including assisting the dentist with some procedures, lab work and
various office functions.
In the course of a regular day, some of the duties of a dental assistant might be:
Preparing and sterilizing the dental instruments.
Supplying the dentist with the patient's dental records.
Handing dental instruments to the dentist while they are performing procedures.
Keeping the patient's comfortable, during the procedures.
Being knowledgeable enough to instruct the patients on correct oral healthcare.
Taking of and preparing the x-rays for the doctor.
Most
dental assistants will work in a dentist's office or clinic. A very
small portion of dental assistants will work in hospitals or possibly a
doctor's office. They have very similar working conditions as
compared to dental hygienists, many times, up to one third of dental
assistants will work on a part-time basis.
If you can get into
training to be a dental assistant, this is a great way to get started
in this field. It does offer a great employment outlook, but you
will have to have additional levels of education to get into some of
the more lucrative positions.
