Dental Assistant Job at Lilly Family Dentistry
Lilly Family Dentistry Whitefish, MT 59937
Full Time Dental Assistant Willing to Train the Right Person with Medical Experience
Lilly Family Dentistry is looking for full time dental assistant to assist in surgery and restorative care. LFD is a biological dental office. What is Biological Dentistry? Essentially, biological dentistry and holistic dentistry are the same. The two terms are interchangeable, so it’s common to see them used within the same context. According to the International Academy of Biological Dentistry & Medicine, a biological dentist understands that the mouth and body are connected and that illness or disease that occurs inside the body is reflected orally and vice versa. Factors like stress, diet, and sleep patterns have a direct impact on oral inflammation and disease.
Holistic dentistry is the practice of diagnosing, preventing, treating, and maintaining oral health using natural therapies. A biological dentist assesses a patient’s entire state of physical and emotional health before deciding on treatments.
Dental assistants are responsible for general clinic administrative work and maintenance, as well as completing lab work under the direction of the dentist. The Dental Assistant’s primary responsibility is to prepare the examination rooms for appointments by properly sterilizing instruments and ensuring all necessary equipment is ready for the dentist. They also assist the dentist during their procedures by handing them instruments and anticipating their needs throughout the appointment. LFD offers dental surgery under conscience sedation to patients including tooth extractions and implant placements. The dental assistant is responsible for keeping track of patient vitals and post op instructions.
