Course Description: This program is designed to provide the student with the knowledge and skills to become a competent and professional entry level dental assistant. The class includes CPR and radiography pre-certification training. Completion of the program will grant the student eligibility to take the Certified Ohio Dental Assisting exam and the Ohio State Radiographers certification exam. After the required years of work experience, students will also be eligible to sit for the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB).
Cost: Cost of the program is $2950.00. Payment may be made by check or credit card.
