What are temp dental assistants?

Temp dental assistants are dental professionals who work on a temporary basis, filling in for regular staff during absences, busy periods, or special projects. They perform the same duties as permanent dental assistants, such as preparing patients for treatment, sterilizing instruments, and assisting dentists during procedures. Temp dental assistants may work for a staffing agency or directly with dental offices, and their assignments can range from a single day to several weeks or months. This flexibility helps dental practices maintain smooth operations without interruptions in patient care.
