Who is a DA
Who is the Dental Assistant?
The Dental Assisting profession is a vital component of the dental healthcare delivery team. The US Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that Dental Assisting is expected to grow at a faster-than-average pace through the year 2031 as noted here: Dental Assistants: Occupational Outlook Handbook: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov).
The Dental Assistant position is highly technical skilled work responsible for working under the supervision of dentists with a wide range of tasks in the dental office, ranging from patient care to administrative duties to laboratory functions. Work involves assisting a dentist engaged in performing general dentistry practices such as diagnostic, operative, preventive, and other dental procedures during the examination and treatment of patients.
(Updated November 2022)
The dental assistant performs many tasks requiring both interpersonal and technical skills. Although state regulations vary, responsibilities may include:
- Assisting the dentist during a variety of treatment procedures
- Taking and developing dental radiographs (x-rays)
- Asking about the patient’s medical history and taking blood pressure and pulse
- Serving as an infection control officer, developing infection control protocol, and preparing and sterilizing instruments and equipment
- Helping patients feel comfortable before, during, and after dental treatment
- Providing patients with instructions for oral care following surgery or other dental treatment procedures, such as the placement of a restoration (filling)
- Teaching patients appropriate oral hygiene strategies to maintain oral health; (e.g., toothbrushing, flossing, and nutritional counseling)
- Taking impressions of patient’s teeth for study casts (models of teeth)
- Performing office management tasks that often require the use of a personal computer
- Communicating with patients and suppliers (e.g., scheduling appointments, answering the telephone, billing, and ordering supplies)
- Helping to provide direct patient care in all dental specialties, including orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and oral surgery
