus on something that I enjoyed with a great people from the college of agriculture around me. Ultimately, I want to start out working under a dentist as I gain experience, and I would like to eventually start my own

On a Saturday morning, I woke up to the rising sun with its orange glow filling the sky. The birds were chirping, and I was ecstatic for this weekend. I finished my morning routine, and got on my computer to complete my homework before I start playing. Just as I was beginning to work, my mom strolled into my room.

To be honest, I was quite apprehensive about taking this course. I knew that it was only there to help me, however, I didn’t know what exactly I needed help with. By no means did I think that I knew everything, but I did think that there wasn’t much that I could do and i had to work with what I had. However, to my surprise, there were many things that I had overlooked about myself and what I could do to find more direction in my future career. There was much support and guidance as to what I could do to seek a post-college career with my major.

At the beginning of the semester, my main goal was to declare a major and this class was supposed to help me. After attending this class a few times, I was not sure it was the class for me. The syllabus included resumes and activities that did not involve declaring a major. Now that the semester is over, the activities that involved declaring a major helped me tremendously and the ones that did not still have benefited me. Even though I thought I did not need to learn more about those other topics, I learned more helpful tips on top of what I already knew. With this class only being once a week, most of the content has helped me learn about myself, future, and the work place.

Throughout the semester, this class has been extremely beneficial to me. This class has provided many exercises and assignments that have played a vital role in reassuring myself about what my values, interests, and skills are. I came into the class struggling about what possible major I was going to decide to do, but now I have more of an idea of what possible occupations and majors interest me.
