being elbow deep in the mouth of a crackhead whose mouth looks like he garggled acid and smells like something died. Plus you won't make any money while the dentist hauls down six figures.
People's mouth, need I say more? It's almost as bad as being a proctologist assistant.

Well, smelling peoples breath all day and having to see what they had for lunch every day would seem to be drawbacks of the profession!

Well, I couldn't spend my day looking into other peoples mouths, but I'm glad some people can or else there would be nobody to fix our teeth when problems arise.
If you are into it then go for it!

A dental assistant does most of the work and the dentist gets most of the money. If you like that field go all the way and be a dentist.

you should do it if you feel you want to, i think putting your hands in someones mouth would be really gross

If you really want to help people, you should do it. You work very hard and you get little recognition for it. The Dr. usually will not appreciate you as maybe you might expect. Not all Dr's are like that but most are. You might want to get your RDA after you become a dental assistant, they get better pay for the same duties and extra duties. Just think about it and if you really want to be a dental assistant than do it. You are the one that has to be happy at your job. I was a dental assistant and then an RDA, now I do the dental insurance billing for my office and I'm very happy with what I do. I like dentistry and I stayed in this profession. Good Luck.

I worked in the dental field for 16 yrs. There is no reason not to become a dental assistant unless you are not suited to the job. It pays well and you meet a lot of nice people. Maybe you are being steered clear because they feel the demands of the job don't fit your temperament, personality or work habits. So here's what you need. 1. Absolute reliability - always on time or early, pays more attention to tasks than to socializing with the staff. 2. Attention to detail. It's a very technical vocation that requires continuing education throughout your career. 3. Even temper and constant good humor. One of your main jobs is to keep the atmosphere in the operatory low stress and pleasant for the patient and the doc. 4. Caring nature.
So if you feel this is you, go for it. Good luck

My mom has done it for almost 20 years. For her it was a great career. She now does front office as well. But its ALOT of standing and bending over. Also you must be ready when the doctor is ready and do things the way he/she wants.
If you get in with a good doctor he/she should treat you right. The pay isnt great but a good doctor will give you plenty of bonuses as well as time off/vacations. Alot of Doctors will even do mini getaways with the office...like a vegas weekend or disneyland stuff like that. You can also work up and someday be a office manager. Its worked well for my mom. Give it a try if you like the feild maybe you can go back to school to be a hygentist? Good luck to you and your career :)

Why wouldnt you want to become a dental assistant?? I am, i was trained on the job i am 20 years old and have been doing it for 2 and a half years and i love it. You dont smell peoples breath all day you wear a mask, and you dont put your bare hands in someones mouth you have gloves. Its so very intersting, and its great pay as well. If you like to be busy this is the job for you, you will always be busy. Plus its a field thats growing like crazy. YOU WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT A JOB!! I love it, and could never see my self doing anything else...ever!!

If you are kind and understanding, with an amazing personality and your not judgemental. Then being a Dental assistant, has enormous amount of advantages. Fallow your heart, and proceed with your goal. It's your life, not anyone Else's. Unfortunately, you know only negative people in your life. So, be a leader and get out there and do what your heart desires!
Good luck, you can do anything. But not everything will keep you happy, so make your own choice, most important what makes you happy!
