Duties of a Dental Assistant

Dental assistants provide patient care and chair-side support as dentists complete exams and procedures. Most visibly, people may see dental assistant’s passing instruments, but that’s just the beginning of their technical skills. Other technical duties of a dental assistant include:

Dental assistants can perform some polishing or explain proper dental hygiene to patients, but most often, their patient contact occurs when working with a dentist on procedures that could benefit from extra help.

Dental assistants differ from dental hygienists in that dental hygienists perform much more unsupervised work on patients.
