Are the shorter dental assistant training schools worth it?

I don't know much about online courses, but in Dental Assisting you're going to need hands-on , the clinical part is the most important part of the curriculum.They probably require you to find an office to complete your practical, are they affiliated with any dental offices? From my experience, the best dental school you can go to is somewhere you can get your hands-on training. There are a lot of Dr's that hire DA's without any dental knowledge or experience, the training that you get is better than what you get after you get out of DA school.After a few yrs experience and you can go for your certification, you can do a self-review or attend a short review course for the test. Don't get me wrong, it's good to have the formal education but it doesn't have to be too involved, a short course will suffice , just to get the basic knowledge in dentistry because once you get hired,you will still have to learn their system.Of course they will start you with a lower salary, but I will even work for free just to get in. Then work your way up.There's alot of growth opportunities in dental assisting. Don't spend too much $ in choosing the right school, longer programs and more $ don't always mean it's better.

I did a 10 week Saturday only Dental Assistant course and graduated in April 2010.

I still haven't found work in the field. And the school I graduated from told us up front that they do not provide any type of job placement services.

Yet, many of the women in the class went on to find employment. One girl "Barbie type" found work before the class was completed.

So, its possible to find work in the field. Nothing to be afraid of at all. If you have a goal in mind! Go for it.

You are blessed that your program has job placement!

That's awesome!

Don't rely on the school to find you a job, you have to search for it. Think about the number of students per class, if they know of an opening, who do you think they would refer first? They can help but it's not a guarantee. Bear in mind, personality plays a major part on your interview, and personalize your resume. I see a lot of applicants who went to the same school has the exact (word per word, i'm not kidding)resume that I don't even bother reading it anymore. Keep searching, DA's are very in demand right now,so don't give up and best of luck to you. You will find the office that's right for you.

Check these schools out carefully before you decide to enroll there. I believe that you have to have an industry-approved course. Even if you go to school, they cannot guarantee you a job. All they can do is just help you, but it's really up to the employer. Besides, I also believe that it's against the law for any school to guarantee you a job.

Kelsey in Houston, Texas said: According to the many Dentist and 3 placement agencies that I spoke with they would not hire someone from a short term program for more than $8 an hour. If they have a greaduate from an accreditted program who is an RDA and CDA they are starting out anywhere from $10-$14 an hour. They stated to me that they were not overseen enough and many of these short term programs are not providing proper infection control and OSHA regulations. I even spoke with one placement agency who told me she just throws all the proprietary resumes in the trash when she gets them because they do not even know there teeth numbers. So yes attitude plays a big part however there has to be basic knowledge and a safety factor since we are dealing with blood and body fluids. I have met students from these programs and they are not even aware that they are suppose to have a hepatits vaccine as well as wear nitrile gloves when processing instruments.

Kelsey: You hit it there right on the nose. These trade school ads on TV don't even tell you the reality of being a dental assistant and what to expect on the job. Besides dealing with blood and body fluids, you have to look inside peoples' dirty mouths.

In fact, one commercial starts out by asking "Why did I choose dental assisting?" And here are the answers: "Because I wanted a better life", "Because I wanted to help people", and "Because I love to see people smile." Well how about what you mentioned Kelsey? "Because I love to deal with blood and body fluids."

Being a dental assistant is not as glamorous and exciting as you think. I clearly can't stress this, but these trade school ads need to tell you the truth about working as a dental assistant, or any other job. They should simply stop glamorizing these jobs and tell it like is. Thank you.

lizzle in Sacramento, California said: Check into ROP programs! ROP is a class held by some high schools. They are just as good and wont charge you an arm and a leg. I took an ROP class that was 9 months long. I graduate next week. This course was cheaper than the private college. It cost me $300 for the class and an extra $300 for the xray class. I started interning in an office in Nov. so Ive been getting hands on experience for 6 months now. I feel that the time Ive been given has really helped me to feel comfortable assisting. I feel that I can adapt to any office and any doctor. The RDA in my office went to a private college years ago and is still paying off her student loans. Shes told me quite a few times that she wished she would have taken an ROP course instead. Not only is it cheaper but you get more time to learn the specifics of assisting.

Lizzle thank you for your comment, because of that I just register in ROP, and feeling excited to start!

you are better off not paying a dime for Dental ASsisting school unless it is DANB credited.. The Dentist would rather train you his way and for cheap then after you paying 2 to 5 grand on a school that means nothing you graduate but not with a CDA which means more money and is accredited with Dental Assisting National Board.. Anything else means nothing.. just and fyi.... stay away from these schools.. I learned on the job and make great money now and am an oral surgeon assistant... kmf

Has anyone gone to the National School of Dental Assisting?
I am thinking about attending the 12 week course and would like to know if it is worth it or am i just wasting my time and money? And is it accredited?

