Dental Assistants are the smiles behind the masks; they greet and seat patients, take and record vital signs, and ready the treatment area. They keep patients comfortable during dental care, are a skilled set of hands that dentists depend on for each dental procedure, and so much more. Dental Assistants may:
Organize, clean, and maintain equipment.
Transfer instruments and mix dental materials.
Take impressions and expose dental x-rays.
Make study models and whitening trays.
Suction, prepare anesthetics, apply fluoride.
Assist with selecting tooth shades for fillings, crowns, or dentures.
Coordinate treatment and appointments.
