Growing Demand for Dental Assistants
According to Lynn Tomkins, former President (2022-23) of the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), Canada is facing a shortage of approximately 5000 dental assistants, impacting dental practices nationwide.A report by Risio Dental highlights that “many dentists are struggling to find the skilled professionals they need to provide quality care to their patients.” This shortage underscores the critical need for trained dental assistants who can support dental teams and ensure smooth operations within dental practices.
The Government of Canada’s Job Bank reports that employment prospects for dental assistants in Ontario are expected to remain good over the next few years. This demand is driven by several factors, including an aging population requiring more dental services and advancements in dental technology that necessitate skilled support staff.
What do Dental Assistants do?
What does a typical day look like for a dental assistant? Dental assistants play a vital role in patient care and office management. Their tasks include preparing patients for treatments, assisting dentists during procedures, sterilizing instruments, taking X-rays, and maintaining patient records. This dynamic role requires technical skills, attention to detail, and a compassionate approach to patient care.
