I decided to become a Dental Hygienist later in life. I did this because I was very, very interested in teeth and the well-being of patient's. In my opinion, I feel that if there are assistant's that want to BECOME hygienist's--FINE!!! Let them return to college to receive their education and then become a hygienist. I decided to NOT be an assistant because of mixed reasons. Mainly because I like the fact that someone is NOT watching over me most of the time. Granted, I appreciate and know that the assistant's I work with are very educated in lots of areas that I am not, but that goes both ways. They are appreciated SO MUCH BY ME!!! Please DO NOT pass this DENTAL ASS'T. II for many, many reasons. Thank you!
