Personal Statement: A Career As A Dental Assistant

Nature of the work for a dental hygienist is a wide range of challenges. Dental hygienist plays as the side kick of the dentist to better help their patient’s oral health conditions. The reason I mentioned theirs a wide variety of responsibilities is because different states have certain regulations on practices dental hygienist can actually do. Procedures like patient screening, head and neck inspection, and dental charting. Also, taking X-Rays, and removing plaque from all surfaces of the teeth. Dental hygienist also applies sealants and fluorides to the patient’s teeth and gums to help prevent diseases from forming. The information I conducted from my dental hygienist Linda. She noted that she teaches her patients proper instructions on flossing, and brushing teeth, and also nutrition counseling. Make an impression on their patient’s teeth for study casts which is models of teeth used by the dentist to evaluate patient treatment needs (Linda Smith).

In life, choosing is never easy. Choosing what to wear, eat, where to go, and how to live. Choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life, is as easy as walking to the moon and back. There is no brochure that gives you a sure set of bullet points as to what you would like to do, instead, we are meant to simply discover what we would enjoy doing most. There are over a million different careers, yet I’ve chosen a profession in Dental Hygiene. Believe it or not, my first words were not in fact, “I want to become a dental hygienist”.

I have always dreamed of being in the medical field. But, there came a point in my life where income was more important than education. After graduating in June of 2011 from The Charter school of San Diego, I had the perfect career plans. Little did I know a perfect future was never promised. The trials I have overcome, have molded me into the hardworking ambitious young adult I am today. I am truly going to be an amazing Dental Assistant.

I want to be a medical assistant because I love helping people and I want to make a difference. I hope my smile will be contagious and actually help someone through their day. There is so much hurt and pain in the world and too many people turning their backs on each other. A little kindness, happiness, and love can go a long way. I may only be me, but I refuse to give up and sometimes it only takes one to make a difference. I will strive to be the best and expect more. Patients need more than a treatment plan because they also need to be surrounded by hope, confidence, and respect. I want others to not be afraid to lead by example and prove that being a CMA (AAMA) is the greatest medical profession one can be. Becoming a Certified Medical

My decision to become a pediatrician allows to me combine to two most things I love: children and academics. Children have always played an important role in my life. For example, I enjoyed babysitting little children. I enjoy playing with them and seeing how children can be so creative at a young age. Similarly, academics have always played an major role in my life also. My parents would always stress

A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the

Most assistants will work in an office where they will assist in doing a variety of different things like taking care of all of the equipment as well as the instruments used by the dentist. They will make sure that all of these things are in good working order and ready for whenever the dentist is in need of them.

A dental assistant must be able to work well with others because they are the second pair of hands for the dentist. A dental assistant must be able to understand the dentist and communicate with the dentist to provide proper tools and assistance. Assistants must be very reliable and have excellent manual dexterity so that they can provide the best service to the dentist and to the patient that they are working with. Dental assistants will also have to be knowledgeable on how to properly sterilize and disinfect equipment and instruments and how to set up and lay out instruments and materials for each patient. They must obtain and update patients records as needed and ensure that their patients are comfortable at all times.

I have had a passion for becoming a healthcare provider for children for quite a while (for a long time). Children are one of the most important individuals of society because they are the future and will one day be in charge of the world. Their health at a young age is indicative to how their health will be as adults. Childhood has a great effect on how a person turns out to be so I hope to help children I hope to use prevention and education to preserve and restore the health of my patients. My career goals are to prevent children from having to spend time in hospitals or in pain and to help them live out their life and dreams to the fullest extent. Children play a very large role in their families, and when a child becomes sick, the whole family becomes distressed. Pediatricians not only heal children, but they help and prevent a family from suffering. I love medicine and children, and I hope to combine these two passions by becoming a pediatrician.

Being a dental assistant does not have as many privileges as you would get if you were a dental hygienist here are some examples the Salary for a dental assistant is $32,000-47,000 per year and their hourly wages are $15.23-23.25. There is a difference and at the same time they are both really good starting wages A dental hygienists’ Salary is $60,000 - 70,000 per year and their hourly wages are $28.75-37.25.

Immediately after high school, I attended Concorde Career College with the goal of obtaining a dental assistant degree. Dental assistants help dental operators such as dentists and dental hygienists with providing more efficient dental treatment. We also prepare patients for treatments, sterilize instruments, handle instruments, operate dental equipment, process dental radiographs, and take dental impressions (“Dental Assistant”).

I am also a cheer coach for children, ages eight to ten, which has taught me how to treat little ones. I want to be able to make children feel comfortable and safe when they're at the doctors. I want them to feel as if there is always someone there that can help them no matter the severity of the problem. I have always taken a pleasure in meeting new people and I know being a nurse will guarantee that. Being in healthcare, I will be able to interact with all different types of people everyday. Working at Rita's during the summer has given the chance to engage with people that I have never met. I was relate to adapt so quickly with customers and coworkers and I feel like I have become a more open person. Having the opportunity to work with more people on a daily basis would teach me countless valuable life

I chose the career of Physician Assistant, since it’s compatible with my interests, skills, and work values. Physician Assistants provide patient services under the direct supervision and responsibility of physicians. I ideally wanted a job that did not require more than a master's degree; this job fits that as well as other criteria. Physician Assistants, like other health care employees, want to help people directly. This is my goal for a career and becoming a Physician Assistant allows me to do this also with a comfortable amount of schooling.

Pediatric Dentistry is a superb fit for me since I enjoy working with children. Dentists diagnose and treat problems with patients’ teeth, gums, and related parts of the mouth,

Like any other student in the Pre-Health department my goal is to provide care for patients in need. However, I plan to pursue this goal as an obstetrician in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. My whole life I have wanted to be a doctor and work with babies in some way. I grew up with a big family and I love it. As an obstetrician I will be able to work around the babies and experience the new life being brought into the world. I will be able to witness the beauty and pain of child birth and still keep an interest in the variety of humans born. To be completely honest I do not know why I want to be in this area of work, I have always just had the passion for it. When I was younger I researched the jobs that might interest me in the future and that I could enjoy. Obstetrics caught my
