Q. I live in West Virginia but I'm not against moving to make more money. So, I am curious about how much they can make in the surrounding states such as Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina?
A. I may have answered this same question before, but I'll do it again.
In West Va. (where I live and work), dental assistants can expect to start out at $7.00/hr. w/ no training or experience. That said, w/ experience, they start from $9.00/hr. up. Many assistants in my area make $12 - $13 hr. w/ a few years at the same office. Many assistants in Charleston make upwards of $15/hr. Still, it all varies.
I don't know about Ohio, Kentucky or Virginia, but I know about North Carolina. You have to be a Certified Dental Assistant in NC, but you don't have to be certified (yet) in WV. In NC, they have DA1's and DA2's. Many offices will only hire DA2's. With experience, they start at at least $17.00/hr and go up considerable. Average DA2 w/ several years at the same company makes around $24/hr in Charlotte.
I hope this helps. Dental assisting is a great field. The hours are wonderful and if you find the right office for you, it's just like having a 2nd family. The dentist I worked for was wonderful, truly wonderful. However, there are some very mean ones out there, too. Good luck to you!

Can someone in the Charlotte area recommend a good tmj specialist?
Q.
A. I cannot recommend a good TMD specialist...but I do commend you for your concern. This is one of the most abused areas in dentistry and a lot of folks are scammed by dentist looking to make a fast buck. Be very careful and if the dentist seems to know 'all' the answers...beware! Nobody knows all the answers with TMD, it is comparable to lower back pain and MD's. Good Luck
