MSAD#1 Adult & Community Education

Dental Assistants are the smiles behind the masks; they greet and seat patients, take and record vital signs, and ready the treatment area. They keep patients comfortable during dental care, are a skilled set of hands that dentists depend on for each dental procedure, and so much more. Dental Assistants may:

Organize, clean, and maintain equipment.

Transfer instruments and mix dental materials.

Take impressions and expose dental x-rays.

Make study models and whitening trays.

Suction, prepare anesthetics, apply fluoride.

Assist with selecting tooth shades for fillings, crowns, or dentures.

Coordinate treatment and appointments.
