We’re Celebrating Dental Assistants Recognition Week

March 1, 2021

We’re celebrating Dental Assistants Recognition Week during March 7-13. We greatly value our dental assistants here at Total Dental Care of South Carolina, and so do our patients. Here are a few things they’ve passed on to us about them:

“Great dentist and assistants.”

“Dental assistant and dentist are very nice and professional.”

“His assistant … was just as awesome! Great personality and explained my treatment plan thoroughly.”

“I could go on about this dentist. I will definitely be a longtime patient. Not to mention his assistant. I love her as well, she is very professional as well as the office staff.”

Your dental assistant will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, whether you’re new to our office or have been coming here for decades. They will help Dr. Forbes with X-rays at your exam and with procedures to make sure your visit is seamless and relaxing. They also play other important roles here, as this short ADA video explains.

Be sure to tell your assistant thank you during Dental Assistants Recognition Week, whether you’re in the office or on our Facebook page. To visit a caring team in Columbia, call 803-272-4162 or request an appointment online today.
