Dental Assistant School
Dental Assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laboratory duties. Dental assistants work chairside as dentists examine and treat patients. They make patients as comfortable as possible in the dental chair, prepare them for treatment, and obtain dental records. Dental assistants hand instruments and materials to dentists, and keep patients' mouths dry and clear by using suction or other devices. Dental Assistant's also sterilize and disinfect instruments and equipment, prepare tray setups for dental procedures, and instruct patients on postoperative and general oral health care.
Some dental assistant's prepare materials for making impressions and restorations, expose radiographs, and process dental x-ray film as directed by a dentist. Dental assistant's also may remove sutures, apply anesthetics to gums or cavity-preventive agents to teeth, remove excess cement used in the filling process, and place rubber dams on the teeth to isolate them for individual treatment. Those with laboratory duties make casts of the teeth and mouth from impressions taken by dentists, clean and polish removable appliances, and make temporary crowns. Dental assistants with office duties schedule and confirm appointments, receive patients, keep treatment records, send bills, receive payments, and order dental supplies and materials.
