Dental Assistant
Dental Assistants assist the dental operator (dentist
or other treating dental auxiliary) in providing more efficient dental treatment,
by preparing the patient for treatment, sterilizing instruments, passing
instruments during the procedure, holding suction devices, exposing dental
radiographs, 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. Dental assistants should be
distinguished from dental hygienists, who usually have a higher level of
training and expertise.
Salary: $23,000- $50,000
Education:
It
takes a relatively short period of time to become a dental assistant. Dental
assistants receive their formal education through academic programs at
community colleges, vocational schools, technical institutes, universities or
dental schools.
I
would like to work in the dental pathway because they win lots of money yearly.
