I'm going to do a quick recap about myself in case you guys haven't been watching my channel And don't know who I am. So my name is Andrea. I've been in the dental profession for almost 17 years now I've worked in dental offices. So I've been a dental receptionist. I've been a dental assistant I've been a dental hygienist. I'm currently a dental hygienist. I am also a specialty Dental hygienist. So I am a restorative dental hygienist as well I also have my own mobile dental hygiene practice here in Ontario We are allowed to have our own dental hygiene practice and I see patients in my own home as well So that's just a very basic recap on me I've been teaching tutoring consulting for as long as I've been in the dental profession So 17 years since I was 19. So I do have my tutoring company tutoring business where I teach You know students I teach dental professionals I can leave the link for you guys down below if you don't know what that is It's just simply dental l.com. So super easy. Have a look you guys Email me comment anytime. Okay, great. I see some comments. Perfect. Hello you guys. Hi um What is osmf? I'm sure as soon as you tell me I'll know but please let me know What is osmf because you're asking me for some tips and I'm curious Can you guys see the comments right now the comments and the questions? Oh, wow, Amanda. You are a first year dental hygiene student from Niagara. That's very exciting That's not too far for me. How long is your program? Is it two years or three years? When I went to dental hygiene school, it was um two years Mine took four years, but just because of the additional schooling that I did take Hmm I am very happy to be doing the videos for you. So thank you. It's my pleasure I do try to update them often. I do try to come online often So please if you guys ever need anything tell me I love to do this Um, oh, um oral sub mucus fibrosis. You know what? I feel like I need to look that up I teach oral pathology, but can you explain it a little bit for me? And I can definitely help you like what are your oral conditions because I do know it can really vary um like are Your gums starting to swell. Are they painful? Do you have lack of saliva because it can definitely vary? So let me know and then I'd be happy to help you Cache sorry if I'm pronouncing your name wrong You know what? I'm not even going to say the names because I totally butcher them. I'm just going to answer your questions Okay, so please forgive me. Sorry um A good starting pay for a beginner dental hygienist. Where are you from? Here in Ontario, for example, it could be anywhere from 18 dollars an hour to 20 dollars per hour Or it could be more if a dental offices if a dental office needs a hygienist because they're in a shortage They will pay more. It's kind of the same thing for hygiene here in Ontario I feel starting out you can make 30 dollars 35 dollars per hour if you have experience It could be 40 dollars. It could be 50 dollars. So it really truly depends Um, oh good. So you said your dental hygiene program is three years, but condensed into two that sounds about right? um So chicago I would want to say it's about the same, but I don't know just because I don't live there I suggest asking like other dental hygienists. There are groups on facebook or sorry. I'm not dental hygienist dental assistant Did you say assisting? Yes, um, there are groups on facebook. Are you part of any of those dental assisting groups on facebook? Um, definitely just ask them say hey guys. I'm living in chicago Can anybody tell me a starting wage? Even your instructors should be able to tell you that info because they probably work there too, right? So definitely ask them because I don't want to give you the wrong information And I don't want you to have to like cut yourself short by by asking for too little but then if you ask for too much they're just going to laugh you out of the room so Join the groups on facebook and that will help you or you could simply email or call your local dental assisting association and say like what should I be asking for like help me out? um Yes, a new hygiene student. Hey the dental hygiene program is tough, isn't it? I'm not going to lie to you and say it's easy. Definitely browse my youtube channel I talk about my struggles in dental hygiene school I talk to you about how to deal with difficult instructors I talked to you. Yeah, I talked to you about pre-clinic as well I talk about all that fun stuff definitely look on the youtube channel hygiene edge They have actual videos on the instruments So like you're learning about the the universal curette the area specific and sharpening They have really good videos where they show you how to use those instruments I'm more of a theory based, you know dental hygiene helper But hygiene edge is amazing They have really good. Yes. Okay. Good. So you know about them and no, they're not paying me to tell you this I just really like their channel. They helped me when I was in restorative hygiene. So, um, sorry My, um, computer is trying to update guys. Can you guys see that? I'm like trying to move this Button thing my computer is updating something. I'm trying to exit and it's not letting me so sorry guys Um, sorry. I'm getting comments. I just want to catch up for a moment. Oh, so you have limited mouth opening Um Limited mouth opening have you been to a