how are you guys keeping track of things?

we have two DA’s at our office, myself and another. we have our tasks spilt pretty evenly, and i’m looking for advice on keeping track of things.

i’m regularly submitting, and sometimes making digital waxups

we just started making nightguards in office

there’s definitely more, but can’t think of it off the top my head (hence why i need help keeping track)

what are some useful things you do other than a spreadsheet?

temping as a favor to my doctor

oh brother guys. i’m whipped and winded! far busier and i can see why this guy doesn’t currently have assistants.

makes 0 eye contact with patients, and haven’t witness much beside manner. not that he’s negative or mean- it’s just not there. cheapest materials i’ve ever seen. (i swear my doctor buys million dollar bibs.. the supply list makes me want to curl up and cry) don’t know where anything is!!! i could be at the beach right now

i should be at the beach right now…

only three hours left and two patients cancelled. save me…

new itero scanner!!!

my doctor got the other DA and i the new scanner!!! im really thankful to have a doctor that sits and listens to our opinions and what would help our individual workflow. it seems incredible, far slimmer than the current itero we have… plus… that cart with the screen! actually to die for. in house smile design too!!! we’ve been slowly transitioning and this will really streamline things. i can’t wait to start designing for our fmr cases, i will be so delighted knowing somebody is happy, healthy and confident with the teeth i made them!

first time getting called “sexy” in my scrubs :/

picture of hash browns cuz it’s my dinner usually but i forgot to take a picture today

i feel it’s not a lot to ask to NOT be called “sexy” while i’m trying to provide you care. how could a man think i feel sexy when im about to dive my fingers into his mouth and scan his teeth?? luckily the doctor and his wife are very great- my king and queen, and saved me.

it’s one thing to call me pretty, or any similar compliment. it’s another to make the intentional choice to say “sexy”. brother. i’m 19 with braces. BURNNN! all i could muster was “ohhh.. thanks 😔😅” and ive never dipped from a room so quickly

other than that i got to etch a tooth for the very first time today! it was awesome, and i feel ever so slightly closer to becoming the dentist of my future patients dreams (haven’t started a slick of school yet… soon though!)

did i spot where my cavity was?

hi! i got sent my x-rays and have had fun looking over them!! i already got my cavity filled but after staring for so long at my x-rays i wanted to see if i could find it. are the 3 shaded triangles indicative of where the cavity is?

DA to dentist?

hi all! i’m 19 and i’ve really fallen in love with all i do at work. i watch the doctor and can only think about how i NEED!! (i mean need) to learn all that he can do! is there anybody currently pursuing that path? i’d really like to gather as much information as i can. i’m from a very low income background, and if i make a decision like this- id like to know i made it with knowledge and as much confidence as possible.
