Dental Hygiene is referred to as the practice of keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy to prevent disease, as by regular brushing and flossing and visits to the dentist. Call me crazy, but that is what I want to do the rest of my life. I want to be a Dental Hygienist. I want to be the lady who greets you at the door with her elastic gloves, plastic glasses, and mask over her face.
There are so many people out there who are absolutely terrified of going to the dentist and I really don't understand it. If someone hates it that much, they must have some serious issues or they just don't take care of their teeth. The only reason the dentist should be painful is if you do not have good oral hygiene. I, on the other hand, am a freak when it comes to my mouth. I take pride in my smile, and I like to show it. Why pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for braces and not show those pearly whites off!! Smiling makes you more attractive, lightens the mood, and it is very contagious. I love making people happy, so it is nice to see others smile! I want people to feel at ease when coming for their six month check up. Personally, I love going to the dentist. It helps that my dentist office offers snacks, paraffin wax, a massage chair, and a warm towel while getting your teeth clean. Thats right, go to Doctor Painter in Ft. Wayne. He is the best, I promise! That is besides the point though. I want to help people improve their oral hygiene and enjoy coming to the dentist. So many people stress out about it, and it really doesn't have to be that bad! So quit stressing and start smiling! :)

Wow, sounds like you have an awesome dentist and have have great experiences with dentistry. Me on the other hand have had horrible experiences with dentists and oral specialists. I've been held down for shots and everything. It scares me to death to this day when ever I have to go, even as I've gotten older i know I have to just buck up and do it. I believe you teeth are important, but have missed out on my chance of braces when I was thirteen. I've thought about now as I'm older, but I am still really unsure. I feel like I am to old now what is the point. Sounds like you really enjoy it and that is a good thing. I hope my kids do not get scared of the dentis. I know they are there to help, and sound like there will be another good one in the field. You have some great advise in your blog I hope I am not the only one to reply. Good luck with your path.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!!! That is not good!! I have had wonderful experiences with dentistry. I think that is part of the reason I want to go into it. That is crazy that you have been held down before!! How many people did it take to calm ya down? I am really sorry that it makes you feel that way!! Why does it scare you so much? I feel that the more you freak out about it the more it hurts. Shots and all that do not bother me, which is why I am so relaxed about it. I want to help people like you who have trouble with that stuff. Does it scare you even when you are just getting a cleaning?? I understand what you mean about the braces thing. I guess it just depends on whether you really want perfect teeth or not! I'm sure your teeth are good though the way they are. Also, braces can be pretty pricey, it just depends on what you want or how long you want to have them. I really do enjoy it. I hope your kids are not scared!! That wouldn't be good!! If they are scared, though, I know there are some places that have pediatric dentist offices which are specifically for kids. I would love to be a pediatric dental hygienist because I love kids!! Thank you for the compliment!! I really hope to get done with school and find a job as soon as possible!! Thank you for the comment!!
