    Description

    Summary



    The clinical expanded function dental assistant assists the general dentist and dental specialist in many aspects of direct patient care and performs other clinical and clerical functions independently of direct supervision.



    Duties


    The VA Midwest Health Care Network advocates for a Whole Health System of care in each of the Medical Centers. This is an approach to healthcare that empowers and equips people to take charge of their health and well-being and live their lives to the fullest. As an employee operating in a Whole Health System of care, you will operate in a model with three core elements, seeking to create a personalized health plan for each Veteran. This is done in the context of healing relationships and healing environments and a connection back to the Veteran's community. This aligns with the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Mission Statement to Honor America's Veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being.

    Dental assistants at this level perform a higher level, scope, complexity and variety of dental assisting duties representing the clinical assignment and apply advanced clinical skills. The clinical expanded function dental assistant also performs the full range of duties for routine patient care with indirect supervision from the lead or supervisory dental assistant or the treating dentist. Clinical Expanded Function Dental Assistants perform assigned selected procedures with some independence. Some complex patient procedures are performed under indirect supervision of a more experienced clinical expanded function dental assistant or dentist.

    Dental Assistants at this level serve in expanded function dental assistant positions independently performing more complex work in assigned specialties. Incumbents must maintain Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) Certification. DANB provides a list of permissible clinical expanded function duties specific for each state.

    Duties include but are not limited to the following:

    • Performs mouth mirror inspections of the oral cavity
    • Gathers diagnostic information
    • Performs pulp vitality testing
    • Charts existing restoration and conditions
    • Selects shades for fixed and removable prostheses