dental? A dentist or a dental assistant or sorry A dentist or a dental hygienist because they can definitely look at your mouth and kind of offer you tips Sometimes there's mouth like exercises you can do Or if you go to say a massage like specific for the mouth Even inside the mouth once a month that can make a big difference too But I would have to see you in person as for the wisdom tooth pain Can I ask how old you are? Because I immediately want to say you probably need the wisdom teeth taken out, but full disclosure you guys I can't offer any diagnosis over youtube Because I can't see you guys in person. So please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. Okay Um, oh good. Um, you're saying your instructor post hygiene edge videos online. That's awesome Um, yes, you can um a hygienist can work in ortho. Does your program teach you ortho? Um, even if you're not taught you can take other courses after school Like for example, I was taught um ortho when I was in the dental hygiene program for like a week I would not feel comfortable doing that, but I can work in an ortho office I would just take it upon myself to take courses. So I know what I'm doing and they would also help you to Um, okay. So you're 28. You probably need the wisdom teeth taken out I suggest going to the dentist telling them you're in a lot of pain and they can let you know why Sometimes there could even be an infection around the wisdom teeth You could be in pain because the wisdom teeth are trying to poke through the gums. So imagine that's going to be painful Um, or you could have an infection around one or all of them It's really hard to say. So I would see a dentist like today if you can um Because there's not a lot you can take for tooth pain. You have to take care of the problem. So please See a dentist today. Stop watching this video or stop watching this live stream And call the dentist. Okay, because tooth pain is no joke. I get it. It's painful Um, oh, you have an electric toothbrush. Well, that's exciting I hope you didn't have to pay for that. I hope it was free I think I got an electric toothbrush too when um I was in school Oh oral b. Okay. Amanda a little secret. I don't like oral b But I'm not saying I just prefer sonic hair because they have an actual like toothbrush head That's a lot softer the oral b. They're not as soft But they're great toothbrushes by the way, they're awesome But I will just always recommend a sonic hair over the oral b But if you like the oral b awesome, but be careful how you brush. I'm sure they explained it to you Be careful how you brush because it's around Brush head, right? So you have to be very careful brushing Don't brush on the gums too much because that can actually take the gum away over time Um, and I feel like I have to mention I'm not being paid by sonic hair to say I prefer sonic hair. Okay guys I'm not that hygienist where companies pay me to talk about their products. Not that that's a bad thing I say good for them. Those hygienists are making money But I don't do that. So I give honest reviews Not that they're not honest. Anyway, I'm just going to stop talking now Yes, um, I'm happy to help. Please get your wisdom teeth looked at And sorry you guys if I'm missing some comments Thank you guys so much for commenting, but I might miss some because they're coming in fast So if I miss yours, please just comment again Um, you know what there are ortho brush heads. Um Yes, even if you go on amazon type in like ortho brush heads for like electric toothbrushes and you'll find tons You can get more from oral b, but they're gonna cost you But yeah, good point. You would need like certain brush heads and um, amanda a side note by the water pick I love the water pick. They're amazing for braces. Um, have you used a water pick before? I'm getting if you want one. I'm getting the link To the water pick I personally use it's freaking awesome. This water pick if I remember correctly Even has um ortho heads Oh, you do have one good. Um, did your water pick come? I don't mean to say water pick. I don't mean the company water pick. I just mean in general a water flosser Some of them have like different heads. Okay, good. Yeah, that's where I buy mine I buy my water pick from amazon a cordless. They're the way to go Does anybody have any other questions about anything? I love amazon. I know Anything I can get from amazon. I totally get from amazon this lab coat was from amazon just saying in fact People always ask me. I think that's just what we do these days, right? What are you wearing? I'm gonna tell you what I'm wearing. I'm gonna get the link from amazon too and um Our man 79. Thank you. I think you're leaving a bunch of hearts Thank you. Um, sorry, where's my lab coat that I wanted to get for you guys. Oh, let's see In case you guys are curious They're super cheap. I think like 20 bucks you guys they come in all kinds of different colors I kind of wanted a pink one too, but I picked red and green for christmas How fitting right? I'm leaving the lab coat linked down below and just in case somebody asks me too Like I kind of feel like I should get that for you now $19 you can't beat that and I just uploaded a video on youtube Um explaining. Oh, yeah, I did say I was gonna talk about that explaining my loops you guys $65 loops on amazon. So amanda have Has your school talked about