The Dental Assistant Program prepares students to work in private dental offices, clinics, hospitals and other related businesses. Students learn the skills needed to become a chairside assistant and establish a foundation to pursue higher education in the dental field. Students learn to mix dental materials, identify instruments, greet and seat patients, provide proper infection control procedures and operate an autoclave. They also learn to record and file patients' records and fill out insurance forms.
Seniors qualify to take the radiography certification exam.
