Dental Assisting continues to diversify and expand. Whether working chairside with the dentist, exposing X-rays or managing the business office, teaching or working in insurance or sales, dental assistants are vital to the success of the dental practice.

It’s a date being remembered this year by DUX Dental, a supporter of the American Dental Assistants Association Foundation.

Dental Assistants Recognition Week, scheduled for March 7-13, 2010, is a week-long tribute to the commitment and dedication dental assistants exhibit throughout the year.

“One Team, One Goal: Improving Oral Health” is the theme for the 33rd annual Dental Assistants Recognition Week: time for dental assistants to receive greater recognition for their own unique and diverse contributions to the dental profession and the dental health care of the public.

The American Dental Assistants Association (ADAA) has been the recognized voice of dental assisting for over 80 years. It remains committed to enhancing the public image and stature of the dental assisting profession and promoting quality dental health care to the public. We hope you’ll join us in recognizing Dental Assistants Recognition Week.
