RDAs often work flexible hours that may include evenings or weekends, depending on the dental office's hours of operation and patient needs.
RDAs work closely with dentists and dental hygienists to provide patient care and ensure the smooth operation of the dental office.
Most RDAs work in dental offices or clinics, assisting dentists during procedures and performing tasks like X-rays, instrument sterilization, and patient care.
RDAs may face health risks such as repetitive strain injuries from performing repetitive tasks and potential exposure to infectious diseases, which is why maintaining proper safety protocols is essential.
RDAs often stand for extended periods while assisting with procedures and need good manual dexterity to handle dental instruments.
