Am I in the wrong?Are we both wrong?Is this a toxic job?? We had a temp hYG come into the office. She brought over her pt to the Dr. Side(past the front)for an exam and X-rays, but they weren’t needed. The other asst. took them/exam done on WRONG pt. My manager asked me who was to blame. I said all of us. Back,front,hyg, and management. The whole office. She said she is not to blame. I said I think she is. She then said we are done talking, we are done to me and turned around.
Iwas in a prep.

What I’ve learned working in the dental field is that everyone wants to blame each other and not take any accountability. If your coworkers/manager do things that go against your beliefs, find a job where you have coworkers/manager that respect you.

Temp hyg should have already had the schedule explained to her with who needed an exam/X-rays (although we know how to chart audit as well) coming into an office blind can be difficult as a temp.You are right — everyone dropped the ball. But as a type A person that I am and a frequent temping hygienist I audit the schedule before I start the day as well bc I like to know what is e or of me and I can ask any questions about each patient as needed

There’s no need to feel misunderstood by management or co-workers. That’s why they are managers, to manage operations in general, and support staff. Everyone has a role to do, and do it to the best of the company/employee’s standards. If you are encountering “who is the one to be blamed”, or “done taking” kind of situation, then you are in front of “it’s my way or the high way” scenario here. All parts are somehow responsible because a temp, needs to know the office work routines to avoid this.

I have done quite a bit of temping up until recently. Rarely do they really prepare you. They mostly just throw you in and good luck to you. I have all but stopped temping.

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo?

Hello everyone I have 29 years as a dental professional in Texas. I started as a dental assistant back in 1993. As my career progressed as a RDA, I moved to the front office and eventually management. I even taught dental assistants and became the Program Director of a DA program. COVID opened up remote work for me, I manage eclaims, claims corrections and billing for two offices. $20 per hour, no bonuses or incentives, I know I am not getting paid enough! Any input would be appreciated.

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate
