Dental Assistant?

To be dental assistant do you need to go to college

Dental Assistant?
nah.. i was a dental assistant. its a bs job because most of the time you sit your *** at the receptionist desk and answering phone. the rest is that you help out your private dentist who hired you. the wage is 10 bucks and its so dang low. later, i quit. rite now, i am making 17-20 bucks and i dont go to work most of the time and i still get paid.. this week i am getting my 800 buck check without even landing a step into the company... LOL
Reply:Some places will train you, others will require that you go and get the certification from a local community college.





Hope this helps.
Reply:In NY, if you work for a dentist for 2 years, consecutively, you can take the exam to become certified. Otherwise, you would have to go to school. You do not need college credits.





If I had the opportunity, I would go to dental hygiene school ( 2 years). The average pay for a hygenist is $50-60K, depending on where you live. Average salary for assistant is $25K.





Something to consider....
