Can a person get a career in dental assisting with a felony?

Are dental assistants licensed in your area [state, country]?





If so, you need to visit the licensing authority's website [if there is one, and there usually is these days] and see if there are any disqualifications.





Also, it depends on the felony. If it was drug related and you are in a dental office with access to drugs, you are a likely candidate to be denied a license. If it was for some non-relevant crime [violation of an intellectual property statute for example], you may be able to get a waiver.





It depends entirely on the jurisdiction. In the common-law countries[USA, UK, Australia and NZ for example], professional licenses are treated most often as a privilege, not a right.





Good luck to you. I always am happy to see someone trying to improve their lot in life in a helping profession.

Proberbly. Look in your yellow pages for a Pardon Service, like Pardon Services Canada over here. They'll help in letting you get on with your life.

Reply:depends what u did but it will be difficult i mean if u killed someone then no but like stealing probabaly not well most likely no but some places give ppl chances hopefully u go to one of those most likely they will hire u if the felony isn't to big
Reply:I thought the requirements for being a dental assistant stated that you needed at least three felonies. It would be a big change if the requirement has been lowered to only one. Just can not get decent help these days!
