Description

Welcome to the very first episode of More Than Chairside—the podcast made for dental assistants, by a dental assistant.

I'm Rochelle Foote, a dental assistant of 14+ years and co-founder of the Digital Dental Assistant Academy, and in this episode, I'm sharing why this podcast needed to exist.

Because let's be honest…
There are so many podcasts for dentists, hygienists, and office managers—but where are the podcasts for dental assistants?

In this episode, we're talking about:

• What it really feels like going from dental assisting school into a real dental office
• The chaos, the pressure, and feeling like you weren't fully prepared
• Burnout, feeling undervalued, and questioning your career
• And also… the growth, opportunities, and paths dental assistants can take beyond chairside

This podcast is your space to:
✨ Laugh
✨ Learn
✨ Vent a little
✨ And realize you're not the only one figuring it out

We'll be bringing on real dental assistants—from brand new to 20+ years in the field—to talk about real experiences in dental assisting, digital dentistry, career growth, and life in and out of the office.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or even excited about what's possible in your dental assistant career… you're in the right place.

🎧 New episodes drop weekly. Perfect for your commute, lunch break, or drive home from the office.
