A dental assistant.
DA or CDA for certified dental assistant
yes
There is no official requirement of a degree to be a dental assistant. There are programs designed to learn the skills needed to be a dental assistant.
A dental assistant salary would be the salary the dental assistant is paid. Therefore, it is used to pay the dental assistant for their work in the dental office.
It is actually the choice of being a certified dental assistant or a REGISTERED dental assistant. The difference in the two, is that if you are a CDA you have taken an exam administered by the DANB (Dental Assisting National Board), and if you are an RDA then you have taken an exam administered by your state dental board. I am an expanded-functions RDA and can get a good job anywhere in the state, but I wish to travel to another state and still be in the career of dental assisting then I would need to get my CDA. :) So in conclusion, it really only matters if you are planning on traveling.
The median expected salary is $33,364 for a dental assistant in the United States. This of course varies with location. Salary can be as low as about $25,000 and as high as $40,000.
