Course outline:
This course is 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 dental examination and taking X-rays quickly and to a much higher level than taught in the entry level DA certificate training programmes.
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.
This workshop is part of a series of other training courses, designed to advance the knowledge, skills and efficiencies of Dental Assistants who are the backbone of a dental practice.
