Why Dental Assisting Is A Top Job
from DentistryIQ Editors
Many dental assistants love their careers, and for good reason! Dental assisting offers variety and career growth. Here are some examples of why dental assisting is a fantastic career.
Flexibility
There’s flexibility in how to become a dental assistant. Some assistants are trained on the job, others attend a formal dental assisting education program, and some dental assistants have a combination of on-the-job training and classroom education. Additionally, many states offer multiple ways to become eligible to earn state credentials and perform additional duties.

Career growth
More and more, states are expanding the functions that dental assistants are allowed to perform – which means more opportunity for dental assistants’ career growth. In most states, DANB’s Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) certification or its component exams are recognized or required as one way to be eligible to take on more duties.
