What exactly are a dental assistant duties?
Dental Assistant training is different for each state. It is best to look for your states medical board and click on Dentistry. The pay depends on the state in states that do not require a certification or specialized training ie an Associates Degree, the pay is significantly less. My friend is a DA and made 22.00 p/h in NC, but now in GA only makes 14.00 p/h ( and she has 10 years of experience). Hope this helps.
Reply:i went to school for six months. If you are lucky you can get up tp $20/hr. You take xrays,clean instruments and operatories,welcome patients,assist the dentist,chart,use computers, pour models and in some hi end practices you can use a cad cam machine to fabricate crowns. This list is by no means exhaustive.
