Is dental hygienist a good job?
well you get paid really good money right out of school =)
Reply:My hygienist makes $38 per hour plus more in bonuses.





She only has to work 4 days a week.





Plus her health insurance is paid in full.





In certain parts of the country hygienists can make more than dentists right out of school.





Most people consider it a good job!





Email me with questions!

Reply:I am just finishing up with my board exams now, and I can tell you that it was the hardest two and a half years of my college life, (3.8 GPA, by the way) but completely worth it. You have to have the right personality, I am not going to lie. You need to be able to knock peoples socks off with your charm and have the professionalism that is needed to run an efficient office. You also must be able to handle seeing meat come out of depths you never knew existed, but all in all, I'm lovin' it. Just know that you can't be a slacker, you can't fake your way through, and you can't hate girls because you will most likely be in a class with about 22!





Good luck, girly. You won't regret it.





P.S. Dr. Mark ... ya need a helper? :0)
Reply:Yep, good job, you should do it!





They're also really in demand, so you can find places where you only have to work 1-4 days a week if you want, etc.
Reply:Hello, you have made a wonderful occupation choice. If you like people and consider your self a "people person", you have picked the right profession to be involved in. It won't be all peaches and roses so be advised that both dentist employers and patients can and will try your (no pun intended) Patience, from time to time, but then again, where could you work that you wouldn't find that issue to deal with? Good luck and I wish you well.
Reply:Dr.Mark can I come work for you?!?!?

Seriously though. I'm currently a student--and while my school is known for being the 'fast and hard' type, I have to admit I'm having a blast. Cleaning teeth gets addicting. The only thing that I would ask yourself before going into this is how easily do you get grossed out? I hate to say it, but there are some gross mouths out there! Lack of care, plus diseases of the mouth. On the upside though, you'll meet some great people!
