| « Frequently Asked Questions | Are you stuck in a dead end job? Do you wish you had a job you love? » |
Are you a people person? Are you a team player?
If you answered yes to one or both of these questions, then becoming a dental assistant is the career for you! The dental assistant is a crucial member of the dental team. Many patients describe themselves as "dental phobics," as they are afraid to go to the dentist for a variety of reasons. Often, the dental assistant is the first person they see. The assistant greets the patient and is often privy to conversations about their fears before the dentist enters the room. They have the opportunity to make the patient feel at ease. Just listening to a fearful patient voice their fears and being able to comfort them and reassure that they will be well taken care of is a vital part of the treatment. Many patient's first impressions of the office and the entire dental team is made in those first few moments.… If a patient feels comfortable and safe in the dental environment, the dentist's job is much easier. When the entire staff works as a team, the patient's experience is a positive one. The patient feels safe and well cared for, the dentist feels confident in his staff and the assistant feels she is a valued member of the team.
