Embracing a New Era
Those of you who operate a dental clinic know that your clinical team plays a major role in the operation of your practice. Dental assistants are important assets of your clinic, though many dentists do not truly realize the importance or impact a trained assistant can have. Dentists need the assistance of their dental staff to ensure that their services are more efficient and hassle-free. Among dentists who attend courses at Gerety Orthodontic Seminars with their assistants, our courses prove to be valuable investments.
Consider training your dental assistants and providing them with our expert guidance to allow them to better perform the tasks with which you need assistance. Having a skilled team will improve your effectiveness in general and also in the practice of orthodontics. Trained assistants will also help you in terms of earnings: they will reduce the time your patients spend in the dentist’s chair, regardless of the oral health issues that you are treating.
At Gerety Orthodontic Seminars, we offer comprehensive courses for dental assistants and dentists like you. Our courses will help your assistants gain deeper understanding of their work and build confidence in all their tasks. We invite you to review our website at www.orthodonticteaching.com and see the testimonials of both dentists and assistants who have achieved excellent results through our instruction. When you enroll with us, here are some of the tasks your dental assistants will practice.
When you attend courses with your dental assistants, they will gain confidence and skills in different areas of orthodontics. For example, they will be able to prepare effective orthodontic marketing, including the set up of photo boards, brochures, and proper marketing posts about your services. They should also be able to assist with various orthodontic screenings and assist in identifying whether a patient needs orthodontic care. In addition, dental assistants should be able to take:
During the patient’s initial consultation, a well-trained assistant should be able to assist you with any task that requires an extra hand. In addition to ceph tracings and models, assistants should digitize all records, save them in a proper format, and prepare patient consultation reports.
During a patient’s second orthodontic consultation, your dental assistant should be able to help you with sizing the orthodontic bands, cementing the bands, placing spacers, and preparing setups for brackets. They will learn how to assist with the sizing of arch wires and indirect or direct bracketing. Assistants should be able to place orders for patients, depending on the treatment that they need.
Both general dentistry and orthodontics are fields that require the help of capable assistants. These important staff members play a significant role in attending to the oral health needs of your patients. When you and your assistants attend courses taught by the excellent staff of Gerety Orthodontic Seminars, you will feel well equipped with the best information and techniques to diagnose and create treatment plans for your patients.