I did say this before but wanted to say it again.

The short courses are good but keep in mind I took a 10 week course & graduated almost 2 years ago and I still havent found a job. I mean I am glad I took the course and I learned a lot but wish I could find a job.

So the short courses are a good way to learn the basics. But some states may not hire you since most short courses dont xray certify you.

dont do on the job training or research a danb school google them

Kendall in Little Rock, Arkansas said: well i am starting a 10 week program in just about a month and i was starting to get scared from reading all this stuff about not having jobs but i think im gonna do it now after reading your comment

kiaa in Mckinney, Texas said: careersindental,
Thanks!well i looked on the eligible training provider system site and the school is listed!however, i have asked the representative from the school about their precentage rate her reply was was that she doesnt like to give out %rates because it depends on your attitude, professional apperance, how hard you look to get a job and where you look, and personality and how hard you do the work and what the dentist is actually looking for at that time. They are lisecensed and regulated through the texas workforce... i just want to make sure im not wasting my money. im also interested in expanded duties and this school doesnt go much into it..

you are wasting your money being acredited by your state unfortunately means nothing you need to be DANB certified.. Google that or yankee convention held in Boston every januarty

she is correct friendliess is the most important... I absolutely love my job i am out on unpaid medical leave almost seven months actually more going into 8 i miss my patients and my job

Desiree in Rockford, Illinois said: Im interested in going to become a DA, the local community college offers a 6 week program with no type of certification for about 2000, there is also a class through a local dental office that is 10 weeks, 1 day a week, around 3,000 and is state certified ( www.dentalcareersfoundationrkfd.com/ ) otherwise I am considering Goodman Career Institute which is 3 months 3 days a week and is around 3000 as well
( www.goodmancareerinstitute.com/Classes_l.html ) For the price Goodman sounds more in depth even though it longer. It is state certified as well. My problem is I call or look online at these school, can't find reviews and of course over the phone it sounds great. I was hoping maybe someone on here with some experience could possibly look in to the two websites I've listed and give me their opinion, I want to make the right choice but in my area there are not many schools that offer DA programs, my goal is to become a hygienist after becoming a DA and there are good job offers all the time in my area. Please Help! Thanks, feel free to email me as well motoxchic8913@aol.com

put your name into hygeine school now there's a long wait they make 45 hr we make half that with a specialty again google danb or yankee you will learn termannnnnnology but that's about it... you can email me to let me know i know my stuff no joke

bigmomma in Luling, Texas said: I'm also wondering if anyone has attended the Hulen Dental Assistants school's ten week program in Fort Worth, TX.
The price is right but they don't do an externship or help with a job after graduation.

noone cares unless you are danb certified they will pay your 13 to start cause you didn't go to an accredited school and teach them their way anyways.....

holymoly in Bedford, Texas said: I am considering a career as a dental assistant. One of my friends says that I wouldn't be suited for for the position of Dental assistant because I'm quite friendly and chatty. She says that a dental assistant has to be very quiet all day because the patients can't return the conversation. What do you think? Should I try another career because of this?

soooooooooooooooooooooooooo the exact opposite well depending on your boss im chatty cathy and im good i drive my boss crazy sometimes but the patients love me and compliment me to him all the time so no stay with assisting

I am looking into taking the course in the Woodlands and wanted to find out if anyone has taken this course and if you got the complete training needed in this field to find work.
thanks.

Holymoly- As I tell my students, each office is looking for their particular need as far as personalities go. I am an outgoing, fun individual and would not appreciate working in an office with a lot of quiet people. The same goes for someone quiet, they would not want to deal with me! lol

Kiaa in McKinney- By law a school has to show you their yearly reports from the State. It definitely makes a difference when chosing a school. I am proud to show our year end results!

bigmomma-Personally speaking, look for a school in your area that offers externship. I ask my students all the time if they would prefer not to have to attend extern and only do class a few days a week. Unanamously they all agree that extern helps them have a better understanding of things.

mistee said: i attended an acelerated program in ohio and i really feel this is more of a hands on type of job. my school had a lot of book work and while we did practice in a lab we had no patients. it was more of a joke than anything. on top of that im 15000 in debt for attending this school. i`d say if you can find a school that does hands on in a dental office with patients go for it. you`ll need that more than all the book work plus a lot of places hire off the street with no school necessary to become an assistant

if anyone knows of a practice willing to do that in NJ or NC please let me know<3

Kim if you would please contact me by email with the instructors number cause i went to that class and need to ask her some vital questions could you please send me the number I would greatly appreciate it tell her my name is Chasity if she asks. my email is nowlin98@gmail.com thanx kim.

