For Our Patients

Whether you’re visiting a general dentist or a specialist, such as a periodontist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon, you can are likely to encounter a skilled and compassionate Dental Assistant. Dental Assistants work in every type of dental office performing a variety of highly-technical, skilled tasks.

Our daily duties include helping with direct patient care as well as behind-the-scenes office management. A Dental Assistant is likely to ask about your medical history and help the dentist during your procedure. We are a key part of making sure you feel comfortable before, during, and after treatments. You can trust us to explain oral hygiene practices, including proper brushing and flossing as well as post-surgical care. We are often responsible for taking and developing x-rays. In many offices, a Dental Assistant serves as the infection control officer, developing protocols and sterilizing instruments and equipment. We handle many office and practice management tasks. You’ll often see us working on a computer to schedule appointments, send invoices for services, and order supplies.

OUR PATIENTS
