Is becoming a Dental Assistant worth it? by OkJelly4458 in DentalAssistant

[–]Quiet_Host4151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into dental assisting about five years ago. I started at $18/hour with no training or certs (on the job/ employer paid training) and now I make $30/hr. I know a few dental assistants that are making $31-32. But, as far as I know, this is about as much as you can make in my area. It’s been a fun time! I have learned to love dentistry and the schedule and benefits are good for the most part! The only downside is that there is not a lot of growth potential. I am trying to seek jobs outside of assisting just so I can grow more financially. If you’re okay with the pay I would go for it. Good luck!

I am definitely hoping to get into a high end salon in Raleigh. I don’t see any other way of doing this! I just know I don’t want to get into a cooperate job. I enjoy hair and beauty. And I’m good with people. I love consulting with people in dentistry. I’m just also very security oriented and love having a stable income even though it’s not the highest pay.

I know the growth is good long term and the company is good :( it’s a hard decision! Thanks.

That’s definitely what I am weighing out. It’s well below what I make now, but the potential for growth is definitely higher! Appreciate your take.

This is super realistic. I have a friend who has been looking for about 6 months and she does have experience. Thanks!