loops yet? You're gonna want them Um, I suggest buying these ones for $65 not the ones that they're going to offer you in school for like 2000 You're a student. You can't afford that unless you want $2,000 loops But if I've been a hygienist or i'm sorry a dental professional for 17 years and I buy the $65 ones I can buy whichever ones I want like money's not an object I'm I have my own dental hygiene business. So it would be considered a business expense If I go with $65 ones, they're awesome. They're totally fine from amazon. In fact I can leave the link for you guys on that as well. I just had it So I might have to find that again But I'd like to leave you guys the link since I was talking about the loops in case anybody's asking I'm just checking. Let's see. Oh, awesome. You are a dental student from the philippines. So nice to have you Thank you for coming on Um, when is your program over? Or do you still have a long way to go? Sorry guys, I'm still looking for those loops in case you're wondering why I'm looking at my other screen here Um, there they are. I'm gonna copy that for you My exact loops that I use Where's my mouse? There we go I'm telling you They're perfect and if you don't like them take them back. It's amazon ship them back super easy Um, oh, um, amanda how to reach like hard to reach areas in the oral cavity I know you're gonna hate me for saying this but it takes practice There's no easy way to do it. You are learning indirect vision. It takes practice. I'm telling you Um, I know that's not the best Answer but it's true. It takes practice practice makes perfect practice at home Practice as much as you possibly can Practice and somebody else's mouth. I know I'm not supposed to tell you that Don't actually put your instrument underneath the gums or anything. Just practice with somebody else Your you know family friends roommate whatever with a hand mirror Um practice that way that will help you If you're practicing with instruments inside the mouth, just don't obviously touch anything because you don't have that skill yet So just be careful Practice makes perfect. It took me a while Definitely a while Um, yeah, amanda, they probably want um won't talk to you about loops until you start clinic Like pre-clinic is one thing but once you start seeing your like student partners, they're going to talk to you about it Um, so you don't need them anytime soon But just so you know, they're going to talk to you or try to talk to you to get like the $2,000 loops or something In my opinion, you don't need them unless you want to spend the money you you know have the money whatever But it's kind of nice to get cheaper loops, right and they come with a light which is so important get the light Is you're even probably starting to see now in pre-clinic You need the light, don't you it's hard to see inside those little mouths um Oh, great. So temping as a hygienist. I was a temp before um Let me think what haven't I said in my temping video. So definitely keep watching those. There's probably a ton um Any tips like basically be as prepared as possible You can only be as prepared as you can being in a new office. You don't know what to expect but arrive early The best tip I can give you is to check with the office And say can I come half an hour early? Can I come 45 minutes early? Will the office be open? I want to be able to see where I'm going to work see where everything is What x-ray system you use I would love to talk to the dentist first to just say hi um That kind of thing because in my experience like if you come like 15 minutes before You know, they have to show you where your room is they have to show you where everything is They're not going to have time So you're going to bring the patient back and then be like, okay. I'm just updating your chart. Oh, shoot Where are the charts? Who are you? What's your name like? Ah and Ask what they expect of you too. They might expect you to book the next appointment They might expect you to Put the codes through I would hope not like since you're new You probably won't be expected to book appointments put the codes in the computer that kind of thing, but um I would ask Ask if they're paperless as well. Like do they have paper charts? Do they have like I could talk about being attempt for hours Maybe I should have a course for that too. Actually, that's not a bad idea. Is it Huh, but in the meantime definitely watch the youtube videos and if you have questions, let me know And I'm here now. So if you have any questions Oh, I have um Tori too Can I show you guys can I do a screen share to show you guys what tori is? Do you want to see mine? I have tori too. So for those of you who are like, what the heck is tori? Tori is like a A bump of a bone in the mouth either on the bottom on on the palette I will show you guys mine if you want to see it I don't know but tori is a piece of bone or some like bony pieces in the mouth Um, they told you you have tori. They probably told you not to worry about it, right? It's extremely common It's no big deal. Don't even worry about it. Some people have it. Some people don't it doesn't affect you in any way shape or form It's just you have bony lumps in your mouth. That's all That's all So I hope that helps. Let me know if I didn't answer something Oh, um, so you're um planning to become a dental assistant You know what you can