What do our Dental Assistants do?

Supporting patient dental care is hands-on, fulfilling work, and with ongoing advances in treatment there is always something new to learn! 

Dentists and clinicians rely on the support of dental assistants every day.  A great dental assistant will be there to make sure everything runs smoothly. 

A dental assistant’s day (generally from 8.00am until 5.30pm) is spent ensuring all treatment areas are sterile, organised and well prepared for the dentist to treat patients.  Among other things, this includes:

 

·         Greeting patients, preparing them in the dental chair and documenting patient treatment and dental charts during the consultation

·         Sterilising equipment

·         Anticipating needs and positioning tools and equipment within the dentist’s reach as required

·         Providing patients with instructions for post-operative care

·         Assistance may also be needed developing X-rays, as well as pouring and trimming dental impression moulds