Hi, I have some questions for ya'll. I'm a male, in my early 40's, and am considering going to school for DA. There is a 12 wk school in a dentist's office in the city of Bethany. I am curious if anyone reading this board has experience with it. I checked out Platt College, but the cost was outrageous, and there's a lot of negative feedback online about Platt. Francis Tuttle is a reasonable price, but it's 10 months, if I could really get enough training in 12 weeks, that would be great. But if you can't get hired afterword, then obviously it wouldn't be worth it. I haven't been able to find any reviews of the place online. If anybody reading this went there or knows someone who did, I would love to hear what your opinion of it was, positive or negative.

LuvDentistry in Dallas, Texas said: All I am saying is that I went to a 12 week school, loved it, did not waste my time or money, got a job.
Dentistry doesnt need negative people in the field. We are here to comfort our patients, help the dentist so he can have an easy day, work as a team and truly, compassionately love what we do.

What school did you go to? im looking for some in the area.
im in Dallas Tx

Hello,
I am relocating to the San Antonio, TX area and have been looking into schools to become a DA. One school I'm currently looking into is Windcrest Dental Assisting School. Its a 120 hour, 15 class school which has classes all day on Saturdays. Has anyone been to that school and can give me any pointers on if this is a good school, if its very hands one, etc . . . .

For those who may be interested, we have a school in Glendale Arizona that trains dental assistants in thirteen weeks. it is taught by dentists in a real dental office setting and with real job applications.We follow a great time tested curriculum and give you personalized hands on experience. Our graduates come out well trained, and ready to get to work.We really don't expect them to remember all the finer details of the muscles of the neck, but we teach them well so they can be gainfully employed in a short time without being in debt. our website is northsideacademyofdentalassisting.com.

Mike,
I'm the Owner of a 3 month program near Dallas Tx. Choosing a school can be difficult and confusing. I'm a firm believer that you don't need a year long program to become a Dental Assistant. Either way you choose, you will still be considered an "entry level" dental assistant. Advise would be to call your area dental offices and ask them if they've hired anyone from the school you are looking at. Further more, ask them if they hire from a short or long program. Dentistry is a small organization, meaning reputations get out there and a good school name is what you want on your resume! I'm not sure about the State requirements (do they require you to be State certified assistant?). if they do, be sure the school you're going to offers the State Board teaching and test.
Good luck to you in your adventure!

Not sure who keeps advertising "you can become a dental assistant without a degree". But that is completely false! A dental assistant needs training in both practicum and clinical with the main focus being hands on. Many States also require an assistant to be certified. I've seen online courses and my question is this....in Dentistry, when you interview for a job, most doctors like you to perform either a half or full day of a "working interview" where you are seated next to the Doctor and work on patients. If all you have is book knowledge, how do you expect to know the hands on portion? Please, be wary of schools who are one day a week for 10 weeks where you are going to school basically for only 10 days, and the online courses! Take time to search schools, call your area doctors to see what they desire when hiring etc.

You CAN become a dental assistant without a degree! I have been a dental assistant
for many years and was trained without certification or experience! Most of the dental asistants I know were trained that way. Only some states require certification. The websitewww.dentalassistantopportunity.com is CORRECT

Denise in Pompano Beach, Florida said: I graduated from a 12 week program that is accredited with the Florida Board for Education and the Florida Board of Dentistry. I immediately was hired following graduation making $16/hour. The training I received enabled me to feel confident in my career as a dental assistant. I strongly recommended shorter (often less expensive programs) over lengthy, overpriced programs. I started a 9 month program, and after realizing they were going to waste four months (and $10,000)of it on terminology and spelling, I switch to the So. Florida Dental Assisting School and I graduated and was working before any of my classmated from the 9 month program! A 12 week dental assisting program is a great opprotunity!

HELP HELP HELP!!!
I've been a dental assistant for 3 years and I will be moving to FLorida in a few months and NONE of my certifications are accepted in FLorida so I have to start all over and take a dental assistant program
Did the 12 week program get you your x-ray AND expanded functions certificate? Also, how much was the program?

I'm so frustrated that I have to go back to school when I already know everything!!

see what classes you can waive (take a test without taking the class).

