I agree! We Dental Assistants use INSTRUMENTS not tools! We also use many more instruments than these.
I appriciate the video. It was useful.
I understand there are more instruments and duties the dental assistant use and perform, you wouldn’t mind sending me direct links to any other videos concerning the dental field that you might have, that would be helpful. Thank you^^
I can’t believe some people think all we do is put a bib on and suck spit!!! I have been an assistant for 30 yeas and still love dentistry, but dentists suck!
these are tools that dont bother me but the drilling hurts so bad thursday afternoon four fillings
guy needs help!
How can you call instruments tools?
He is fixing the mouth not a car!
Dental Assistants Rock!
I would like to salute all the dental assistants out there that do a great job . In my opinion it was my stepping stone to becoming a dentist and I love what I do.
If it wasn’t for dental assistants the ship would sink.
We are the backbone of a well runned practice even though they don’t think so.
Most dentist have no clue of what a dental assistant really does. Therefore, I don’t understand why he is doing the video.=Dental Assistants Rock!
Dr.D The Toothfairy!
why do some dentist’s think that we are window lickers omg can’t stand it!!!!!!!!
i agree hes making it seem way more simple than it actually is, and missing alot of instruments that we pass and must know.
ya this video sure missed a hell lots of things. I must say as long as any ’shit’ part of the work which the dentist are lazy to do.. WE’LL DO. I’ve been in this for the pass 10 years.. sometime we can be better than new young dentist who are just out from school.. haha..
I agree.. he makes the dental assistants job seem like theres nothing to it. definitely not the case.. not to mention forecepes for putting the clamp on for the dam, the pfi, lining instruments or even the difference in instruments for amalgam and composite.. this video missed alot of info about the dental assistants tools.
yeah the dental assistant may use those 3 the most… but what about all the tools we hand to the dentist? for instance, the basic setup – mouth mirror, dental explorer, periodontal prob, and cotton plyers. then to mix material, the dental spatula. and amalgam carrier, dycal instrument, amalgam plugger/condenser, hollenback, cleiod/discoid, ball burnishers, carvers, etc… and then the materials!! Dycal, Vitrebond, acid etch (obviously for composite) base catylist.. Ur missing a lot
Thanks for all the info doc
my dentist better not get any lessons from the internet
u succeed at life lmfao newb
