 Hello everybody Andrea Mayesky here with dental tutoring. So I'm surprised that I may have done this before because I've had my YouTube channel now for about Three years, I believe and I remember when I was a student even when I was a new dental hygienist I wanted to know what the day in the life was of the dental hygienists And there's other people out there who talk about their life as a dental hygienist So I should be doing the same thing and mine's a little bit different because I work twice a week at the dental office, sometimes three. I was a temp as well So I can share some experience on that, but I tutor primarily full-time So my days might be a little bit different and I look at things a little bit different too I've been a dental in the dental profession for about 14 years now when I've been tutoring for that long as well I was a dental assistant then a dental hygienist and then a restorative hygienist after that So I can offer a little bit of extra insight for you But first I want to show you guys kind of what I bring to the dental office because I've been getting a lot of questions about this so Since I work twice a week and that's it sometimes different offices, too I just kind of put everything in this bag here. I Keep it simple. I did have a purse But I found I needed something wider and I needed something bigger Just simply because I'm going to multiple offices. So I can't just leave my shoes there I can't just leave my uniform there. So I like to have have have everything with me plus if I bring a lunch I can easily kind of put it in here So I found getting something longer helped me more. I did have actually the same pattern bag before But it was shorter and I guess wider But I find that I couldn't put as much in there. So this just simply works for me It's not completely full, but I just find it looks nicer and it's just a Lot easier to kind of carry around with me. So I Usually have my keys. Okay, that's kind of obvious And in one of the offices that I have we do have something where we have to click it to check in So I made sure to have that With me here. I do have my new whoops my name tag as you guys can see I did order this myself from Etsy I can leave the link for you on the bottom. I do have my uniform, of course depending on the office that I go to There are different uniforms Let's see. I mean I have pens. I find that I always bring a lot of pens with me because depending on the office I Swear they run out of pens or I might have one pen and nobody else seems to have any pens And if you deal with paper charts, you need a pen So I probably have at least three in my bag. I have three in my pocket, you know Red and blue seems to be the color. So that's what I like to bring like if there is a cavity Then you would mark that in red Or blue of course for everything else if you're writing in the chart if you're putting in the next treatment If you're putting in the codes for the day pretty much anything Let's see here My loops I keep in this bag because I don't just want to throw my loops in there because they're like what $2,000 Loops, I can't remember. So I do have my loops always in the bag here and I do have a separate video where I talk about the type of loops I have so be sure to watch that if you are interested. I have a light for my loops very important I typically keep actually the charger in here too if I run out of charge because I need my light So if I do run out of charge in between a patient I will just quickly plug it in and then it will be at least charged up enough for the next patient I'd say if I let it run a full charge at home, it takes about four hours But it does work. It seems for the rest of that day if I need it I did buy actually a calendar to keep track of my schedule because sometimes I have Tuesdays off, you know But then sometimes I work six hours on Tuesdays instead of four or I usually work every other Friday But then sometimes I work two Fridays in a row. So it's just easier to keep track of everything here So I find that that's extremely helpful. It was like what two bucks. I think You know, it just has Everything here so that I can keep track and it has islands on it. I bought this Before we were on our honeymoon. So I just liked to kind of look at the islands because it got me excited What else you guys I typically just put my wallet in here So not my whole purse or anything But I just kind of keep my wallet in there in case I need it Your driver's license money if you go out to eat things like that But that's literally all I have But it just helps so if I have a sweater I can just kind of throw that in there if I have a lunch I can throw it in there, but it doesn't look like You know, it's overly full. So I like it. I like to be simple Oh, and I wanted to show you guys else. I do always keep in a spray. It's not a perfume. It's a mist, okay? Yes, there are a lot of Rules that you're not allowed to wear perfume or sense of any kind I'll admit I just spray this twice because it just makes me feel good, you know I don't wear perfume or mists for other people. I just like to have a nice scent to me if that makes sense I'm sure a lot of you will be commenting that I shouldn't be wearing a mist at all But I do it hasn't caused problems if it ever does if if I was ever told to not wear the mist Of course, I wouldn't but it's not like other people notice. It's just kind of a nice little scent. So I Buy the sample sizes from back and body works like once a year because I just kind of like to use a different one Fackle spray. So now this is obviously the winter scent, but it smells so good This hand cream you guys is amazing here. Let me kind of Focus that there. Can you guys see that? It is amazing? I will leave the link On the bottom for you if you want to order it Honestly, it's the best hand cream ever because we have to wash our hands after every patient Sometimes I wash my hands before the patient and at the end of the patient and then before my next one if it's a really Yucky case that I like to wash my hands a lot obviously and Hands can get dry since I have been using this my hands just feel and look So much better And that brings me to my next point. I I am allowed to wear a nail polish. Thank goodness. I love Nail polish. I mean, I do I do if I'm not wearing nail polish. I don't feel as feminine I don't know. It's just me. So that's why I have nail polish on I don't wear my actual Wedding ring. So this is like a simple ring from Pandora in case you guys wanted to see Because my wedding rings expensive. I don't want it to get yucky since we're always washing the hands Did I mention it's expensive? So I don't I don't want to lose it somehow or have something happen to it Since we are always working with our hands, but I'm married and I like to show that so I do just have kind of a little thing there I don't typically wear a necklace because I find that that just looks too much But I do like to wear earrings. So I do kind of switch it up What else? Oh, I do always wear my lip sense So if you guys are looking for a lipstick that will not come off on your mask See guys, it does not come off. It's amazing. It lasts all day I do wear my lip sense and I have the gloss in the purse to just Help it stay moisturized because with lip sense If you haven't heard of it before It will actually bond to the lips. So so you need a lip color You need a gloss to keep it moisturized and you need the remover to take it off at night So if you guys are interested in trying some lip sense, I will leave the link on the bottom And a code to get a discount. So if you guys are interested, honestly, it's amazing. Um, but yeah, you guys Oh, and I typically have my glasses too Um, but I wear loops So I don't usually use my glasses because I always have the loops on anyway, but if I need them I do have them in my bag Um, and my fitbit. I guess I should mention that I have my And I do try to walk around the office a lot. I do try to stretch because you need to stretch Okay, you guys. So I hope you found this interesting.
