THE DENTAL HELPER

Dental assistants are important in any dental clinic because they provide important services that allow dentists to concentrate on the more crucial aspects of the practice such as the actual task of doing the medical procedure like root canal, extraction, cleaning, prophylaxis, and fillings.

Dental assistant jobs are just some of the medical assistants positions available for people to fill up. Certified dental assistants are available as a stand alone course to take in college, or it can be a career option for under board dentists to take as an alternative to professional practice.

Dental assistants are very broad in scope. Some dental assistants perform purely administrative tasks, while others assist in the clinical aspect such as the actual procedures to be administered. The job you will be required to perform depends on the type of educational training and background that you have. If you are an under board dentist, without any license, you may be asked to assist in the clinical procedures, such as in the preparation of the patient and the briefing of the procedures that will be performed.

CAREERS AS MEDICAL ASSISTANTS

Careers as certified medical assistants can be very rewarding, especially if you like to work in an industry where you can immediately see the results of your work. You deal with people on a daily basis so it is important to be highly sociable and outgoing.

More importantly, you have to remember that certified medical assistants such as dental assistants are the first line of interaction between the doctor and the patients. As such, you must be able to project an image of professionalism that reflects on the business. You must remember to treat your patients with respect because building good relationships and establishing trust is very important regardless of the type of industry that you work in.
