Full Time RDAs are Registered Dental Assistants who work full-time hours, typically 35-40 hours per week, in dental offices or clinics. They assist dentists during procedures, take x-rays, prepare patients, sterilize instruments, and manage patient records.

To thrive as a Full Time Registered Dental Assistant, you need a solid background in dental procedures, infection control, and patient care, usually supported by completion of an accredited dental assisting program and current RDA certification. Familiarity with dental software, digital x-rays, and sterilization equipment is typically required. Strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently in a team setting are valuable soft skills. These competencies ensure safe, effective dental care and a positive patient experience in a busy dental practice.
