Dental assisting???

So I'm thinking about going to a a program called the Academy of Dental Assisting in Ky to become a dental assistant. Has anyone heard of this program? How much will I earn as a dental assistant?

I have not heard about that program, but if I were you, I would check with your local community college. They should be able to push you into the right direction for that program (whether they offer it or not). They can give you some pointers, let you talk with current students and help you with the details you need in order to get in.





Check salary.com to see what the pay rate is in your area. You can check to see what the average person in this field makes with the same background.





Good Luck.

Reply:my girlfriend just completed a program for Dental Assistant at Bryman College in Los angeles. Its a really good program, even before she graduated she had 3 job offers, if i'm not mistaken the starting wage is about $17.00-22.00/hr, i can double check that for you ....fibros@yahoo.com
Reply:I would look on the website for the American Dental Association (ADA) under 'careers in dentistry' and then 'dental team careers' and look for their listing of ADA accredited schools. If you have a county vo-tech school or community college nearby, they may have a dental assistant program which may be a lot less expensive than the school you mentioned which sounds like privately owned and who knows if it's accredited. Please steer clear from those 'online schools' such as penn foster and stratford career as most employers don't find them to be reputable.