I spent over 20 years working in the dental health career field-employed in both the private and public sectors. I received my training in the United States Air Force. The dental assisting training program is comprised of a formal technical training school and then followed by On-the-Job clinical training and completion of 8 further months of study through continuing ed courses (with monthly exams). The training cost me nothing. In fact, I earned a paycheck from day one. I left the Air Force with excellent skills and well documented experience(and some life-long friends all over the country that I trained with and still work as dental assistants or dental lab technicians). I received my CDA with a 98% passing score. The only time I have been unemployed, has been by choice. Every position I sought-I was hired for. For those girls that do not have the resources of money and time for a high quality dental assisting school, this might be an avenue worth exploring. It certainly served me well, while I served my country.

I have a question, I am a newly graduated Dental Assistant,, I have my Dental Assistant Certificate, I passed my written test with an A and my practical, but I cannot seem to pass the Radiology part. I really hated the class, even though I love the profession, I have shadowed quite a bit and I am an older student. The class was 11 weeks, I catch on pretty quick, but the instructors were seem more concerned about money, and would cut us off if we asked questions, they would try to seem as if they cared but really did not. Most of the ladies did not know how to put the film in, how many film we needed, so therefore out of 30 students the reason i think they would not pass me is because I am making payments and the other students had grants to pay for their schools. I cannot prove this, also one of the ladies was testing for xrays and was allowed to go back and do bitewings because she forgot to do them. We are allowed 15 minutes to take xrays. But she is allowed to go back and retake bitewings without time taken off? They now have me coming in practicing on my xray shots and i really dont know if they are going to let me try to test out again. Or just keep me coming to hang on to the money. Please help. Frustrated! Most Dentists want XRAY Certified Assistants.

I see so many dental assistants saying that they have just finish school and are "Certified Dental Assistant", and I have a question..... Have you taken the National Board or you saying certified because you have finishing the program ???

I did not say i was certified. I have a Dental Assisting Diploma. Sorry for the confusion.

Also,. one instructor said my xrays were fine and the other said they were not.

Okay ,thank you for clearing that for me....

There is much discussion on here in regards to Registered Dental Assistant and Certified Dental Assistant. Before you chose a school, check out your State Board of Dental Examiners to find out what your particular State requires. Not all demand you to be Certified which is the Nationals State Board. Do not persecute those you feel went to a shorter program to save time and money. If their State only requires them to take the State Boards to be a Registered Assistant, that is all they will need in order to find employment.
SophiDraga, find out who Certifies the school you went to. In Texas, we have to be Licensed and Certified to own/run a school. Therefore, if a student has a complaint, they have someone to contact above and beyond just the school for assitance with refunds, greivances etc. Good luck to you and I'm sorry you had a bad experience :o(

I am a Certified Dental Assistant from DANB Dental Assisting National Board I live in the Boston Area. I went on a job interivew took a 17,000 yes dollar cut in pay... I look back now and i started at a pretty good rate.. Anysways i hate to say it but it's true the Dentist I worked for was looking for someone to mold his way.. Smart, quick learner and didn't have to pay much I was taking xrays shouldn't have been i told him that he was cheap i wanted to further my educaion .... You do NOT NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL> The only certification worth anything is DANB well that's in Bosotn and they are in chicago... nothing else is respected.. I didn't go to school I got a tutor whihc my new boss paid for studied hard and passed with flying colors I would not want to do that again.. Then I got into Oral Surgery.. Its mostly repetative and know what your doctor wants and when he wants it.. Learning the instruments geting xray certified in absolutely nessecary but you don't have to go to school.. I learned on the job and was extreemly lucky to have a boss pay for it.. which they should.. The reason at that practice was it was pedo so i could clean teeth do alot alot more hands on with the kids.. Then I had enough of goo gooing people all day and left and went to an oral and cosmetic practice.. I actually learned so much at the pedo and takng xrays on kids , molds ortho too everything else came like a breeze.. It's your choice again some dentists being honest are cheap and everything you learn in school is not what your dentist does.. could use totally different materials.. IDK im glad the way I did it and I had the opportunity to do.. if you want to learn how to suction and the instruments and materials i would go just t

I was a dental assistant about 15 yrs. ago. I left the field to raise my family. My children are older now, so I would like to return to dental assisting. I am planning on taking a dental assisting course to refresh my memory. I know that I have a long road ahead of me as far as becoming a CDA and RDA. My question is, is there age discrimination in dental assisting? I am 42 yrs.old, and before I spend the time and money taking classes, I'd like to know if my age is going to be a factor in finding employment.Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jamie You should call the school and ask for a tour they have them on Saturdays or go to the orientation next month. I called and took a tour, I loved it you get to see how the other girls spend their day. They had about 30 girls totalbut some in groups of 4 in different labs and about 15 in a classroom. The ladies their seem really nice and willing to help. I start in July.
