How many days a week does a dental assistant work?
Asked by Jay D
I was just woondering wether i wanted to be a dental assistant or an esthetician but who works longer hours.

Best Answer:
I've worked at several offices - and all dentists are different as to what hours they work. One office I worked Mon Tues Wed from 8:30 til 5, half a day Thurs and all day Friday. Another office was 7-3 two days a week and 2-10 (yup, pm) two days a week. Currently I work 6am - 4pm Mon Tues and Wed, with nice long 4 days weekends (but I've been there for 10 years and pretty much the dentist lets me get away with murder) I'd say 30-40 hours a week is pretty average, with most offices working 8-5 with an hour for lunch.

it depends on the office. my mom works as a dental assistant and she has worked a 5 day schedule at one office, some will have 4 days, sometimes she would have half days... so it depends on the hours the office is open, and what days the dentist will be in.
