dental Assisant



duties and Responsibities: 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:. $23,550    $35,080   $47,580.




Education:With ongoing research linking oral health and general health, the demand for preventive dental services continues to increase, and employment of dental assistants is expected to grow 25 percent nationally from 2012 to 2022*. At ACC, our Dental Assisting program is designed to help you quickly gain proficiency in dental procedures and techniques as you prepare for a satisfying, in-demand career.