take the teeth whitening course anytime. Can I ask where are you located? Like where do you live? Um, you can take the course anytime because for a dental assistant and a non dental professional It's the same. So if you want I can leave the link for you But I want to know where you're located first Because there might be a slight difference Oh, thank you. Maybe it's my red christmasy lab coat and I brushed my hair today you guys that makes a difference, doesn't it? I don't always brush my hair behind the scenes you guys. I'm wearing sweat pants I'm like wearing a sweatshirt. That's two sizes too big So but I try to look presentable when I'm going on youtube um New york Yes, you can take the course anytime. I am going to Post the link for you. Um addy. Sorry if I'm pronouncing your name wrong I posted the link right now You can take the course anytime and I think that's actually very exciting because that will kind get you More excited to be a dental assistant. I think I think Um, you can have your own teeth wining business You don't have to be a dental professional yet Even if you are a dental professional things don't change You would just be allowed to use a higher strength peroxide for less time. Who cares? You are completely fine. You would do a great job. I am here to help As you can see, this is me. I am here to help you In fact, it's very popular to take the teeth wining course now because the holidays are coming And the new year everybody wants their teeth wined. That would be a great gift certificate to give people, right? So you could have a great side business happening not even a side business And that can help you pay for dental assisting school. I wish I thought about it when I was in school Actually addy that would be a good marketing plan when um wouldn't it help pay for school start your own teeth wining business How funny is that because expenses are limited? They're not bad Yes, please let me know if you have any questions Um, sorry, I'm just catching up on the comments, Amanda Oh, oh my god. Yes, convince your brother to be a dentist Um, that would be great. You guys aren't too far from me. I would love If I knew like a dentist and a hygienist like brother sister combo, that would be so cool That would be so cool Um, oh, I see we have somebody from England. That is awesome I have a lot of youtube watchers from england. How funny is that like I do And like you guys are all so nice by the way just saying like such nice comments My oppa used to go to england all the time because he was from england So that's just kind of how I I feel like I know about england from him What are some common questions I get from patients? I think I even have a youtube video on this Um, they can range like are you thinking anything specific, Amanda? Like I can just think of now some common question Like are you thinking in regards to my dental hygiene business or like in a dental office? Like what are some common questions they would ask like coming into the dental office Good I am very happy that they're helpful. That is good. That's the name of the game. I want to be helpful for you guys I wish I knew somebody who had a youtube channel like this when I was a student. Oh my god. That would have been so nice Oh somebody from pakistan very exciting. Hello. Thank you for coming on But um, Amanda just in general Um some common questions I get from patients Um, that's a really good question like I'm trying to narrow it down like Right now as silly as it sounds um, a lot of patients are asking questions like oh my insurance is about to run out in like a month I need to be booked in Like right away. Can you see me? Um, some other common questions are do I really have to floss every day? Do I have to brush twice a day? Like really? Um other patients asking me a lot like what is gingivitis? Like I've heard of this gingivitis term. What is it? Not a lot of people know what like gingivitis is or plaque tartar. Those are very common questions I'm a mobile dental hygienist. So In regards to my own practice the most common questions I get are so what is a mobile dental hygienist like Um, do you come into my house? Do you have a van that I have to go into? That sounds creepy But you know, that's what people ask me. Um, how does being a mobile dental hygienist work? How are things portable? How much does it cost? Do you charge extra? Um, but again just an overall Um, Amanda does that help that's such an easy question for me, but I can't really think I feel like I need to narrow it down More for you patients have a lot of questions like let's just say as a new dental hygienist, okay Going into the office. You're new. What can you expect patients to ask you? They will ask you oh, I've never seen you before. How long have you been here? That will be very very common. They will ask you how much does this cost? You'll say, I don't know ask the receptionist. Um, they'll ask you things like, um, do I have cavities? You know, and you'll say, I don't know Ask the dentist Things like that. You'll get that a lot for sure Um, yes from the UK I I'm actually teaching a lot of students right now how to start their own teeth whitening business in England I guess that's not a very popular thing there Um, it is going to be because I'm teaching at least five students right now Not from the same part of England, but I think that's really neat