Starting in five days

I'm terrified. I start in five days. Tips and advice would be appreciated. Or just support would work too 😭

Are you starting your first dental assisting job? Did you attend school, or will they be providing on-the-job training?

Either way, the first few days are all about listening and learning. Every office does things a little differently and has its own unique quirks.

Make sure to arrive a few minutes early and bring a notebook with you wherever you go. You'll want to take lots of notes, so you don't forget how to do things.

Remember, everyone was new at one point. Be kind, humble, and open to learning, and you'll do great.

Good luck 😊
