Dental assistant

Oral care with attention

As a dental assistant, you'll speak to patients and schedule appointments. You'll also assist the dentist, preparing treatments and ensuring the correct supplies are ready.

During the treatment, you'll use the right instrument at the right time. You'll perform some tasks yourself, such as taking x-rays and removing tartar. After the treatment, you'll clean everything, tidy up, and update the patient file.
