Dental assistants work closely with dentists, usually performing routine tasks so that the dentist can focus on more complex procedures. Assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laboratory duties. These include
preparing dental instruments, obtaining patients’ dental records, sterilizing and disinfecting instruments and equipment, preparing patients for treatment, handing instruments to the dentist during procedures, taking dental x-rays, and making casts of teeth. Some assistants also handle office duties such as scheduling and confirming appointments, sending bills, and ordering dental supplies and materials. About 50% of dental assistants have a normal 40-hour workweek. Most of the rest work part-time, have variable schedules, or hold multiple jobs by working at more than one dental office.
