Dental Assistant
About the Program
| 16-credit technical diploma Dental assistants perform a variety of patient care, office and laboratory responsibilities. They provide chair-side assistance as dentists examine and treat patients. They make patients as comfortable as possible in the dental chair, prepare them for treatment and obtain their dental records. In this statewide set program, students will also use and care for dental equipment, expose and process radiographs, assist with dental emergencies, record medical and dental information, maintain a supply inventory and perform related dental office and laboratory procedures under the direction and supervision of a dentist.
