My Dental Op Episode 3: Sterilization Room

Wish we had a bigger sterilization area

Thank you for sharing this! It gave me so many great ideas to organize our room!

Load the autoclave pouches Paper down plastic up, helps with drying

Question .. so when breaking down the room after barriers and instruments are out of the room... we have to clean and disinfect our room? So what do you use to clean the room and then afterwards what do you use to disinfect?

Did you get a nose job?

This was awesome- its like having a perky non-intimidating friend explain everything!

Thank you!!

how do you autoclave rubber and plastic materials?

Autoclave name please 🥺

Where do the dentists store the shots?

Unrelated: But your hair looks so healthy! Mildly distracted I was! LOL

Thanks for sharing! Where do you buy the sterilization pouches from?

You shouldn't need to do that yourself ma'am.

Luv your videos!! I’m a CDA😘

Are you required to wear a hair cover and googles/face shield?

If you kept the instruments in the plastic tray used for the ultrasonic to autoclave them and never wrapped them, would you feel safe using them?

Do you ever rinse the ultrasonic solution off the instrument before packaging it?

we manufacture sterilization baskets if you are interested in buying do let me know

If someone wants to work as a sterilization tech and Is certified with their OSHA can they?

I love it

Good Tuesday evening to you all from wellington Somerset in the UK

So, do you open the autoclave with dirty gloves and then open it again with clean hands when getting the sterilized stuff?

Very nic

I believe your bagged instruments should go paper side DOWN. Check your autoclave manual

How can I sterilize ? Or disinfect my manual toothbrush ? I hope I am asking this correct lol 😂

I love ur energy tho 😆

Amazing sterilization..
love watching your videos from INDIA❤️

You are so cuute wish u the best anddd u made dentistry beautiful infront of my eyes😍

I just started hygiene school and this is a great run through of our sterilization and intro to setting up for care. Thanks :)

I love love your videos, they make me sooo excited to start school in September as first year in dental hygiene program yaya, thank you for sharing!

How do you sterilize hand pieces??

Do you do daily spore testing and what about class 5 strips in the sterilizing pouch? We also have containers with lids that we transport our instruments to and from the operatory.

Whitney my mentor.... You are one of a kind among the hygienist i came across in my entire school days.... In fact there are things i got to learn from you which i was not thought in school.
So it's a blessing indeed having you in DH cadre... I salute ya

I love your videos a ton of useful information to a new DA like me! Thank you! 🤗

Hi, I wanted to ask a really quick question about flossing (I would've phoned my dentist's office but they are closed because ya know corona). When are you supposed to floss? Before or after brushing? I usually floss after I brush but I was reading a couple articles that suggest that it's better to do it before you brush. Thanks again in advance for the advice!

It’s so cool seeing the organization of the different instruments in a dental office! In my optometry office it’s not nearly as in depth lol, but you’re dealing with 2 little organs and the skin around it so I guess it makes sense? Very cool to see how it all works though! I have a random question, how old were you when you became a RDH?

Hi, I checked out your other video and learned you did schooling in chicago which is where i live and would like to stay! Can you please tell me what schools you went to for your dental hygiene portion? I have no clue where to go

Oh yea. That is what we are talking Whitney!!! Amen to that!!! Peace,,,,,,, Love,,,,,, and teeth!!!! That’s dentist love babe as the song I have says in the name of dentistry!!!! Peace,,,,,,,,,, Love,,,,,,, and teeth,,,,,,, rock on sis!!!!

I’m a hygienist in Michigan and really enjoy watching your videos! I like seeing how things work in other offices, thanks for sharing!

Great channel,I hope to be as good as you one day!You are awesome,this quarantine gave me the little push to start my channel 🤣

Hi Whitney I have a huge fear of the dentist is there anything I can do to ease my fear and also is it normal to have an extra tooth on the bottom or should I get it checked out. I am only 12 years old ❤️❤️have u got any suggestions for me ❤️❤️also some day I hope to be a hygienist like u but I think my fear has changed my mind. Amazing video as always and I love u so much ❤️❤️❤️

I’m studying to be a dental assistant so I found this video really interesting, thanks for sharing!

Great organization everywhere. Your sterilization room looks very clean and modern 👍👍👍

Yes the dirtiest for sure!

Very large & spacious compared to my office!

Really enjoying this series, thanks Whitney. What does "Op" mean?

But you don't touch the outside of the sterilization bags with gloves because you want the outside to be clean

Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽 I am a dr myself.
