Dental assistants or nurses and dental technicians work closely with dentists to bestow people with shiny white and healthy teeth.

Dental assistant jobs are multidimensional and most of the assistants work in clinics or hospitals taking care of patients, office or laboratory duties and other specialised duties. nurse jobs profile includes the responsibilities given by the dentist; surgery preparation and assistance, sterilizing all dental tools and equipment after the patients have been treated. The assistants or nurses may also maintain records of patients. Although there is not any specialisation required to work as an assistant but some training is preferable.

Those with a science background can pursue a Diploma or Bachelor's Course in Nursing. Many government and private colleges offer such courses that can be pursued after Class 12. The remuneration for dental assistants and nurses is quite decent but the field requires arduous work. With experience a dental assistant can climb the ladder of success and become office manager,assisting instructor or dental product sales representative. Dental nurses can establish as dental hygienist, oral health practitioner or orthodontic therapist.
