Asked by Proud mama of 3 boys
I am currently taking medical dental assiting classes through PCDI I'm sure you probably have heard it on tv. I will be finished with the course next year around the summer and I was wondering what the typical day is like for a medical or a dental assistant and if the job is enjoyable.

Best Answer:
Well I worked as both a medical and dental assistant~ Medical Assistant: Depending on which type of Dr you work for..but for me was Take patients vital signs Get them in the room ready to be seen by Dr Set up and break down rooms Call new prescriptions/refills into pharmacies for patients My advice don't work for a Dr that will make you do alot of secretarial things Dental Assistant Set up rooms for patient based on procedure Do mouth xrays Assist dentist with hands on procedures Do impressions Clean sanitize rooms and tools Some charting I definitly liked medical assisting better..and just make sure you like the Dr or dentist you work for, some can be real mean!
