Question about Dental Assisting?
What are the Pros and Cons of doing this?
Answers:
I have been a dental assistant for 10 years. I love it. I would say the pros are good pay, very interesting no patient is the same, If you do cosmetic work it is very rewarding seeing how happy the patients are when the work is finished.
Cons would be if you work for a dentist who isn't that nice. I have worked for a dentist who would get frustrated easily and take it out on me. Very rude and down right mean. But I have worked for fabulous dentists as well. The attitude of the dds is important, you work in very close proximity 40 hours a week. Some things are gross. like if patients have dirty mouths but you get use to that. Also it can be very bloody. It may be hard to take at first but you do get use to that as well.
I love being a dental assistant. Also the schooling is only about a year.
