Specialized dentistry.

Knowledge of the disciplines of dentistry is needed for the dental assistant to properly communicate with the patient, insurance companies, labs and medical offices. It also helps the dental assistant identify workplace settings. It is the responsibility of the dental assistant to become familiar with these subject areas in order to better communicate with patients about their treatment. While it is nearly impossible to know the details of all of the thousands of dental procedures performed on patients, knowledge of the common topic areas helps the dental assistant to provide additional information to the patient.
