    About Us

    Our Courses

    With each week of our 13-week course focusing on a different aspect of dentistry and being a dental assistant, we help students understand the necessary tools they will need. In order to assist dentists and hygienists on a regular basis, dental assistants need a complete knowledge of the tools, technology and procedures of dentistry. Our courses will help students learn to prepare materials, sterilize instruments/equipment, apply topical anesthetics, prepare dental charts, take dental X-rays, take impressions of a patient’s teeth, how to act in medical emergencies and properly pass instruments to the dentist. While some of these tasks can seem almost simple, the dental assistant must follow specific protocol and professionalism.
