A life of an Assistant


Hello there,
My name is Nathalia. 
My husband and I moved to California about three years ago after I finished my Dental Bachelor's school in Brazil.
At first I got the typical job for a foreign in America, a nanny, which by the way,  it was a blast! My goal though was to become the best Dental Assistant I could be since becoming a DDS here was really not my deal.


After 15 months working as a DA,  I'm now in the process of getting my RDA (becoming Registered)! "But why?" you might be thinking. Well, why just be an Assistant if you can get to do more? The Dental Board of California changed a lot of the regulations, allowing RDA's to do more duties in the dental office. 


With all my searching and difficulties (Portuguese is my first language!) I thought to start my own blog, where people can come, share their experiences and get more info so you won't be a lost bee like I was for so long. Maybe you will decide to become an RDA too... Because seriously, it can be fun :)


Anyways,  I hope you find a good Dental Office to work. That really helps to be content and do your best at work. I also hope you enjoy my blog and find a lot of needed information to be the best assistant!
