I want to go on the dental field?


Question:
do anybody know what is the starting salary for a dental assistant or dental radiology

Answers:
It depends on the area in which you live. Every city or area has different levels of living and expenses. Where I live, the doctors make the money, as does anyone in the medical field. I believe the lowest they would start is $7 per hour, and some may pay as well as $10 per hour. I am sure if you looked into a dental specialty, maybe training as a tech or for an oral surgeon, you could bring in more money. Anesthesilogists nurses make excellent money as well.

I have a good friend that went to school for dentistry, my cousin went and is now an oral surgeon. It depends on how dedicated you are to the field and how far you would want to go within the dental industry. Good luck.

dental assistants start at $10 in my office. i pay as high as $20 if it's the right person and lots of experience.

there is no such thing as a dental radiologist by the way...in the US that is.
I agree with Tomh, there is no such thing as a dental radiologist. But as a dental assistant you will learn to take dental x-rays. Assistants usually start anywhere, (depending on your experience), between 7-10 bucks and hour. I know some friends who make up to 16 bucks an hour. If you are a wonder woman dental assistant and click your bracelets together I'm sure you can make up to 20 an hour. It varies. However, if you want the real bucks (20-30 bucks an hour) just go for dental hygiene.....you'll be happier in the long run. Trust me. Goodluck!
