What does a professional dental assistant do?
Dental assistants sterilize and disinfect instruments
and equipment, prepare and lay out instruments and materials
required to treat each patient, and obtain patients’
dental records. Assistants make patients as comfortable
in the dental chair and prepare them for treatment.
During dental procedures, assistants work alongside
the dentist to provide assistance. They exchange instruments
and materials to dentists and keep patients’ mouths
dry and clear by using suction or other devices. They
instruct patients on postoperative and general oral
health care. Dental assistants prepare materials for
impressions and restorative procedures, take dental
x-rays, and process x-ray film as directed by a dentist.
They also remove sutures, apply topical anesthetics
to gums or cavity-preventive agents to teeth, remove
excess cements and adhesives, and place rubber dams
on the teeth to isolate them for individual treatment.
Dental assistants with laboratory duties make casts
of the teeth and mouth from impressions, clean and polish
removable appliances, and make temporary crowns. Those
with office duties schedule and confirm appointments,
receive patients, keep treatment records, send bills,
receive payments, and order dental supplies and materials.
