yeah the dental assistant may use those 3 the most… but what about all the tools we hand to the dentist? for instance, the basic setup – mouth mirror, dental explorer, periodontal prob, and cotton plyers. then to mix material, the dental spatula. and amalgam carrier, dycal instrument, amalgam plugger/condenser, hollenback, cleiod/discoid, ball burnishers, carvers, etc… and then the materials!! Dycal, Vitrebond, acid etch (obviously for composite) base catylist.. Ur missing a lot

I agree.. he makes the dental assistants job seem like theres nothing to it. definitely not the case.. not to mention forecepes for putting the clamp on for the dam, the pfi, lining instruments or even the difference in instruments for amalgam and composite.. this video missed alot of info about the dental assistants tools.

I would like to salute all the dental assistants out there that do a great job . In my opinion it was my stepping stone to becoming a dentist and I love what I do.
If it wasn’t for dental assistants the ship would sink.
We are the backbone of a well runned practice even though they don’t think so.
Most dentist have no clue of what a dental assistant really does. Therefore, I don’t understand why he is doing the video.=Dental Assistants Rock!

I appriciate the video. It was useful.
I understand there are more instruments and duties the dental assistant use and perform, you wouldn’t mind sending me direct links to any other videos concerning the dental field that you might have, that would be helpful. Thank you^^

I agree! We Dental Assistants use INSTRUMENTS not tools! We also use many more instruments than these.

You make it sound like all we do is suck spit. We work really hard. And have to know every little thing that needs to be set up so the dentist can do his job. I think the dental assistants work harder then anyone else in the dental office
