Dental Assisting Program

Central Academy of Dental Assisting ETPL
Dental assistants perform a variety of duties in a dental office, primarily assisting the dentist during the examination and treatment of patients with 4-handed dentistry, passing instruments and keeping the working field clean and secure. They are responsible for gathering information from the patient and monitoring the patient for comfort with a duty to relay information to the doctor. Dental assistants sterilize & prepare instrumentation required for dental care. A knowledge of compliance and regulations specific to healthcare is critical to safely provide care both for patients and all clinical staff including one's self. Dental assistants must be reliable, work well with others, and have suitable manual dexterity.
