Why Become a Dental Assistant?
Dental assistants are a valuable part of any dental office. They complete a range of duties from office management tasks to assisting with dental procedures such as fillings, crowns and extractions. Dental assistants provide patient care and chair-side support for dentists as they perform exams and procedures. In addition to technical assistance during dental procedures, one of the main roles of a dental assistant is to make the patient feel comfortable. A dental assistant is usually the first person a patient sees when they walk through the door and can help calm their nerves before a dental procedure.
