Students learn about anatomy & physiology, clinical procedures, preparing patients for treatment, chairside assisting and radiology.
Students learn how to perform basic dental procedures, identify and use dental instruments and materials for chairside assisting, and much more! The training includes an off-site externship at a dental office that provides a real-world experience.
The Dental Assistant training program also prepares graduates for the Dental Assistant Examination to become a Registered Dental Assistant in the State of Texas.
Employment of dental assistants is expected to grow by 19 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Ongoing research linking oral health and general health will continue to increase the demand for preventive dental services. As dental practices grow, more dental assistants will be needed.
