In a previous episode of Gloves Off, we talked about how necessary education is for dental assistants. An important thing to remember is, the more you learn, the more you earn. It’s all about creating value in yourself. After all, you are the greatest asset you have, so the more you learn, the more you’ll grow. Get out there and take continuing education courses!
Advanced learning is a two-way street. As dentists, it’s our job to help our dental assistants get a great education, but dental assistants need to have some skin in the game too; it’s their career at stake.
In this episode, we’ll explore how to talk to your doctor about CE opportunities, as well as how to handle expanded functions and varying state regulations. Dental assistants are in a unique position to look for and learn about new products and services to take back to the practice.
Dental pros and dental patients, send us your questions! We’re talking about important topics that happen all day every day in the dental practice.
