- Answer phones and do recalls when schedule is sparse

- Experience in assisting basic and complex restorative procedures (small fillings versus multiple crowns in difficult-to-access areas of the mouth)
- Familiarity with dental terminology (distal, buccal, tooth numbers, procedure lingo)
- Experience with sterilization procedures; this includes ability to work independently in the sterilization area between patients
- Ability to take diagnostic radiographs
- Understanding of infection control protocols, OSHA, HIPAA
