Course Description:

'' The objective of the Dental Assistant program is to prepare the students with the knowledge, the technical skills, and the work habits required for entry-level positions in the dental field. This program includes instruction in both the clinical (chair-side) and administrative aspects of dental assisting. Graduates may become Qualified/Expanded Function Dental Assistants by passing the Qualified Dental Assistant examination administered by the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners. Although the program is designed to prepare students to take various certification or licensing exams, the College cannot guarantee the student will pass those exams. In some cases, field experience may be necessary to be eligible to take or to successfully pass the exams. Students are eligible to sit for the State Board of Radiology Exam.
Graduates of this program may perform duties such as radiographs, instrument sterilization, tray set-ups, four-handed dentistry, equipment maintenance, impressions, model trimming, charting, and dental reception duties.

The length of the Dental Assistant program is 36 weeks of instructional time plus a 300 hour externship which is completed in 12 weeks. All students must complete the program with a minimum of 53.0 quarter credit hours. Upon successful completion of the Dental Assistant program, students will be awarded a certificate.
This program is represented to lead to multiple job opportunities and is not meant to lead to any particular outcome, including that specified in the program title. Although the College will assist the student with job placement, finding a job is the ultimate responsibility of the student. The College does not guarantee that any student will be placed in any particular job, or at all.
