    this would be lovely if most offices had three different people working these jobs, but every office I've worked at the front for has had me to do all three. It gets tiresome, and there is little to no pay off and you're usually so busy you don't get a break. Then you get talked down to by the clinical staff because they think you just 'sit on your ass all day' (actually had a few assistants say to me even though I've done their job before and know the front is by far the harder of the two).

    Only work in a dental office if you are a dentist, hygienist or EFDA. Receptionist position will get you nowhere. I have 18 yrs in dental offices as receptionist, biller, insurance coordinator, even assistant office manager and the most I made was in the low $20s after so many years in the field. And it was tough to even make that much. It's a stressful job between dealing with the patients, dentist expectations and if there is management on top of that and keep in mind the long office hours most dental offices have. I worked until 8 pm countless times for years. Rarely benefits are offered. Yes some offices have but in my experience most don't. And I mean like health, 401k and even dental benefits. I tell everyone I know to steer clear of working in dental offices unless they are going for the 3 jobs I mentioned above (dentist, hygienists make good money with only an associate's degree and EFDAs make good money too after the training).
