Dental Assistant
Duties and responsibilities: assist
the dental operator in providing more efficient dental treatment, by preparing the patient for treatment,
sterilizing instruments, passing instruments during the procedure, holding
suction devices, exposing dental radiography, taking impressions, and
fabricating provisional crowns. Dental operators can focus more time on the
procedure; the dental assistant then effectively becomes the operator's extra
hands.
Salary: $22,069 - $43,497
Education: There are no formal education requirements for entering a career in dental assisting. Some assistants have a high school diploma and only receive on-the-job
training; however, post-secondary dental assisting programs offer more
comprehensive career training.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one?
Why? Why not?
I
think I would not like to be one because I don’t like this career.
