Hey, sorry for the late reply. I really enjoy dental assisting, it's definately interesting. I haven't been doing it for long but I haven't come across anyone who has v* yet. Some people tend to gag a little when they have impressions taken or x-rays, but that's maybe 5% of the time (hardly ever, and usually it's because the person is anxious about having something in their mouth). I certinaly wouldn't let the possibility of it happening stop you from doing it as a job. When you think about it - there are many jobs that could involve v*!