because um, All my students are telling me like in in England you guys really like teeth So like you care about your teeth The dentistry is a bit different in England though. They Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but I had a patient tell me like in England They are used to having their teeth cleaned for like 15 minutes Um, when I cleaned a patient's teeth who just moved from England a couple months ago It was an hour and like 15 minute appointment and they were kind of like Wow, that took a long time. So you guys clean teeth differently for sure So I think that's very interesting, but I've never been to England myself Amanda does that help? I just kind of answered some generic questions for you And thank you guys by the way for clicking like That does help my channel. It does. I don't know how youtube works But like the more likes I get I think I get paid. So it's pretty cool. You guys That helps me give time to do these amazing videos Live streams all of that. So please click like if you haven't already and definitely click subscribe too Because you can see these live streams more often. I do upload videos at least a couple times a week You can comment ask questions. I am here for you guys um Oh really? Yes a probing. So those pockets very important. We need to be doing them at least once a year Very important. So you'll learn more about that in school. Um, but yes It's at least once a year in the real world when I used to work in practice because it does take a couple minutes a lot of hygienists Run out of time so they don't do it so it can be three years before they've had a full period charting done That's bad. Um, it has to be every year so important because That period charting. I don't know how much you've learned about it yet, but that period charting charting the pockets I'm surprised you haven't had it done. Um, how old are you Amanda? Like, okay You don't you don't have to answer that if you if you don't want to but once you turn like 18 You should be getting the period pockets done um probed I don't like using the word probe because I feel like people are like what you're probing me. Um, Okay, so maybe that's why you haven't had it yet. They're probably doing it at your next appointment But um, what was I trying to say doing the pocketing so the the periodontal pockets that checks for periodontal disease We don't know what form of periodontal disease you have unless we take those numbers So you'll learn more about that in school. I don't want to overwhelm you. Um Amanda I don't I don't know. Um, you don't have to be but I do have a dental hygiene student academy program Where I help you throughout school if you feel like you need the help. Okay, you don't need it, of course Um, unless you want it, but I can definitely help you with all of this if you need help um Is aggressive periodontitis curable without flap surgery I don't I don't know without seeing you some forms are you don't need flap surgery. You can maintain it Um, but some are not you need the flap surgery if you don't get it It might get worse and then you lose your teeth, but I do not know It really depends. I would need to see you in person Oh good, I am so happy I do like to come on live because I can't always read the comments you guys Soon enough. I'm busy. I'm sorry I tried to get to the comments, but then more and more pile up and I can't always answer them So I really like these lives They're fantastic Any other questions you guys In florida. Yes, you can there are certain. Um, sorry. I guess I should read that Can you start a teeth-winning business in florida? Yes, you can but there are certain regulations Um, you need a different type of insurance and you can only use a certain percent of peroxide and the self-administered method But I go through all of that inside the course if you want to but yes, you can You can absolutely. I can leave the link for you for the teeth-winding course. Um, I actually have several I want to see yesterday. Um teeth whitening students from florida signed up so It's getting popular there, which is fantastic And you know what so, um, somebody said they had their first dental cleaning at age 52. That's okay It's never too late to start. I think that's fantastic. Good for you. And if you're if you're anything like me I'm anxious about the unknown. So once you had your cleaning, you might have felt better about it, right? And not so so anxious I'm anxious with the unknown. So I would have been anxious too But I hope you feel a lot better now and it's good to have your teeth cleaned every six months, by the way so Now you'll be more on top of it Um, how many patients do I see in a typical day? It does depend because I have my own business and I'm a mobile dental hygiene practice So if I was working in a dental office, so I do not work for a dentist anymore Um, I work for myself. I have my own business. It's just me if I worked in a dental office I would typically see five to eight patients a day So when you work in a dental office, Amanda, that's how many you'll probably see in my own practice It depends. I might go to one house and see a family of five people and that's perfect for me If I go to a house and just see one person I'll probably go to another house and see one person or five people It really depends on how my how my schedule works Um a schedule for the dental profession