I am a Dental Assistant returning to work after being out of the loop for about 3 years. I have been offered a job with a General Dentistry Office. I have not really worked in this type of practice , only remember going through some clinicals during Dental School. I really need a list of the materials needed for dental procedures performed in a General Denistry Office.

Every dental office is different. They will or should show you how they do things and how they want things set up for there procedures. Just be confident with yourself, your skill will come back it will just take some time to adjust. Good luck!

I think most jobs, would like you to do things THEIR way. So if you ask the dentist to explain EXACTLY how he likes things done, it should earn you Brownie Points.
Just don't make it sound like you lack confidence. Besides, they will need to show you where everything is stored. And there is nothing wrong with taking notes. It shows that you want to get things right.
I wish you luck, but I'm sure you will do fine.
Congratulations on your new job!

The less baggage you bring to an office the better. The dentist should tell you what he wants. don't worry. Just pick up on the little things that you see him doing and asking and you'll be fine.
good Luck
