I have to decide between training for Reg. Dental Assistant or Reg. Medical Assistant whats the best option?

Question

BTW..I'll be working in Arkansas.

Answer 1

Which end of the anatomy do you want to spend your time dealing with?

I would go for the medical assistant because I like the variety, but it isn't often that you have to deal with the issues of end of life in dentistry.

Although jaw cancer would come into play, bar fights, results from abuse, meth mouth.

OK, I stand by my first thought.

Answer 2

there is more opportunity for MA and there is more to do on a day to day basis. there are plenty of MA jobs at PureMedicalJobs.com

Answer 3

Med. Assistant there are more job opportunities.
