                  The Duties of a Dental Assistant

                  Dental Assistants work closely with dentists and patients. They make sure patient charts are up-to-date and that dental procedures are completed safely and on-time. As a Dental Assistant you’ll be responsible for:

                  • Preparing instruments by sterilizing them for each procedure
                  • Mixing materials under the supervision of a dentist
                  • Documenting dental services and recording patient data
                  • Teaching patients about dental hygiene
                  • Developing radiographs
                  • Maintaining, troubleshooting and arranging for equipment repairs
                  • Managing equipment and supply inventory

                  Dental assistants are an important part of any dental office. You will often be the first person that patients speak to while waiting for their procedures. You can make patients feel comfortable by answering their questions and addressing their concerns. As a result, people who enjoy working with others and making people feel at ease are perfect candidates to become Dental Assistants.

                  What Will I Learn in the Dental Assisting Program?

                  At Miller-Motte Technical College, our goal is to make sure you have the skills, knowledge and experience to find a job as a Dental Assistant. To make sure you are properly prepared, we have created a unique program that combines classroom instruction with real-world experience. Our instructors will help you master the core dental assistant education requirements and our externship will provide you with weeks of hands-on experience in a Dentist’s office. In our Dental Assisting program you''ll learn:

                  • Medical terms
                  • Fundamentals of dental radiology and producing clear radiographs
                  • Chairside assistant duties including sterilizing dental instruments and teaching patients about proper oral hygiene

                  Toward the end of the Dental Assisting program, you’ll have the opportunity to complete a 300 hour externship where you will work with patients and hone your skills in a real work environment. During the externship, you’ll get the chance to work with other Dental Assistants and Dental Hygienists to cement the skills and concepts you learned in class. Not only is this a great way to settle into your new career, it also provides you with a chance to network with people in your field. Did we mention that it is also a great boost to a resume?
