Why Choose A Career In The Dental Industry?
According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of dental assistants is expected to grow 11% over the next 10 years - faster than the average job growth of many other industries. New and ongoing evidence suggests an important link between a person's overall health and their oral health. Because of this, demand for dental-related services is expected to stay strong for years to come. Dental offices in Georgia and other states must meet this projected demand. As such, the need for trained dental assistants will continue to grow.
As Baby Boomers grow older and as more men and women practice good oral hygiene, the need to treat and maintain one's teeth will lead to an increased need for quality dental care. Over the next decade, the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that nearly 24,000 new dental assisting jobs will be created. That means the future is bright for any student who has been educated through our dental assisting courses in Smyrna.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT DENTAL ASSISTANT CAREERS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS
- Rated #15 Out of 100 Best Health Care Support Jobs According to U.S News and World Report
- Rated #84 Out of Best 100 Jobs in All of the United States
- Average Salary: $40,080
- Unemployment Rate: 2.4%
- Number of Jobs: 23,400
What Does A Dental Assistant Do?
As a professional dental assistant, you will be tasked with managing a wide range of administrative and clinical responsibilities at a dental office. Dental assistants play a crucial role in the day-to-day workflow involved in a dental practice. They work alongside hygienists and dentists to provide patients with the highest quality oral care in the state of Georgia.
Common dental assistant job duties may include:
- Assisting in the lab
- Sterilizing dental equipment and tools
- Ordering and organizing supplies for their dental office
- Help perform x-rays
- Maintain and organize patient dental records
- Perform coronal polishing for patients
- Provide fluoride treatments for patients
- Help educate patients about how to maintain their oral health
- Help educate patients about best practices relating to proper oral hygiene
- Providing assistance to dentists and hygienists during cleanings
- Greet patients and make them feel comfortable

Why Attend a Dental Assisting School In Smyrna, GA?
They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, and that is exactly what you will be doing when you enroll at Assisting 101. We believe in getting our students ready for a lifelong career, not just a job that pays the bills. When you attend our award-winning dental assisting school, you are investing in a future rich with opportunity.
Unlike other workers who choose not to attend school for legitimate training, our students enjoy a quick start in a vibrant job market where financial and personal growth are common. When you become a dental assistant after graduation, you will have confidence knowing you are well-prepared for a life-changing career.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON REASONS WHY OUR STUDENTS SAY THEY CHOOSE TO ATTEND OUR DENTAL ASSISTING SCHOOL:
WORK IN AN EVER-GROWING INDUSTRY
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that job growth for dental assistants is growing at a faster rate than most other industries. This bodes well for our students, who will have job security as they navigate the workforce. In a time where many jobs are being replaced by robotics and other technological advances, the skills that you learn at Assisting 101 can help you for the rest of your life.
FULFILLING BALANCE BETWEEN LIFE AND WORK
The work/life balance in the U.S is a problem. Spending every waking hour at the office instead of home with family can be draining at best and depressing at worst. Unlike other professionals, dental assistants typically enjoy normal working hours during the business week. That means they have more free time to dedicate to their children and families.
ABILITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
When you are a dental assistant, you plan a crucial role in your dental office. But as an ambassador of the profession, you also help educate patients about the benefits of good oral hygiene. Given the ties between heart health and oral health, you are making more of a difference than you might realize.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
When students graduate from Assisting 101 and accept a job as a dental assistant, many choose to make it their lifelong career. For others, the role of dental assistant is just the beginning - a steppingstone to a role with more responsibility. After only a few years as a dental assistant in Smyrna, the chance to become a manager or supervisor will become much more likely. The sky is the limit!

