Ever thought of becoming a dental hygienist, dental assistant, dental lab technician or a dentist?? We encourage you to visit the ADA website www.ada.org/public/education/index.asp and proceed to the Career Resources area for more information.
The LCDS recently initiated a Dental Assisting Scholarship Program to help dental assistant students with financial assistance, especially those who find certain hardship due to full or part-time employment, family and school. For eligibility requirements, please contact your Dental Assisting Program Coordinator for more information.
