Your day often involves rapid assessments, providing pain relief, performing temporary or definitive treatments, and determining if patients require further specialist care. The role is hands-on, fast-paced, and often varied, with cases ranging from routine to complex. You’ll frequently collaborate with dental assistants and sometimes work alongside other healthcare providers in hospital or urgent care settings, making teamwork and adaptability key components of your work environment.
