Other sections

Hi all, Has someone been allocated to radiography and the multidisciplinary sections of this wikipedia page? AndrianaRoz (talk) AndrianaRoz (talk) 04:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)AndrianaRoz[reply]

Other Countries

I agree with you RhiannonMc in that we can leave the other countries, however make it into a shorted paragraph. That way we can get other perspectives on how dental assistants work in other countries. AndrianaRoz (talk) 03:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)AndrianaRoz[reply]

to be honest with you guys, only when i researched other countries, i encountered the different things a dental assistant can do. also, the profession being registered in other countries but not in australia, and so on. kinda refreshing to know about the differences ––––Lonecrusader127 (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2018 (UTC)Gilbert NguyenLonecrusader127 (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2018 (UTC) for those of you interested, i have made the dental assistant in a language other than english. i have submitted it for review, once it passes the review i will try to link it to our page https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Lonecrusader127/Assistente_dentale[reply]

Hi |Lonecrusader127 the tables for the education make it much easier to read, well done. Thank you.

Infection control

Hi all I will be uploading the infection control for dental assistants. Just wondering if we wanted this to be in the same subheading of the sterilisation? AndrianaRoz (talk) 03:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)AndrianaRoz[reply]

AndrianaRoz (talk) 01:30, 18 May 2018 (UTC)AndrianaRoz AndrianaRoz (talk) 01:29, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could go under its own heading. But they are similar, up to you RhiannonMc (talk) 06:11, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Existing information

What do we all think about leaving the existing information about the other countries? Maybe we could reword it more concisely and leave it there, just needs citation? Then we're not dicounting other peoples additions or tempting bots to block us! Also, shall we remove the section about the wages under USA? I think this page should be about the importance of assistants and their roles, not so much their wage.

Hi Latrobe Team

Hey everyone, I've added some links to external pages like sterlisation and dental instruments for easy definitions. We just need to work on the body of the information now by adding our individual information. Is everyone still happy with the headings we discussed a while back? -intro/brief discription
roles of the DA
-training and whats required to work within australia
-sterilisation & infection control
-multidisciplinary teams
-health promotion/child care/school screenings
-radiography: licensing
-future roles of the DA
-references

If we each aim to write about 200-250 words on each I think that would be sufficient. Dont forget references and to keep discussions to the talk tab.

Page Improvements 2.0

Hi Latrobe Team; I've added a section for the roles of a DA, this can be further broken down to include the subsections we've each been allocated. Just use the subheading font to break it up. Any progress on finding a photograph that depicts a DA better than the current one? One that is not copyrighted? Any other photos or images we want to include? RhiannonMc (talk) 12:13, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page improvement

The introduction of the article is looking okay. There are some good links to other dental professions to help distinguish the difference. I think we could find a better photograph of a Dental Assistant, showing both them and the operator. There is a lot of repeated information in the section about Dental Assistants in Australia. I'm happy to alter that and add some information about Dental Assisting in Slovakia. RhiannonMc (talk) 12:00, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Exopsing Dental Radiograpghs

Shouldn't this be put under traditional duties instead of expanded duties? I'm a Dental Assistant student and one of the main teaching points in the Radiography classes is developing radiographs. In all the laws I've looked it this is not classified as a Expanded function. ShadowWriter (talk) 18:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
