with no experience in dentistry i decided to get a part time job as a dental assistant while I completed my prereqs for DH school. i really just ran around the clinic and did what was needed of me. they didn't really train me to be a chair side assistant only for emergencies id step in. I am more on the introverted side but I am very smart and a hard worker. the dentist who I would say I talked to the least in the office called me into his room one day and basically said I am too quiet to be a great hygienist and some people don't belong in the dentistry world. i was in complete shock hearing this type of negativity come out of his mouth. i had to go home hysterical crying this day. i had to write on a napkin to my hygenist friend what was said and she said to me they can go fuck themselves the amount someone talks doesn't mean how efficient they are at their job. I try not to let these kinds of words get to me since I've struggled with my personality my whole life . but at the end of the day I have proved everyone that doubted me wrong as I go into my 2nd semester of hygiene school top of my class.

I don't know if anyone else has ever had a related incident happen to them. i have heard there's a lot of toxic offices out there
