 Hello everybody, Andrew Maeski here with dental L mobile hygiene. So let's talk about how dentistry is changing and for the better So with anything things change over time, but I have been amazed even at the Response at I had started my dental hygiene mobile practice last year And you know as with anybody we always have our doubts like oh should I really be doing this? I've been in in business now So a dental professional for about 14 years almost 15 years, and I thought okay now I want to start my own practice Should I start my my my own like shop somewhere like my own dental office because as a dental hygienist an independent dental hygienist we can start our own practices There's always Limitations we can't take x-rays. We can't do a dental exam, but we can do everything else But more about that later, but so I thought okay, so should I start my own dental office like somewhere else But prices are high and I wanted to really do something that gave back the most You know I I wanted to do something where I can see anxious Patients in the comfort of their of their own home So they actually want to get their teeth clean where they want to see their dental Hygienist because they feel more comfortable I wanted to see children in their own home where I have the time to be patient with them You know two-year-olds who have a mouthful of cavities at a dental office Their first resort is to put them to sleep to get their work done when quite often if you're patient with them Yes, and it might take ten minutes longer, but you can fix small cavities in the dental chair or at at home I took my my advanced Certification as a restorative dental hygienist about five years ago. Oh, sorry guys. My dog's American must be somebody there But I don't see anybody I took my advanced skills certificate about five years ago now And that allows me to fix tiny cavities. I can polish on a melgums polish composites I can do a lot of things that dentists can do but I can't give needles and I can't pick up that high speed Handpiece but that allows me to look into other Ways that I can do things to help kids where you know You don't always have to pick up that needle or pick up that high speed handpiece to fix things There are other ways, so I'm like a mini dentist, but not a dentist I'm a dental hygienist from kind of like a mini dentist where I do have advanced skills And I also specialize in seeing children So that has really helped so much because and it doesn't even have to be children But just seniors who can't make it out of their home or they can but it's just a lot harder You know if you have a chronic illness of some kind Yes, you might be able to make it out of your home But it takes the whole day to get it to get everything set up for a one-hour dental appointment Well, how about I come to you so I love being able to to Provide that need for so many people so dentistry is Changing mobile dental hygiene is the most amazing thing for kids adults. It doesn't matter seniors I clean teeth in nursing homes. I Clean teeth in a hospital if you have to be there for a long period of time I see anxious patients who say to me I'm nervous to go to the dentist. I had a horrible experience. I don't want to go again. You come to my house That's the most amazing thing So people just love it and just being in the comfort of your own home not having to go anywhere So you don't have to pay for Travel you might not have a car It might take you an hour to get anywhere if you take a bus You don't have to do that because I come to you people's lives are busy I I even see people in their office because they get one one hour for lunch They're like, I don't have time to go to the dentist. You come to me. Do you come to my office, too? Yes I do I go to you. It doesn't matter where you are As long as you're inside somewhere I Come to you so you don't have to worry about any of that, you know We we always say get your teeth cleaned every six months, but people don't have the time Well, guess what I come to you. So there's no extra time for you. I bring everything that I need You don't have to worry about a thing. I have a chair Instruments air water suction everything. You don't have to worry about a thing. I do it all and Patients love it every single patient that I have seen has said yeah, I kind of wanted to give this a try This is the most amazing thing ever I'm gonna tell everybody What you do because this is amazing. So keep it up you guys keep on spreading the word. I love to see everybody I have gotten so Busy which is excellent to the point where I do see certain Cities on certain days. So I I used to maybe see a couple of patients a day, which is excellent, right? But I see certain Areas every single day because I don't only travel within my town I go about an hour away an hour and a half sometimes depending on where and how many people I'm seeing So I see certain people in certain areas on certain days the more people that are in the same house That's perfect because that's less You know lugging for me to do right like to the car from the car the next house the next office the next hospital So I do try to see as many people as I can but people love it and kids are just having a better Experience adults are having a better experience. I have everything and more That that a dental office has just no needles No needles and no x-rays that should be the topic of this video Because who wants a needle who wants x-rays really nobody but you do still have to get those x-rays done By the way, I will likely tell you that you should still have a dental checkup every two years to get x-rays done But more about that later everybody's different So I do kind of go from there and you know what I see a lot of people that to be honest with you say I'm not going to go to a dental office. It's not happening. I'm not gonna get x-rays done. It's not happening That's okay I'm just happy that I can see you and get a good cleaning in there get a good dental hygiene exam in there If I see cavities, I let you know I can fix small cavities as long as it's not near the nerve I can fix small cavities because I do have that advanced skill that not every dental hygienist has but I do have it So why not I had been to school many times many many times no more But that is how I can treat my patients the best that I possibly can So thank you guys for listening if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll talk to you guys in the next one
