This course teaches DAs the advanced Dental knowledge and skills required to master 4-handed dentistry. This course uses Dental Restorations as a basis for demonstrating 4-handed dentistry moves. It also trains the DA to assist the Dentist with note writing.
This course is also designed to allow a new dental assistant or dental receptionist with no prior experience in dental assisting to come up to speed with assisting for restorations (fillings) quickly and to a higher level than taught in the entry level DA certificate training programmes. Modifications to the basic techniques are needed to assist for special groups of patients and this is also covered in this course.
Working with a well trained dental assistant with the right training makes a world of a difference not only to the dental practitioner but also to the patient and increases productivity. It also increases job satisfaction for the DA. As a DA, knowing what you are doing, understanding dentistry well and thereby anticipating the dentist’s needs and delivering on your job description will make you more confident and reduce the stresses that build up if you don’t know what you are doing or are expected to do.
Whether you have completed the basic entry level certificate in dental assisting or been trained in-house by the dental practice staff, it is still imperative to have a thorough understanding of the core knowledge underpinning the dental problems dentists are presented with, what to look out and listen for, how to anticipate what needs to be done and stay ahead, the procedures dentists offer and why, what clinical notes must be written, how to truly work in a 4-handed dental assisting set up, how practices work, what costs are involved in running the business and how to minimise wastage and breakdowns.
Advancing to a stage where you are a true asset to the dentist and a pair of extra hands, eyes and ears to the dentist is holistically explained by the term 4-handed dental assisting in this workshop. 4-handed Dental assisting is more efficient, more productive, allowing for shorter appointment times, more patient comfort, and ease of practice. It is also more rewarding and engaging for the Dental Assistant as it allows them to use all the skills needed to assist the dentist and is less stressful for them and the Dentist.
It is getting harder and harder to keep up with all the note writing that is necessary. This workshop teaches DAs how to assist the dentist with this important and critical task note writing.
