Recommended: Career goals for a dental hygienist

My Education goals are why I chose APUS, When I graduated from high school in 2014 I started my ROP Dental Assisting program to become a Certified Dental assistant in the state of California so that I could get my foot in the door in Dentistry to one day become a Dental Hygienist. But now here I am two years later working as a full time dental assistant and I have no passion or desire in pursuing in becoming a Hygienist because its not something I feel I could really be happy with and do for the rest of my life. My real passion has always been with children I have always loved working with children weather it was when I was working at a daycare in high school or when I was a cheerleading coach for young girls between the ages of 4-9, I have …show more content…

Second reason is the tuition and the payment methods you give your students are very fair and reasonable being able to make payments is something that really helps and makes it possible to go to school while working fulltime. Third reason is the way APUS approached me after applying, I have looked at other schools like Saint Leo University and Aspen Colorado University and yes they are good schools but were either to pushy with phone calls everyday and not giving me space to decide what it is that I want or not being able to get in contact with someone with questions that I did have. That is why I continued to look at other schools and when I came across APUS and applied I had been approached via phone call and email informing me that if I have any questions with my application I can call or email and for me emailing is a big thing due to the fact I work full time on the west coast so sometimes I am not able to return a phone call as soon as possible. APUS has explained things for me and really seems to help show me how to break things down and I really admire that about your school and the fact it is a online school makes it very manageable for me while working full

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the topic of whether or not a dental hygienist’s personal and social life should reflect on the profession itself. Some argue that once the work day ends, a dental hygienist no longer represents the dental hygiene profession. They do not feel that the actions of the healthcare professional outside of the workplace should represent the profession whatsoever. Others raise the argument that the actions of a dental hygienist away from work, should be reflective of their profession. They feel that when a hygienist leaves the dental clinic, they are still representing the healthcare professional community and that their actions outside of the workplace should always have an impact on the profession.

I could immerse myself for hours, infusing life into a seemingly dull piece of paper, meticulously applying vibrant color pencil strokes as an image gradually emerged before my eyes, unveiling a synergistic transformation. If you could introduce my younger self to a profession that could mimic my methods of creating color pencil art while integrating science to benefit others, he’d gladly extend a gesture of gratitude with a complementary drawing. Thankfully, dental school introduced me to such a profession—orthodontics—with the expectation of gaining comprehensive knowledge, sparing me from having to give away any artwork. Among the vast array of knowledge I encountered in dental school, I found myself naturally drawn to the field of orthodontics.

I am of the belief that quality dental healthcare should be obtainable to all, regardless of economic background. Access to quality dental care should be seen as a human right and not predicated upon social or economic status. Everyone has the right to wellness yet disparities in access to healthcare and dental healthcare in particular exist. In an effort to rid the world of this inequity, I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. I believe that we all have a responsibility to lift and serve those who are in need; those who cannot afford access to fundamental services that would lead to a better quality of life.
