A dental assistant cover letter can be your biggest tool in landing an interview. While your cover letter will not secure a job for you, it should at the very least be able to get your foot in the door.
Writing a cover letter is not a difficult task. It should be a concise, to the point letter that is no longer than one page. The main purpose of a cover letter is to sell yourself to the company, and to obtain an interview.
There are several key points that you need to keep in mind while writing a dynamite cover letter.
When writing your cover letter keep in mind who you are writing to. You can write three kinds of cover letters: One for an advertised opening, one to introduce yourself to a company as a cold-contact letter, or a letter in which you mention someone from your network.
A letter for an advertised opening is the most common type. Most of the jobs that you apply for will be open positions in which the hiring manager is expecting replies.
A cold-contact letter is one in which you send an introduction to the hiring manager asking if they have any opening, or any need for your services. Some companies have openings available, but do not advertise for them.

Dear Mr. Justin,
After seeing your advertisement for the position of a dental assistant in the Daily News I started to write this letter to apply for the mentioned position in the advertisement. Lately, I have graduated from Global Tech School's dental assisting program. I received a Certified Dental Assistant license and state x-ray license while attending this program.
During the office internships, I gained 50 hours of clinical experience and I am proficient in all the aspects of dental assisting but mostly interested in blah-blah-blah procedures.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you in person for telling more about my qualifications and background in an interview after you read the enclosed resume.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
Richard Anderson.
