Welcome to Amyrdh.com!

 

Please click on the sponsor banners.  The sponsors are allowing this site to continue as a FREE resource for all RDH's and DH Students!

 

This is the clinical assistant section of amyrdh.com.  This section was developed in the hopes of helping students out with the clinical section of the Dental Hygiene Program.

Over the past few years, I have received many emails from students asking me how to do certain clinical tasks. I hope this site will give advice to help you out in these situations.

This site will answer questions with digital photos and an attempt at having digital movies on the site. 

Do you have any questions that you would like answered?  If so, please click here to email me and I will attempt to help you out with some advice.

Please check back often as more will be added continually. 

Please note I have been testing these on the AOL browser and on internet explorer.  At times the windows media might error out and tell you it can't read the file. I have found that if you reload it in the browser or click on the picture (the link on the page)  more than once, it will download fine then.  Sorry for any confusion :) You may want to view these on the internet explorer and not directly on AOL. 

I am having problems with the real media for some reason.  These files are much smaller.  They work on my computer, but not online.  If you would like me to email you these real media or even the window media files, please let me know and I will do so.  Click here to email me.

I want to personally and publicly thank both Betty Pate, RDH, MEd. and Shari Peterson, RDH, MEd. for taking time out of their busy schedules to help me out in this project.  They devoted their time to help students and new grads out with their generous sharing of their knowledge and information for this project.  They are the best!!  Please take a moment to go to the forum and thank them if these tutorials have helped you out at all.
