Dental Assistant Jobs – The Perfect Career?

da-other-02There are many available career choices. However, a dental assistant career is one of the most sought after in the entire dentistry industry. Dental assisting is a great choice that has a lot of prospects. It is a stable job choice and offers a blend of interpersonal and technical skills. The demand for dental assistants is expected to increase by thirty percent over the next seven years and it is a number that is above the expected growth rate for most other careers. Here are some reasons why people choose the field over the other fields:

The working conditions are comfortable

Have you ever done work outdoors before in the scorching heat of the summer? Or even a food service job that requires you to be inside a messy and a hot kitchen area? Thinking about the settings at work is important while choosing a career, and many people find that it is beneficial for them to work at a dental clinic as an assistant. Dental offices are comfortable, well lit and clean with settings, where the environment is courteous and professional.

The career outlook is positive

If you are considering a new career, then it pays to check the career outlook in that field. With dental assistant training, you would be entering a field that is projected to grow per the Occupational Outlook Handbook published by the U.S. Department of Labor. The rate at which this career is expected to grow is much faster than the average rate for all other occupations.

The pay is quite good

Another benefit of choosing a dental assistant career is that you can get paid quite well. You could be paid $22,000 per year as a beginner. An experienced dental assistant could earn $44,000 per year.

Becoming a dental assistant opens up many opportunities

Many a student find that a career as a dental assistant opens up many new opportunities for them and that it is a great way to start a new career. Some dental assistants prefer to continue in this career, while some others prefer to use this solely as a stepping stone toward an expanded role. Dental assistants can choose to get further training and become a dental hygienist or they can even work toward becoming office managers.
