Preparing treatment rooms, passing instruments during procedures, taking impressions and X-rays, sterilising equipment, managing patient records, and in expanded function states, performing certain clinical duties independently.
CDA or EFDA certification depending on state scope of practice, dental X-ray certification, and 1–2 years of chair-side assisting experience. Four-handed dentistry skills and familiarity with digital dental systems are a plus.
