Many assistants work directly with patients to get them familiarized with an upcoming procedure. Assistants also take and process x-rays, review patients' dental records, and make sure these records are kept up-to-date. Some assistants help dentists prep for procedures by sterilizing and laying out tools and implements, and may provide assistance and keep the patient's mouth clean while the dentist works. Assistants also advise patients of strategies for promoting good oral health care, especially after a dental procedure.
