I've worked at several offices - and all dentists are different as to what hours they work.
One office I worked Mon Tues Wed from 8:30 til 5, half a day Thurs and all day Friday.
Another office was 7-3 two days a week and 2-10 (yup, pm) two days a week.
Currently I work 6am - 4pm Mon Tues and Wed, with nice long 4 days weekends (but I've been there for 10 years and pretty much the dentist lets me get away with murder)
I'd say 30-40 hours a week is pretty average, with most offices working 8-5 with an hour for lunch.
Dental assistants usually work 3 to 4 days weekly. A few work more. Some less. The great thing about dental assisting is there are generally no nights or weekends. Some of my assistants work for other dentists if they want to pick up some extra days. You can also work in any city or state. It's pretty easy to relocate.
it depends on the office. my mom works as a dental assistant and she has worked a 5 day schedule at one office, some will have 4 days, sometimes she would have half days... so it depends on the hours the office is open, and what days the dentist will be in.
