Dental Assistant work often means remaining with the dentist or Hygienist during the procedures. They are responsible for suction and for handing the instruments to the other staff throughout the procedures. They are also there to offer instant assistance if an emergency arises during the procedure. In some dental facilities, the Dental Assistant work will also mean monitoring the vital signs of all patients as well as administer local anesthetics.
Dental Assistant work can often include helping to make patients feel comfortable before, during, and after their procedures. They can offer a kind word, help adjust lighting and chair position, and provide the patient with follow up information to care for their procedures. Dental Assistants are often asked to make phone calls and follow up on the recovery process for some patients after major procedures including root canals, bridges, and extractions.
While Dental Assistant work can be demanding, it is crucial for the Dental Assistants to understand the scope of their duties and perform them in a professional manner.
