Finding dental assistant schooling can be a very confusing process. There are online+local courses, local only, dental assistant certification, dental assistant registration, etc. Don't worry, that many options would confuse anyone!
First you must decide whether you'd like to become a registered dental assistant or a certified dental assistant. We recommend going the registered dental assistant (RDA) route as some states actually require it. And the ones that don't usually limit what a certified dental assistant can do vs an RDA, which means your opportunities and possibly your pay are limited as well.
Regardless of which path you choose, the road that leads there is largely the same: graduating from an accredited dental assisting program from a college near you.
We recommend searching around online for information on different schools, reaching out to a few of those schools and setting up meetings with admissions counselors to go over what each school has to offer you personally, and perhaps what they have to offer that other schools may not. Talking points should include financial aid, job placement programs, curriculum, study length and more
Making the decision to go to dental assistant school is a big life decision for most, but it is the starting point to long, fruitful career of helping others while getting paid. The only thing you have to decide is which is more rewarding!
