Gina starts her first day of Expanded Function Assisting School tonight! Her program will run from September to February and then she will be required to complete a set number of hours in an externship program, performing expanded function duties in the dental office. After that is complete, she will take her state exam and receive her license to practice as an expanded function assistant under the supervision of a dentist. It is always important to continue to grow as an assistant and if the state you live in enables you to expand your assisting skills-take advantage of it! In the state of Pennsylvania where we practice, EFDA's can place/polish composite restorations as well as sealants, coronal polish, apply fluoride and fabricate temporary crowns. Gina will blog about her experiences in the weeks to come.