is like a puzzle. You're constantly Putting pieces together. If a patient cancels you have to be like, oh, I have to put somebody else in that spot, right? But they have to um Fit the time they have to fit this, you know that um And as a mobile dental hygienist if somebody cancels then I have to say okay this person cancelled from london ontario I I need to fit in another patient from london ontario Not from like woodstock or st. Thomas because then I'd have to travel too much So my typical day really does depend. It is Different like yesterday. I saw two people. Um, or was that the day before? On the weekend. I saw five people Um, like on a on a saturday on the friday before I saw one person the thursday I think I saw four so you get the idea. It's varied for sure I like being able to create my own schedule And good I am so glad that you were okay after your dental cleaning because it can be overwhelming Especially if that was your first cleaning you probably had a lot of tartar a lot of plaque a lot of stain That's why people go every six months. So it's easier for them, right? But you probably have a lot but good for you. It's going to be easier from now on so keep it up every six months. That's fantastic Um, uh, yes, I've heard that a lot. There are a lot of teeth whitening courses out there a hundred percent Um, I even have a youtube video on this where I talk about You know not to make myself sound better, but my teeth whitening course is the full thing You don't learn how to whiten teeth in two hours. That's not going to help you But that's what a lot of these pop up Teeth whitening courses are I'm a dental professional So I have training to teach a teeth whitening course consulting My course involves the full Business aspect as well So I teach you how to start how to be comfortable with You know clients I teach you how to market advertise. I teach you bookkeeping. I teach you how to make money I teach you all of that Um, I do offer a theory only portion So that's cheaper depending on what materials you already have You might not need it again, but it depends on your materials if if the proxides aren't FDA approved I would suggest getting them through me. You get the the wholesale account afterwards as well So yes, it would be an additional expense But by the by the sounds of it you're not Confident to start right so you're kind of Not doing anything anyway. I don't know you can email me if you want I can talk more about this further, but I'd like to help you because there's no point taking a course If you can't do anything about it, right? Or you don't feel confident in starting Um, yes, you might have to spend a bit more money Um, like to take my course if you want to no pressure But I would teach you how to start and be confident and like you would be Making tons of money because that's what I teach in my course. I want you guys to be successful I teach every single student one on one how to make money Right away and if you're not I teach you, you know, I figure out. Well, why aren't you making money? Are you not advertising? Are your prices too high too low? Um, our man 70 75. Sorry. Do you have any questions? I I am here. I am very happy to answer your questions. Absolutely Um, Amanda if your mom has a dead tooth that won't be painful because it's a dead tooth. Um, so she doesn't have to worry about that um You could just tell her it's not going to be painful She can be one of your patients by the way, that would be pretty cool But I do understand the fear like if she doesn't know she doesn't know but you know What I tell patients who say to me like I'm scared. It's been several years. I don't want it to be painful I say this is actually exactly what I say. I say I will not make it painful for you. I take my time, you know TLC I take my time. I do what I can Without causing you pain you will not be painful because I take my time Um, when things are painful, it's because the dental hygienist doesn't take her or his time They're think about cleaning an oven if you haven't cleaned an oven in 20 years It's going to be really hard, right? Like you have to get in there clean that oven Or you can take your time layer by layer. It's going to be easier for you Easier on the oven, you know, it's the same thing with teeth So you can tell her she just has to let the hygienist know, you know, she's concerned about the pain They will take their time and work with her Oh, yes, if it's been um, like several years, we normally break up the appointment So we would not clean the whole mouth in one day because that would be painful probably for her So like they would go like quad one maybe one appointment quad to another appointment I'm not sure if you've learned the quads yet or just the sextants, but um, yes, they can absolutely break it up And they would probably want to anyway Yes, feel free to email me anytime Carrie that's a good question. I bring along my piezo scaler So I do hand scale and I also use my piezo scaler to clean with the water with the ultrasonic It's very easy to set up believed or not In fact, I might even have a youtube video on my mobile dental hygiene setup So maybe type in like mobile dental hygiene setup or Dental hygiene setup or appointment setup or something. I probably have it all in there somewhere I know I have it in my mobile rdh academy course But I should have like a free