Market context
In Texas, dental practices often look for candidates with orthodontic assisting experience, current CPR or BCLS certification, and training from a CODA-accredited dental assisting program when available. These roles can be competitive because employers want assistants who can support chairside efficiency, adapt quickly to specialty workflows, and contribute to patient care with minimal onboarding.
