has anyone else noticed the lack of intelligence in dental assistants?
Because I was thinking it would be a great job for me LOL

Cheeb it might be a good job for you but for the opposite reason you suggest -
I actually have noticed my dental HYGIENISTS (they call themselves this)
are really SMART. Where do you live? Why are yours dumb and mine smart?

Maybe its just the SoCal ones?
All I know is that I had to sit in the waiting room for almost 2 hours yesterday because they couldnt figure out how to bill my insurance company, I finally ended up having to call my insurance company myself and then show the assistants/hygenists how to bill them, and they had been working there for I over a year!
The reason I went to that dentists office was because I had made an appointment at another dentist last Friday but when I went to go to the appointment they said I wasn’t in the app book. I told them “yeah I just like to make up appointments in my head and then show up at a dental office at 8am just for kicks !” = )

I think you are allowed to ask them to forward them on to the next person.
