What is the position called for the person who assists the oral surgeon? A dental assistant?

And how much do they make? Do they generally make more than normal dental assistants? What education is required?They don't do anything more than getting necessary instruments out & holding the drool sucking thing, but it's a gross job looking at bloody stuff to be paid minimum age.

I dont think there is any diff between a dental assistant and an oral surgeon assistant. Other than the gross factor. I dont know any dental assistants that only make min. wage. Depends on where you live, but most make at least 8-10 dolllars an hr right out of school.
