I think I can handle it. Can you? 😅💸

Me: “I’m ready for more money.”

Also me: “No more trials. No more ‘prove yourself.’ No more doing extra for free.” 😂

Are you ready too?

Episode 5 is here

This week I’m joined by Chelsea Homire, , and we’re having the conversation so many dental assistants need to hear.

We talk about burnout, the long hours, feeling expected to always do more, and the pressure that comes with trying to keep everything moving while putting yourself last.

But we also talk about the other side of it… setting boundaries, knowing your worth, and realizing that taking care of yourself doesn’t make you less dedicated.

Because being a great assistant shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, unseen, or wondered if you’re asking for too much… this episode is for you.

🎧 Episode 5 of More Than Chairside is live now.

You’re gonna want to do this.

When cleaning your SprintRay ProWash, take the rods and hydrometer balls out first.

It makes cleaning easier, helps you get into all the areas, and keeps resin buildup from hiding where you can’t see it.

A cleaner wash = better post processing = better prints.

Do you take them out? Did you know they came out? 😜

Being a dental assistant and not having anyone hear me..

It feels that way sometimes. Maybe a lot of the times.

But I keep moving. kKeep helping. Keep carrying the day. That’s part of why I started this podcast.

To hear other assistants. To share the real stories. And to remind each other we’re not doing this alone. 💙🎙️

Have you listened yet?

Also! Are you an assistant with a story? DM me so I can have you one the show.

Do you mill?

I have not milled a crown in a few years!
I got to spend some time with Dr. Heep at Inspire Dental in Arizona. He showed me how he does it.

Loved every second! And his assistant was amazing!
