Program Description
A great smile is one way to make a positive first impression. Ask any qualified dentist and they will agree that today’s dental offices are inundated with people looking to improve their smiles and keep on top of their oral health. Certified dental assistants are essential members of the dental health care team; they work hard towards the common goal of providing quality oral care for dental clients. The 10-month (September–June) Certified Dental Assistant certificate program provides you with the opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary for employment as a certified dental assistant. This program combines clinical practice with lecture in preparation for a career in private practice, dental clinics, and other public health facilities.
