Dental assistants are the helpers, the ones who clean your teeth, comfort your children, and give you the in’s and out’s of your health. For many people, however, that role in the office may seem underappreciated and usually goes unrecognized.
Founded by the American Dental Assistants Association in 1977, Dental Assistant Recognition Week is known as a great time to acknowledge and recognize the talent of those in each dental team.
This event is about showing appreciation for those in the dental industry and see how their hard work has improved the lives of many patients and improve the dental sector overall. Throughout the week, people in the United States and Canada celebrate by giving gifts to their favorite dental assistants, whether it be balloons and flowers or a simple thank you card.
Dental assistants help keep the business going, help assist in every way possible, and go far beyond to help their patients; that’s why on Dental Assistant Recognition Week, it’s always important to take the time to say thank you.
Give a Thoughtful Gift
One of the best ways to celebrate Dental Assistant Recognition Week if you have one in your family or friend group is by giving them gifts. Give them their favorite flowers, a thank you card, or if you’re cheeky enough, their favorite dessert.
Celebrate at Work
If you work in a dental office, decorate your facility with all kinds of beautiful decorations to say thank you to your friendly assistants. You can also go to the American Dental Assistants Association and find brochures and posters to advertise around your neighborhood!
