 Hello everybody, Andrea Maesky here with Dental L. So I have owned my own mobile dental hygiene practice But I have also been a tutor for dental hygiene and dental assisting students since 2005 So clearly I love what I do. I do still work in a dental office as well And now that my newest course the mobile RDH Academy, which I will show you guys that actually in a second But now that it is getting a lot a lot Larger we have some amazing new members, which which makes me so happy Because I had started the course a couple months ago because I wanted to instill the passion and other dental hygienists who wanted to start their own practice and give them help and So much needed guidance on how to do it but to also give them help from somebody who had started her own practice me Fairly recently like I haven't been been doing this for ten years I started last year, but I did learn a lot along the way There's always so many questions of what company do I purchase from where did you purchase from do I get a Business license first do I apply for a loan first? How much do I have to apply for? Do I want a mobile practice? Do I want my own storefront somewhere? How much is this going to cost me do I have to get more insurance? You know as you guys can tell there's tons of questions And I could have probably sit there all day like eight hours a day and just answered emails from Questions that people had and I am more than happy to answer them But I just don't have the time to do that. So what I thought about doing was to start my own course So mobile RDH Academy I did I did start that last year and I do add things Every single week because the more questions people ask me I do a video such as such as this one and I talk about them and even some of the some of the questions That people ask me I think oh my goodness. That is a great question Why haven't I talked about this before I had the same questions when I first started and I don't I don't know About you guys, but I just find it more comfortable to be able to talk to somebody like like this Yes, I'm not in person, but I'm online You can listen to me talk as long as you want I have tons of stuff inside the course. In fact, I can show you guys that now if you like Just a little sneak peek. I'm just gonna because I was updating the course now So just as an example what the course looks like so once you're inside the mobile RDH Academy, so this is just what the main page looks like where I talk about it Do do sorry guys just taking a second to load and just simply Why and how I go through all of the steps for you from literally just thinking about wanting to start your own practice To thinking oh my goodness. Can I do this? Is it worth it? Like is it worth it? Are you getting patience? You know, so I talk about all of that from just even thinking about it to starting and then to Keeping to do it. I guess what's the word I'm looking for to keep at it to get patience so The login page looks like this So there's four modules all together and the nice thing is is you can join our private Facebook group Which I can show you guys that too. Sorry. Let me just pause this for one moment There everybody sorry So I just quickly opened up the Facebook group and you can see that I did actually just upload a video like eight minutes ago I don't want to show you guys any of the post because I don't want to give the members names away because they might not want that But there's 75 members. I believe now, which is awesome We are having so much fun Just simply asking questions like as silly as that sounds But it's nice to be able to if you think of a question like Hey, how much does it cost the typical dental hygienist to start her own practice in her own home? You know, you can post a question and then you will get at least 10 answers like right away because there's 75 people in there and we're more than happy to help Um, because for me, I mean I have a mobile practice But I do also want to start my own practice in my own home too So I can give you the low down on a mobile practice, which somebody who has their own Storefront practice might know nothing about but at the same time If you're thinking well, I kind of want to start my own like storefront practice Well, then they can help you too. So there's so much knowledge so much insight and we are very very happy to help But this is what the modules look like here So I'm just going to show you guys inside a few of them So module one is just pretty much where I want you all to start. So This is step one or step like negative one where you know, or you think you know, you want to start your own practice But you don't know if you can do it. So you might be doubting yourself and saying Can I do this? How did you do it? You know, so I go through all of that Even when I was first starting my practice I went through like week one my thoughts My who who I was calling who I was talked to Who I was talking to who was I not talking to the Many mistakes that I made in the beginning that weren't the end of the world But if somebody had just told me and pointed me in the right direction, it would have been so much easier I talk about insurance the The difficulties I had with that because I didn't know where to start. I had never dealt with insurance before So I talked to guys honestly about all of that like look just as an example I'd say the most popular video so far was this one here where it says a seventeen hundred dollar chair Versus a two hundred dollar chair. What's the difference? Which one did I go with? You guys will have a look inside the video, right? So I go through all of that And trust me more is being added every single week. So even everything you see now This isn't even like half of it. Um, and then I actually show you guys inside module two Everything that I have so my portable unit how I set it up how I take it down My dollar store organizing because there is a lot of things that I got from the dollar store that has saved me a fortune Where I could have gotten something very similar at a dental company paid three times more probably even more than that But the dollar store one works just fine amazon. I talked about amazon you guys I talk about whitening. I talk about the polisher that I use The whole works. It's amazing if I can say that I I think the course is amazing I wish I had something like this to watch when I was Starting my own business. So that's why I want to help all of you guys because I know all of the questions you have I know it's very confusing But at the same time is I want to make you guys excited About starting your own practice because it's the best thing I've ever done I will help you guys with coming up with with prices how to get patients all of that Um, this module here is still in the works because it's the last one where I was uploading for you guys some product sheets and The safety sheets as well because every product you own you need to have that in a manual somewhere So just like a dental office We're kind of lucky though because we probably don't have nearly as much as a dental office has If you guys look at my basement where I have my sterilizer and like everything I have a ton of stuff down there, which is all Inside the chorus because I do show you guys everything So yeah, so if you guys have any questions, let me know if you're interested in the course here Let me just stop sharing my screen here. I will um put the link for you guys on the bottom of the video But if you need anything have questions If you're even just thinking about about starting your own practice send me an email I am more than happy to talk to anybody. So good luck with everything. Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
