What do dental assistants do?

Dental Assistants play a very important role in a patient's visit to the Dentist. They are flexible, quick on their feet, and help the rest of the dental office staff in a number of ways. But what exactly do they do? Dental assistants perform a wide range of daily tasks, including:

• Taking X-Rays and impressions

• Giving pre-op and post-op instructions

• Providing patient care

• Going over medical history

• Preparing patients and the work area for treatments and procedures

• Sterilizing instruments

• Assisting the Dentist in treatments

Most people don't realize just how important Dental Assistants are to the flow of a dental office, but they are one of the most important assets! The dental office would not be able to function without the hard work and care of dental assistants.