Corporations have largely remained silent since the leak of a draft opinion suggesting that the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
The potential loss of what's been a constitutional right for nearly half a century has divided the country and created an uproar nationwide. However, major companies, with some exceptions, have yet to issue any statements on the matter. In some cases, major institutions have even declined comment.
GOLDMAN, JPMORGAN CONSIDER COVERING ABORTION TRAVEL COSTS FOR EMPLOYEES: REPORT
During times of crisis and change, corporate executives face the most important tests of their skills as thoughtful, influential leaders," Simon Associates Management Consultants CEO Andi Simon told FOX Business.
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon / AP Newsroom)
However, "facing the impending challenge of Roe v. Wade, they have few options, as their organizations and their clients are watching their responses," Simon added.
One way for leaders to handle the controversy would be "to bring their organizations together to discuss their positions and enable employees to find respectful ways to differ in how they view a woman's freedom to decide about abortion rights," Simon said.
By contrast, "corporate leaders can declare their organization's position and — as some companies are doing — support women seeking abortions," she added.
They also have a third option, she noted: Do nothing.
Simon cautioned, though, that either action "has meaning" and will have "implications for their internal and external stakeholders."
(AP Photo/John Bazemore / AP Newsroom)
Similarly, Summit Capital Consulting CEO Warren Rustand told FOX Business that, first and foremost, company leaders "have an obligation to do what is in the best interests of all stakeholders."
However, Rustand said it's important "not to overreact before all information is available." This means not reacting to rumor, innuendo, conspiracy theories or emotion, he added.
It's best for corporate leaders to "suspend judgement until the court rules on the issue" so that they can understand the full scope of the situation, Rustand reasoned.
Then, when responding to the issue, "the leader should be a voice of calm and reason," he added.
However, it's okay for leaders to be "humble and vulnerable" too, Simon said.
In this situation, Simon said, they can turn to their employees and say, "I don't have all the answers, but let's talk about it together. I need to hear what you have to say and help you rebuild the comfort you need to confront these changes'."
Rustand suggested leaders should make information available about Roe v. Wade "so that one has a foundation of knowledge." They should also bring in outside legal counsel to meet with employees, families, shareholders and vendors, he added.
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon / AP Newsroom)
Once the ruling is issued, leaders should consider bringing in an outside legal expert to meet with interested parties to explain the ruling and its implications, Rustand said.
He also suggested bringing in medical and legal advisors for "individuals who may want to have a confidential discussion for their own situation."

No matter the approach, Simon said it's time for leaders to "develop better solutions for dealing with upheavals, challenges and change" and to engage employees and customers in dialogue.

An ounce of prevention can save you lots of money in the long run and keep your home safe from damage.
Every year, termites cause billions of dollars of structural damage, and property owners spend over $2 billion treating these destructive pests. Preventing an infestation can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars out of your own pocket since many insurance companies will not cover termite damage. The destruction can be extensive, requiring repairs to structural beams, windows and even interior wall framing, which is why it's vital to have a professional termite inspector visit your home annually.
Fortunately, Thumbtack — a convenient home services app used by millions — makes it easier than ever to find top-rated termite inspectors in the Smyrna-Vinings area. Each pro on Thumbtack has their own profile with price information, allowing you to find a termite inspector who works within your budget.
While the cost for inspection will vary depending on various factors — such as your home's size, if there are hard-to-reach areas and whether you have additional outbuildings to inspect — the average fixed cost for a termite inspection in the greater Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA region is $118, according to data obtained by Thumbtack.
Clearly, the cost of an annual termite inspection is a small price to pay when you consider just how costly the damage of an untreated infestation can be. Here are some top-rated termite inspectors in the Smyrna-Vinings area.
After your termite inspection is complete, you can use Thumbtack to connect with other pros in the Smyrna-Vinings area to complete nearly any job on your list.

Brewers vs. Braves: TV channel, how to watch a live stream, picks & predictions for Friday’s game

The Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves square off on Friday with first pitch set for 7:20 p.m. Et. The game takes place at Truist Park in Smyrna, GA and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. Brewers Eric Lauer will get the start on the mound against the Braves Jesse Chavez.
Recently, the Brewers have been playing like one of the best teams in baseball. While they’re 18-8, Milwaukee is 8-2 in their last 10 games. Rowdy Tellez is hitting .275 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs. On the mound, in four starts, Lauer has been stellar as he’s 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA.
After winning the World Series last season, the Braves have gotten off to a slow start. However, they got their star back in Ronald Acuña last week. Not only does he provide them power at the plate, but also gives them a great average hitter. Austin Riley has surprised a bit this year as he’s hitting .270 with seven home runs and 14 RBIs. Chavez will make his eighth appearance of 2022 and his fifth with the Braves after being traded from the Chicago Cubs. This will likely be a bullpen game for Atlanta.
Brewers vs. Braves
Pitchers: Eric Lauer vs. Jesse ChavezFirst pitch: 7:20 PM ESTBrewers local broadcast: Bally Sports Wisconsin:Braves local broadcast: Bally Sports SouthLive stream: MLB.tv (subscription)Moneyline odds: Braves -115, Brewers -105
Picks & predictions
Moneyline pick: Braves -115
While the Brewers have been red hot, this is a needed series for the Braves. They need to get the bats going early, but this would be a great series for Atlanta to win. While the Braves have struggled hitting, they’ve hit the best at home.
Player prop pick: Eric Lauer over 6.5 strikeouts
Lauer is a tough lefty that is coming off back-to-back strong starts. He struck out 13 hitters against the Phillies on April 24th and followed that up by striking out 11 against the Cubs in his last start. There is a large swing-and-miss potential for the Braves lineup so look for Lauer to tally at least seven strikeouts.
