Dental assistants strengthen dental practices and enhance patient satisfaction around the world. March 3 – 9 has been designated by the American Dental Assistants Association [2] as Dental Assistants Recognition Week.

As integral members of a practice, Dental Assistants support dentists and patients during procedures and perform essential administrative duties. They play a key role in educating patients about oral hygiene best practices, preparing people for dental procedures, taking impressions, exposing radiographs, infection control, recording patient notes, and scheduling appointments.

Come join CWI’s Dental Assisting program for dental presentations ranging from brushing and flossing techniques to new technology used in dental offices. 

Monday, March 6
9 a.m. – 11 a.m.
