Dental Assistant

Dental Assistants assist the dental operator in providing more efficient dental treatment, by preparing the patient for treatment, sterilizing instruments, passing instruments during the procedure, holding suction devices, exposing dental radiographs, taking impressions, and fabricating provisional crowns. 

Salary: About $23,550 to $47,580

Education: A high school diploma and only receive on-the-job training; however, postsecondary dental assisting programs offer more comprehensive career training. 

Reflection: I would like to be a dental assistant because the salary is a good pay and it seems a little interesting to be helping a dentist.
