WHO IS THE OTHER PERSON AT THE DENTIST?

Who is the other person at the dentist? - Clubb Dental
When you come to the dentist for a checkup or for dental treatment you are there to see me - the dentist - but there is always someone else in the room - the Dental Assistant.

The Dental Assistant or Dental Nurse plays a very important role in assisting not only the dentist but also the patient during an appointment. They are not there just to attack you with the suction during your appointment.

We have 2 Dental Assistants at Clubb Dental who keep the place going every day, what are they doing?

WHAT DOES A DENTAL ASSISTANT DO?

Dental Assistants help dentists by making sure that everything needed is at hand to make your appointment go smoothly and maybe even faster.

Dental Assistants help the patient making sure that you are as comfortable as possible during any treatment, while I am concentrating on the best treatment outcomes the dental assistant is concentrating on your comfort.
