As you undergo dental assistant training, you will discover that problems developing within the mouth can often be signs for other issues occurring throughout the body. When certain oral symptoms are displayed, you may discover that an underlying issue is a cause, one of which might be Type 2 diabetes. Spend some time learning just how pivotal dental teams can be in identifying this type of problem while providing patients with the help they need.

Oftentimes, you may find that through your dental assistant training, it may seem as if your role in the dentist’s office is minimal. The reality is that your role is one of the most integral and important parts of a dental office and its ability to safely and effectively help patients when they arrive for their appointments. Finding the right team and dentist who appreciate and understand this role will be important once you graduate, but until then, spend some time discovering all the ways you help to keep a dentist’s office moving in the right direction.
