The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts excellent job opportunities for both dental assistants and dental hygienists. Workers in these popular careers obtain training in healthcare programs across the country.
For dental assistants, healthcare training typically means a year or less in a dental program. Earning a certificate or diploma in assisting can mean working in a dentist's office with median hourly earnings of $13.62.
Dental hygienists generally enroll for a longer period of training, and dental programs for hygienists typically result in an associate's degree. Trained hygienists working in a dentist's office have median hourly earnings of $28.
