Is dental assisting hard

Answer 1

The answer is, yes, it is quite tricky to become a dentist, moreover if you want to be a good one. It is a strongly surgical and interventional profession, requiring high skills such as handling rotary dental burs and sharp instruments, such as scalpels, tweezers, sharp probes, and all that in an oral cavity of a person that is mostly not sedated ( just anaesthesised ) and under stress, constantly pushing your instruments away with his tongue and producing lots of saliva due to the stress he's under, when 99% of the time you need a dry field to work in. Taking rational decisions under lots of stress is a must, and one needs a lot of practice to be able to handle the complexity of cases that arise in a daily practice. One needs sharp vision, steady hands, deep knowledge of what he's doing, creativity, and a good physical condition. Good luck!

Yes it is .. its a lot of workk but if your the kind of person who is organized, can study for hours and hard worker then you might find it easy. The only thing hard for me is doing lab work and having radiography requirements and seeing clients and studying for tests all at the same time.. Its veryy stressful but as i said it kind of depends on you, but i think its worth it at the end.
