DENTAL  ASSISTANT

  Dental  assistants assist the dental operator dentist or other treating dental auxiliary in providing more efficient dental treatment, by preparing the patient for treatment, sterilizing instruments, passing instruments during the procedure, holding suction devices, exposing dental radiographs, taking impressions, and fabricating provisional crowns. Dental operators can focus more time on the procedure; the dental assistant then effectively becomes the operator's extra hands. Dental assistants should be distinguished from dental hygienists, who usually have a higher level of training and expertise.

SALERY: 34,500

EDUCATION: have graduated from an accredited dental assisting/dental hygiene program, have a high school diploma, or equivalent, and a minimum of 3,500 hours of approved work experience.

REFLECTION: in my opinion I would like to be one because is a easy money making job you just had to learn all the names of each tool.
