Can someone with an extremely low IQ ever become a dental hygienist?!


Question: Can someone with an extremely low IQ ever become a dental hygienist!?
or are they just kidding themselves!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
If they study a lot I don't see why not !.!.!. you can do anything if you put your mind to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on how hard they are willing to work for it!. For instance, some people with autism may have a low or even extremely low over-all IQ, but if taught the specific techniques for cleaning someone's teeth and the overall skills of a dental hygienist in small, specific increments, I can see that person becoming quite a successful dental hygienist!. You wouldn't ever have to worry about them missing a spot, that's for sure!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm sure you just think someone is an idiot and you don't actually know their real IQ score!. But nonetheless, you should remain optimistic and know that you may be surprised by the skills that are able to be acquired by even the dumbest of people!. Even dumb people have talents!. It is possible that this person could be an idiot in most cases but would absolutely shine when acting as a dental hygienist!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Honestly, an IQ doesn't really determine how smart you are!. There are factors that may play a role!. People who have test anixiety are not going to do as well on the test as someone without!. You can become whatever you want, as long as you're willing to put the work in!. If the IQ does play an actual role in their study skills, etc, then they will just have to work harder!. As long as you know your stuff by graduation, they'd be good to go!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think IQ has more to do with memory!. There's plenty of things to be learned, but if you can't remember it, you might seem dumb!. A dental hygienist isn't as important as an orthodontist, but poking around in someone else's mouth is serious!. So I would hope anyone working on my teeth would be educated enough to know what they were doing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well my aunt is a hygienist does that count :-)
Please define extremely low IQ!? For a person with average intelligence the hardest part would be the book learning and labs needed to get certified!. I don't know what this has to do with being a vegetarian, but you want to talk to your school counselor about this!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmm!.!. I don't know,JSD!. I think they could, with application and hard work!.

A more important question is could someone with so little imagination that they copy other people's answers (without so much as editing them so they're relevant to the question asked), so little understanding and empathy with fellow humans that they make wild generalisations about groups of people with nothing in common but their diet, so little sensitivity that they post 'jokes' about children with cancer on YA's cancer forum, and who spends too much time trolling YA to spend any time at their studies!.!.!. well, could such a poor excuse for a human being ever amount to anything!?

If I gave a sh*t about him, I'd fear for his future!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

OF COURSE

you know something!?!? i've seen it all, and i can tell you the only thing that pays in life is HARD WORK! and then you can achieve anything! i've seen it dear!

ps) the people who will try to discourage you are the ones who are having big time problems with themselves; you know what Will Smith said to his kid!? you should never listen to someone who tries to tell you you can't do something, doesn't matter what it is, even if it's me!Www@FoodAQ@Com

im sure they could!. but it would take A LOT of work and effert!.
A lot of self courage!.!.!.
They have to be smart enough to go to school and learn everything!.
If the IQ is too low i would suggest do something in a different
Field, instead of Dental Hygienist!.!. maybe a nurse, maybe Archeology,
or Architect !.!.!. but it depends how willing they are to do their job and learn!.

Hope i helped!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I went to the dentist the other day and they charged me like $80 for that weird foamy fluoride stuff!. I didn't even get to see my dentist, just the hygienist!. :(


3!.5 is so low!. Maybe you should spend less time trolling yahoo answers!.

I think that is possible!. You have people like that in most major sports and serving as Governors, Senators, and Representatives of government!. Why not a dental hygienist!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you try really hard to do this, I believe you can do anything if you set your mind to it, no matter how unintelligent you are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well it is not brain surgery, just scraping someones teeth and handing the dentist things!. That would be a perfect job for someone with a very low IQ!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends I guess if they pass the class then yes if they don't then no!. I don't know that I would say low IQ determines what kind of Job you get!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They need to be smart enough to pass the exams in college!. It's not a job for geniuses but not being retarded is a plus in most jobs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you can get through college algebra and a year of general chemistry, you'll be ok!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If they can say the ABC's to label teeth and won't kill anyone when they're using a toothbrush than yesWww@FoodAQ@Com

determination!. doest matter if your IQ is 550!. if you dont have the will power, then nothing is gonna change!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes IQ is how smat you are but how you do in school is how much you knowWww@FoodAQ@Com

mine did it, so yeahWww@FoodAQ@Com

are you bitter at someone!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I feel honored that someone who labels me a troll has devoted time and energy to creating a special question just for me =]

But, who wants to become a dental hygienist though!?

BTW: I maintained a 3!.50 gpa this semester and my IQ is 134

Nice photoshop job robo, i especially like how it doesn't show the school's name, logo, your name, or the classes you took!.
