Education: They require dental assistants to graduate from an accredited program and also pass an exam. Most programs are offered by community colleges. The programs may take about a year to complete and lead to a certificate or diploma. Programs that last the 2 years are less common and lead to an associate degree.
Demand or Need for this profession: Dental assistants who don't have formal education in dental assisting may learn their duties through on-the-job training. You will need to be licensed, registered or certified. They should hold a certification from the Dental Assisting National Board. To earn certification from DANB they must pass an exam.
Reflection: i would not like to be one because it would be a boring job. I don't want to work with teeth and have to do stuff in the mouth.
