Oral Surgery Assistant Jobs
Oral Surgery Assistants play a crucial role in the dental industry, ensuring that oral surgical procedures are carried out efficiently and safely. They support Oral Surgeons during surgeries by providing instruments, helping with patient care and maintaining sterile environments. Their responsibilities also include taking patient histories, assisting with sedation procedures, and pre- and post-operative patient education. They are instrumental in providing comfort and assurance to patients, and must have strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Important skills for an Oral Surgery Assistant include a comprehensive understanding of dental procedures, excellent hand-eye coordination, the ability to multitask and keep calm under pressure. They should be certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and may also need certification for Dental Anesthesia Assistant National Certification Examination (DAANCE). Prior to becoming an Oral Surgery Assistant, a person may have roles such as a Dental Assistant, Registered Dental Assistant, or Dental Hygienist. These roles provide the necessary experience and knowledge needed in oral surgery practices.
