Designated by the Canadian Dental Association and the Canadian Dental Assistants’ Association, March 6-12 is Dental Assistant Recognition Week.A certified or registered dental assistant is educated in infection control protocols, exposing and processing radiographs, providing patient education, assisting the dentist during procedures, independently providing intra oral treatment, performing laboratory tasks and much more. As part of the dental team they are essential to the oral care of Canadians! We're helping to spread the word this week as our team members will be sporting celebratory buttons for the occasion.For more information, visit the Canadian Dental Assistants’ Association website.
