Have you considered going into the healthcare field? Well dentistry can be just as rewarding – and has many perks! If you like the idea of going into healthcare but prefer better hours, time off, and holiday pay – the dental field is right for you!
Here are some perks stepping into the dental world :
Evenings, weekends and holidays off?
That’s right! Most dental offices typically have a 4 day work week. This means you usually get Mondays or Fridays off. Work-life balance is so important. Dentistry allows you to thrive in your craft and have a personal life outside of work. Most careers don’t offer that.
You can work as much or as little as you want?
Not interested in a four day work week or having a lot of time off? No problem! You can do it all in dentistry – there are tons of offices that are open seven days a week, and others who work five! There is a perfect office fit for everyone. Some dental offices work a half day on Friday or work every other Friday. It just depends on the people. You are sure to find your perfect match eventually – plus there are opportunities to sub and pick up shifts around your area.
Dental assistants are ALWAYS in high demand?
DENTISTS NEED QUALITY DENTAL ASSISTANTS. Upon graduations of Dental Office Training by Lynn’s Dental Assisting/Radiology program, YOU ARE WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. We have been established in the dental community for over 20 years. We have adjusted and perfected our program continuously over that time. We produce high quality, educated dental assistants into the dental community – and the 300+ dental offices we have worked with over the years know that. So be prepared to have multiple job opportunities when you graduate.
You can move up, and specialize in different skillsets?
Dental assisting can be a starting point for you. It is a great baseline to figure out where you want to go – or realize you want to stay! You can veer into Expanded Functions Dental Assisting which allow you place fillings and be more independent in your office. You can venture into a specialty field such as oral surgery where you can obtain all kinds of certifications. You can venture into office management or lab work. The possibilities are endless and they are all yours to create!
Dentistry requires the same type of personality as careers in the medical field. It requires empathy, organization, adaptability, and strong communicational skills. The main difference? GREAT HOURS. If you have a family, or simply just don’t want to work long shifts, dentistry is perfect for you!
Once you complete our 3-Month Dental Assisting/Radiology program located in Fishers, Indiana there will be so many different opportunities knocking at your doorstep. DOT graduates are flooded with opportunities and often have employment offers before they graduate. During our dental assisting program we host a career fair and schedule you for observation days so you can make an educated decision before accepting your first position.
