Company Information:: The Dental Assistant Program prepares graduates to work with dentists as they examine and treat patients.

Dental Assistants with documented skills also may carry out a variety of laboratory, clinical and office duties. Some dental assistants manage the office and are responsible for patient scheduling and bookkeeping functions.

Graduates receive a technical diploma and are eligible to write the certification examination of the Dental Assisting National Board. Most dental assistants work in general or specialized dental offices, either for individual dentists or for groups of dentists.

Some dental assistants may choose to work for insurance companies, dental laboratories, or dental supply companies.

Following education as a dental assistant, some individuals may pursue additional education as a dental hygienist.
