Looking to expand your career as a Dental Assistant even further? Here are a few ways in which you can accomplish this:
- Become a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA)
Our school offers the opportunity to get hands on experience taught by experienced instructors. A dental assistant certification could help you perform more dental assisting functions, and give you professional recognition and career growth potential.

This is a new certification offered by DANB that covers coronal polish, sealants, topical fluoride, and topical anesthetic. In some states, these functions are considered expanded duties. If this sounds like a good match for you, visit www.danb.org to learn more. - Become a Certified Orthodontic Assistant (COA)
Many orthodontic assistants take the COA exam in order to gain benefits of certification in their profession. Some states, such as Maryland, Massachusetts and Oregon, provide a separate professional title for orthodontic assistants. In these states, DANB’s COA certification is recognized as meeting state requirements. Check your state’s requirements to find out more information. For more information about COA certification, go to www.danb.org.