video on youtube too Oh, sorry, uh, somebody just said why am I not answering you? I missed your comment. That's why um Some of these things I've never heard of to be honest is Doxycycline dooming chlorhexidine Is that beneficial for gingivitis? You don't need anything special for gingivitis um, what you need for gingivitis Is to brush and floss with a toothpaste with a good toothpaste Um, oh, um, that's an antibiotic. You don't need an antibiotic for gingivitis Unless you have a really bad form of gingivitis Like a severe form then they might prescribe that to you, but that's infection um, if you have let's say early gingivitis, you don't need an antibiotic and that can be cured with proper brushing flossing using a water flosser And having your teeth cleaned very very well I know I have a video on that as well on my youtube channel if you do a search in my youtube channel on gingivitis on gum disease I don't know what keywords I used but that that will help you I kind of explain like the different types The different types of gingivitis like when you need antibiotics when you don't So that would definitely help because I could talk about that for hours too. So that's a great question Um, did I miss anything else? Yes, Amanda. It's very overwhelming at the beginning of the program for sure But I promise you it all comes together. Trust me. I've been there done that. I've taught Thousands of students It all comes together by like even the second third semester You'll be like a pro You'll be like I got this. Why was this so hard for me at the beginning? You'll see Hello, so nice to see you guys Ah, the stillman and the bass technique the stillman technique This is how I think about it. Okay, so the bass technique is more um into the sulcus Whereas the stillman technique is a little closer to the gingival margin Does that make sense? So I recommend this the stillman technique to basically every patient The bass technique if they have deep pockets. I recommend the bass technique So hopefully that helps Gingival hyperplasia is different. That is something where the gums Are really starting to swell. There's swelling. There's redness. Um in gingivitis. You don't necessarily have both so I don't like to use antibiotics for the gums unless it's really necessary I will tell the patient to brush Use the water pick, you know, um use some mouthwash even and have their teeth cleaned um even every three months if every let's say nine months a little um nine months later The gums haven't healed up properly. They should if they haven't um If they haven't then I might suggest an antibiotic, but we don't like to prescribe antibiotics first That should be a last resort same with if you're sick You don't automatically take antibiotics if you have a cold. You have to figure out. Well, is it an infection? Do I need antibiotics? The mouth is no difference. So I hope that that helps but It depends on the dentist where you're going That that might be their first resort, you know, and that's fine That's up to them, but that's just not how I treat my patients Um, sorry guys just catching up on the comments. Thank you guys so much for commenting. These are great comments. Thank you Thank you guys. I love dental too Um, great question the theory portion.

I'm student to become a dentist in the uk. I don't know I'm sorry just because I'm not From there, but I suggest just contacting like the dental association there and they can help you They can give you all of the steps Ah chris great question. I actually just had this question the other day. So a lot of um gingival barriers You don't need a curing light. You're okay to use the led light But the thing is it would be easier to use the curing light if you have one because it's quicker So if you have a curing light use that if you don't Then the led light should work fine But it depends on the wavelength Of the led light and I so I can't answer that for you It depends on the type of gingival barrier you purchase and the led light wavelength. So does that help? um, I hope I answered your question Actually salt water is better in my opinion than listerine because listerine has like extra Like additives essential oils in there that isn't often needed Salt water is all natural gets right in there Um for salt water use a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water Um swish around for a good 10 seconds. Do that throughout the day. It's it's amazing I use salt water for everything if I feel like I have a cold sore coming Salt water gets rid of it if I cut my mouth with like a popcorn kernel Salt water gets rid of it. It's amazing stuff I recommend salt water to almost every patient even after a deep cleaning And if the gums are bleeding a lot, I say salt water. It's cheap You don't have to pay a lot for it just for the salt. It's amazing Um Warm salt water rinse is it okay to leave it on your teeth you can like swish. That's a good question Salt isn't sugar. So you're fine. Um, in fact, I would not rinse afterwards because you want the salt water to work It's magic. So I would not rinse afterwards actually That's a good question. Have fun in pre clinic. That's exciting. Have fun. Good luck Um, sorry guys. I'm just catching up on some comments Yes, like feel free to ask any questions absolutely Ooh, um, odontogenic cysts cysts are honestly tricky because every cyst is different.
