🎬 Lesson 1 : Meet the Dental Team

👋 “Welcome to Lesson 1 of Dental Office Essentials for Beginners! I’m Shila, and I’ll be your guide through this journey. Today, we’re starting with the most important foundation — the dental team.

In every dental office, there are a few key players:

• The Dentist – they diagnose and treat patients.

• The Dental Hygienist – they focus on cleanings, preventive care, and oral health education.

• The Dental Assistant – they prepare instruments, support the dentist chairside, and help with sterilization.

• The Front Desk or Receptionist – they schedule appointments, handle calls, and greet patients.

• The Treatment Coordinator or Office Manager – they explain treatment plans, discuss payments, and keep the office running smoothly.

Each role is different, but they all share one goal: creating a positive experience for the patient.

👉 Takeaway: A dental office works like a family. When everyone supports each other, patients feel cared for, and the day flows smoothly. Think about which role excites you the most — that’s where your journey can begin!”
