I am 23 years old and been in sales for most of my life..I am looking to change careers and enter the dental industry. I am enrolling into the pre-requisite classes at a near by community college and would like a receptionist job in a dental office to get my feet wet while in school. Any suggestions or does anyone know of a dental office in the Dallas area?

Please help, I am unemployed in 1 week!

Most of the time patients that are entering your dental office don't want to be there, it's a fear factor. It's up to you to put them at ease. I always find something to compliment my patients on with sincerity. I reasure some patients with my own good dental experiences. It also helps a great deal if the dentist that you're working for is a good ,kind and compassionate man or woman.

dental front office is sales seriously its high pressure sales in the end. keeping the schedule full and trying to talk ppl into spending money at your office on treatment they don't want done but need it however you have to try to get them to spend more money at your office for sometimes the same work as the cheaper dr around the corner... its huge huge sales and pressure of a dr barking at you to produce sales.
