In the rapidly growing field of dentistry, employment opportunities for dental assistants are projected to increase by 19% by 2026, surpassing the average growth rate for all occupations, as highlighted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This surge is attributed to the recognized connection between oral health and overall well-being.
Dental assistants, who play a crucial role in supporting dentists, enjoy competitive wages and favorable work hours, given the standard business hours and closure on holidays and weekends typical in dental offices. If you possess qualities such as responsibility, efficiency, and a passion for helping others, a career in dental assisting might be ideal for you.
As a dental assistant, your duties encompass a range of tasks, including preparing treatment rooms, comforting and seating patients, taking x-rays, polishing teeth, assisting dentists with procedures, sterilizing instruments, educating patients on oral hygiene, maintaining supplies, and contributing to the overall team effort to ensure competent and satisfactory patient care.
