Dental Assistant

You are here

Dental Assistants help dentists during patient examinations and treatments. They also provide direct patient care, educate patients on oral health, perform basic lab duties and manage client records.

As an Intra-Oral Dental Assistant, you will sterilize, prepare, and set out dental instruments and materials, process x-rays, assist dentists during dental procedures and record the dental procedures performed. You will also polish clinical crowns, and apply fluoride. In addition, you will apply dental dams, pit, and fissure sealants, desensitizing agents, topical anaesthetic, and acid etch materials.

You may also take preliminary impressions for diagnostic casts and expose radiographs (x-rays). Dental Assistants may also take on an administrative role, answering telephone calls and coordinating appointment schedules, as required.
