The right hand of every dentist
Dental assistants support dentists during procedures, prepare treatment rooms, sterilize instruments, take impressions, and help patients feel comfortable in the chair.
You set up the operatory for a root canal, suction and pass instruments during a filling, take dental impressions for a crown, comfort a nervous child, and sterilize equipment between patients. Fast-paced and hands-on.
