Q: What are the benefits of taking this class as opposed to just finding a dental assisting job with little or no prior work experience?

Not only does this start to hamper the daily activities of the dental practice, but can frequently lead to frustrated staff members who have to assume the responsibility of training the new employee while trying to complete their numerous daily tasks.
