I used to have patients who I swear to God only brushed twice a year, on Xmas and their birthdays, and their birthdays were in December. And this was November. Not. Fun.

@ancientsgate I would if I was much younger. As a mom of one, I am lucky I got my RDH license in 2 years with minimal debt. Now I make $55 an hour and I choose the days I want to work.

@missalyfaye17 If you're nervous about taking hard classes, I won't persuade you!

ancientsgate -Has very negative comments and most of them are incorrect. You do not need a Masters to teach. You need a BS. RDH teachers get paid less than tradiational clinical hygienists. Maybe this person couldn't advance in this career becasue they have a bad attitude and didn't like the profession. I have a great career and get amzaing job offers and unique opportunities because of my education all the time.
