Becoming a dental assistant can be rewarding if you:
- Enjoy helping people
- Have a gentle touch
- Work well with team members
- Are detail oriented
- Are trustworthy
- Never stop learning
As you sit in the dental chair, are you nervous or calm? When a patient is in pain, they are usually a bit nervous.
Think about the dental assistant that YOU would want….
Patients like to feel heard when they explain their discomfort. They hope that you are knowledgeable and they need you to be kind and caring. Sometimes they will confide in you so they need to be able to trust you.
This is a place to learn more about how to become the best dental assistant you can be. We are always learning.
