Dental Assistant Jobs in San Bernardino, CA

A Dental Assistant plays a crucial role in the dental industry by assisting dentists during patient procedures, providing patient care and comfort, preparing dental instruments, sterilizing instruments, and performing office management tasks. They also perform laboratory duties such as making dental casts and taking digital x-rays. Their role is vital to the smooth operation of dental clinics and hospitals, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care and support. Dental Assistants should have excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail, adept manual dexterity, and high levels of patience and empathy.

Dental Assistants must have proper certifications, often requiring the completion of an accredited dental assistant program resulting in a certificate or diploma. Some states may require dental assistants to be licensed or registered, involving passing a written or practical exam. Before becoming a Dental Assistant, a person may start their career as a Dental Office Receptionist handling scheduling and billing. Others may begin as a Dental Hygienist, focusing on preventative dental care, or as a Medical Assistant, gaining foundational healthcare skills that can be applied in a dental setting.
