Dental Assisting Diploma—A Curriculum to Smile About

Remington College's eight-month⁽¹⁾ Dental Assisting Diploma Program offers a curriculum designed to prepare you for an entry-level position as a dental assistant in a private office or clinic. The coursework includes oral anatomy, radiology, and dental science fundamentals.

Students also have the opportunity to practice chairside assisting and preparing for dental emergencies. Another important aspect of the program curriculum is the opportunity to apply your new skills in a real dental practice through an externship.⁽²⁾

The Dental Assisting Program is organized into eight learning units called modules. Once you have successfully completed the first seven modules (while maintaining a minimum GPA requirement), you can participate in a dental assisting externship. This hands-on learning opportunity provides valuable and practical work experience.
