    FAQs

    We have answers to your dental assisting school questions!

    Are you certified after the course?
     With our program you will receive certificates of completion in: Chairside Assisting, North Carolina X-Ray certification, Dental Emergencies, and OSHA. We now offer the CPR course if you need it.

    Do you find us a job when we complete the course?
     The student is responsible for applying and interviewing for jobs. We post job openings on our website and within the classroom.

    Does the school find or place us in our job shadowing/observation hours that are required?
     If a student cannot find shadowing/observation and can prove their efforts to find one, we will arrange shadowing/observation, but conditions may apply.

    Will a dentist hire you if you take a short course like yours?
    Yes. Many dentists like to train dental assistants in the way of their practices. You can obtain an entry level position in a dental office as a DA1. What many people don’t know is that you don’t have to go to a school to be trained as a dental assistant. It helps, but if the dentist is willing to train you in his office and you work for 3000 hours with that dentist, you can then take the dental assisting national boards without going to a school.
    Is the dental X-Ray included in the dental assisting program?
    Yes.
    Can you just take the dental X-Ray course?
    In dentistry, an individual has to be a dentist, assistant, hygienist, or a dental receptionist that has a DA1 status in order to take radiographs.
    The requirements for the dental X-Ray course are the student must have worked in a dental office for at least one year as a DA1. We welcome all DA2 who have moved in the North Carolina area needing the NC X-Ray Certificate. An individual who has a current CDA is exempted from the state requirements.
