Intra Oral Dental Assisting Level 1 and 2

Do you get a lot of satisfaction when you’re an important part of a team? If you’re a helpful, capable person, who likes to be at the center of the action, consider Intra-Oral Dental Assisting.

Dental Assistants do it all. In this role, you would prepare for procedures and assist Dentists and Dental Therapists during dental examinations and treatments. But you wouldn’t sit idly; you also get to perform routine tasks such as applying fluoride, polishing crowns, applying sealants and topical numbing agents, taking impressions, processing x-rays, and more. Clerical duties, including answering phone calls, booking appointments, and invoicing would also be part of your role.
