 Hello everybody, Andrew Maski here with dental L. So you guys know me by now. I am real. I am honest So here's a real and honest video for you all. I am getting very annoyed with dental hygiene Facebook groups out there full disclosure not all of them, of course not but I Don't feel like I can ask questions. I don't feel like I can comment I don't feel like I can do anything because there's always people out there that are negative and they want to Attack you for having a different opinion, you know Somebody posted a question the other day about whether we're pro fluoride or we're against it. I am pro Fluoride I like to comment, you know, I like to interact but man people's comments were just so negative But I want to talk to you guys about a very specific case and please comment and let me know your thoughts, too Maybe I'm in the wrong. I don't think so, but I would like your opinions on that So I was an admin for a Facebook group. I'm not going to mention the name A dental hygiene Facebook group. Let's just put it that way. So I was helping out With posts, you know admin duties, you know, this actually admit of The group approached me to help her because she was just overworked. She needed help I'm like, you know what sure that would be awesome. I would be happy to help But I posted something in that page. So I was the admin so I kind of consider it my page, too I just posted a post a couple weeks ago of you know, hey guys, I'm a Dental hygienist, you know, obviously, um, I have started my own dental L mobile hygiene clinic I just wanted to share with with all of you. I'm excited So for the for those of you who want to open up your own clinic also, you know, what do it Don't let fear hold you back. Do not let money hold you back. That's what loans are for This is the best thing that I had ever done, you know, so I just kind of posted like that Well, the admin of that page that I was also the Admin of apparently a lot of members were complaining They were saying that I was selling my services because you're not allowed to sell on the page make sense And I kind of said to her the other admin. I said, I'm not selling anything I was just posting about saying yay. I'm excited. I Wanted to share my excitement with other dental hygienists out there, you know If you don't like it then move on to the next post like who cares, right? But I guess members were complaining that I was selling my services I thought that was ridiculous and very very sad So I said, oh, okay Like do you want me to word it differently because I'm just I want other Hygienists to know that if they need help I am more than happy to help them because when I was opening up my Dental hygiene practice I felt that I couldn't go to anybody for help like there was just nobody out there Who was willing to help me but I am more than happy to help anybody because I don't see anybody as Competition I think it's amazing that dental hygienists can open up their own practice But anyways, so all in all the admin was kind of like no, you know, you can't post that I was like, oh, but I'm the admin of the page like I'm not saying hey purchase now come come to me now No, I was just posting my excitement. I'm not allowed to do that So then I said, you know what I don't think this page is for me then, you know I'm kind of surprised and she just right away. She blocked me She kicked me out of the page. She kicked me out of the group, but I'm like whoa And I'm just not that type of person. So I kind of felt Weird I'm like, okay. I'm kind of annoyed like I can feel my blood pressure rising. I'm like, um Kind of pissed off now. I kind of want to message her Upset, but then I'm like no now So I just kind of sent her a message before she was she blocked me and said Because I think she mentioned that I can't post that but she didn't mention that she was going to kick me out of the entire group So when she said that I can't post that I just said, oh, okay. Well, then, you know what I don't think I'm I'm gonna post anything then because you know, maybe this page isn't for me If I can't even post my excitement about my own business Um, and I did say then then, you know what? I shouldn't be the admin because why am I working so hard to help you on this page? When I can't even do my own thing, you know, I mean, I didn't say that I think I said then, you know what? I don't think I should be the admin because I'm working really really hard to help you with this page And I feel like I can't post what I want, you know, which I think is fair, right? She blocked me kicked me out of the group. I was kind of like you're kidding, right? And it's such a sad thing because there are so many hygienists on that group that would probably Benefit from me helping them me teaching them Like I liked being a part of these groups on facebook so that I could help to answer questions to Put aside those negative dental hygienists and make things positive But I'm not posting in groups anymore. Um, even the groups that I'm a part of A lot of my posts don't get To be shown because they're monitored now by admins even if I post something it it takes like two weeks To show up on the group and by then It's already done. Like I don't need the help anymore. So I think I'm going to start my own thing Um, I do have a group now, but it's a page. It's not a group. You know what? Everybody do you guys think I should make my own group? For dental professionals. So like dental hygiene dental assisting just dental professionals What do you guys think? I never thought about that. Why don't I do that and then have it be a safe space? If you're negative though, I'm going to kick you out. That's that's the one thing I don't like negative I don't mind having different opinions, but there's a nice way to say something and there's a wrong way to say something, right? What do you guys think? Do you guys think we should have our own group? Um, what do you guys think? Please tell me I actually didn't even think about this I don't know why but then this way I can ask questions. I can ask my own questions and have people answer them I can help other hygienists and not be yelled at I kind of like that But anyways the purpose of this video was to just share the fact that I was kicked out blocked and banned From a facebook group for sharing You know the wealth for just talking about I am excited to open up my own business Fellow dental professionals, please be excited for me. So I guess that's why I have my own youtube channel So I can do what I want which is awesome Um, and you have all been awesome so far So thank you so much for your likes and for your comments Make sure to hit subscribe because I do upload often So what do you guys think should I have my own facebook group like a dental professionals one for you know students for dental professionals everybody Let me know I will talk to you guys very very soon.
