Picture Yourself as a Dental Assistant
Imagine yourself working as a dental assistant in a busy dental office and earning an attractive salary. You have many different duties supporting the activities of the team of dentists, technicians, and hygienists, including both clerical and technical tasks. Thanks to your dental assistant training course, you understand exactly what to do in each situation, and your confidence helps to give reassurance to the sometimes-nervous patients who are awaiting various procedures. Often when patients are about to leave the office you are the last one with whom they speak to, and they thank you quite sincerely for your efforts on their behalf. You realize part of that thanks belongs to the rest of the team, but you feel a sense of pride that you are a part of that team, and that you have realized your dream of becoming a dental assistant.
Career Outlook
Dental assistants are increasingly in demand today, in part due to our growing aging population, a greater emphasis on dental care and more people having cosmetic dentistry procedures done. The high demand for dental assistants allows them to earn attractive salaries.
According to the United States Department of Labor there is growing demand for dental assistants. It forecasts a 29% increase between 2006 and 2016.*
Dental Assistants Require:
• Knowledge of dental terms and science
• Thorough understanding of dental procedures
• Awareness of how to interact with patients
