As a dental assistant, you will be providing a vital service to your community. You will be helping people to maintain their oral health, which in turn will lead to a better overall quality of life!
Dental assisting is one of the FASTEST-GROWING occupations in the United States. Just in the North Alabama area, there is a HUGE DEMAND for skilled dental assistants. You will not have trouble finding a job, but rather have the problem of deciding which dental office to work for.
Dental offices are usually open 8-5 during the weekdays. This allows dental assistants to work predictable hours, have the weekends free, and find a great work/life balance compared to most jobs!
