Our course covers the day-to-day functions and duties of being a dental assistant. You will learn from lecture videos featuring Dr. Fulcher and other highly experienced clinical instructors. Along with the lectures, there are supplemental videos of techniques and actual procedures such as sterilization, room set-up, taking x-rays, fillings, extractions, crowns, and more. You will also receive training on how to use Dentrix, the nationâs #1 dental software. By having online lectures, you can pause, rewind, and even rewatch lectures as needed.

Our online course is divided into 12 lectures, with each lecture consisting of video training, assigned textbook readings, a study guide, and a quiz. There are two exams: a midterm exam and a final exam. All assessments (both quizzes and exams) must be completed with a grade of 70% or higher. However, we offer unlimited reattempts on our assessments because we want you to succeed! All course content must be completed with a passing grade to complete the course.
