Introduction
The demand for dental assistants is estimated to increase by nearly 19% through 2026. Dental health is critically important to everyone. Cavities, gum infections, and other dental issues aren’t just painful and unattractive, but they can lead to other health problems, including heart disease. This is why dentistry is an important component of America’s health care industry.
With Northwestern College’s Dental Assisting certificate program, you will get the training on how to work within this high-demand field. Dental assistants work for private dental practices, dental clinics, or even federal, state, or local government health agencies. This program is designed to be completed in one year.
