The shortage of dental assistants is a problem that many oral surgeons are facing today. With an aging population and a growing demand for dental services, the need for dental assistants continues to increase. Unfortunately, the supply of qualified dental assistants is not keeping pace. This has led to an increase in oral surgeons taking on the role of dental assistants, leading to a shortage of qualified dental assistants in many areas. Fortunately, oral surgeons are taking steps to address the shortage of dental assistants. In order to meet the growing demand for dental services, many oral surgeons have begun to offer more comprehensive training programs to dental assistants. This includes courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, oral surgery, and dental assisting. This provides dental assistants with the skills they need to provide effective care to their patients. In addition, oral surgeons are working closely with local schools and dental assistant programs to ensure that they are adequately preparing their students to become successful dental assistants. This includes providing guidance on the curriculum and ensuring that students have the necessary skills to be successful in their new role. Finally, oral surgeons are taking steps to create a more supportive environment for dental assistants. This includes providing mentoring and other forms of support to ensure that dental assistants feel comfortable and confident in their roles. Feel free to call us to discuss strategies on finding local talent.
