Is anybody a dental assistant? Was the course hard and demanding?

Actually I thought the classes were really easy. I thought it was really interesting. I have enjoyed being a dental assistant. But now I want to further my career and go back to school to become a dental hygienist.

you have to really want to do it. It's a lot to remember, but it's well worth it. When I took the course, it wasn't hard at all. But now the dental board requires you to have xray, coronal polishing, and pass the test to become a registered dental assistant. go for it!
Reply:I am an instructor for a dental assisting school. The course is fast paced and we go over a lot of information, a good portion of the training is hands on. That said, if you are serious about doing well, and use the study tools and books given in the course, you will keep up and learn all that you need to get your certification. This gives you the basics to enter the field. I say go for it. Usually the students are overwhelmed the first few classes, then start "getting it". It's rewarding.
