Your dental knowledge and experience will be beneficial in helping to keep notes organized and thorough. You will prepare patient operatories and equipment and assist doctors during examination and treatment, as well as disinfect and sterilize necessary environmental surfaces / devices/ instruments. Our dental assistants are critical members of the team and are also responsible for listening to the needs of the patient, providing patient education as needed, ensuring the patient is comfortable during procedures, and managing clinical supplies. You will learn a lot in this role
