Dental
Assistants are Vital
Team Members
March 7-13, 2010, has
been designated as Dental
Assistants Recognition
Week by the American
Dental Assistants
Association and the
American Dental
Association.
As the dental profession
has evolved, so has the
role of dental assistants.
In addition to chairside
duties, assistants are
involved in imaging,
laboratory procedures and
other expanded duty
activities. They work in
close collaboration with
hospital admit techs and
nurses, along with staff
in the sterilization and
dispensary units.
"All components of the
auxiliary team are
critical to the quality of
services provided at the
dental school," said Dean
Henry Gremillion. "It
requires a deep, personal
commitment to constantly
strive to serve others.
That's why it's important
for all of us to pause and
express our gratitude to
our dental assistants and
the whole auxiliary team."
A breakfast for the
assistants and auxiliary
team will be held
Wednesday, March 10th.
