Question why do dentists believe that you should know everything on your first day when you've never worked with the dentist because all dentists are different and then get frustrated with the dental assistant who is learning the new environment I understand you have to run a business but it just seems like people just don't have patience nowadays anymore

i agree. when i was first getting into dentistry, they fired me on the spot when i took out a drill instead of a dental handpiece. i think its outrageous how little oppurtunity they give. i agree with you 100%. thank you for sharing your opinion

Unfortunately a lot of doctors are like this. I’d recommend looking for opportunities that say “no experience necessary” or “willing to train” as a start.
Otherwise I think it’s just about finding the right fit 👍

That's what I did I applied at a lot of jobs for dental assistant but the type of office I come from was still using eagle soft and a lot of places now are more events in technology and material and a lot of places didn't go with me because I didn't have this trainings and that I will start from the ground up and they just needed people who were less trainable

ask to be Onboarded by other DA’s rather than Dr

This is very true. Dont take it personal instead take it as constructive criticism. Apply with CDCR you'll make a great salary and full benefits.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

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

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.
