What do Dental Office Chairside Assistants do?
Dental
Assistants perform a variety of
client care, office, and laboratory duties. They work chairside as dentists examine and treat clients. They make
clients as comfortable as possible in the dental chair,
prepare them for treatment, and obtain their dental
records. Assistants hand instruments and materials to
dentist and keep clients? mouths dry and clear by using
suction or other devices. Assistants also sterilize and
disinfect instruments and equipment, prepare trays of
instruments for dental procedures, and instruct clients on
postoperative and general oral health care. Some dental
assistants prepare materials for impressions and
restorations, take dental x-rays, and process x-ray film as
directed by a dentist. T
