A dental assistant is an important member of an efficient dental team providing valuable service to both the office and the patient. An assistant anticipates the needs of a dentist and aids in intraoral procedures, takes x-rays, prepares lab work, is responsible for disinfection or sterilization protocols, and can also perform office administration duties. Elgin Community College s dental assisting program is comprised of three certificates completed in three semesters, each of which prepares you for an active role in dentistry through classroom, laboratory, and hands-on experiences in modern, high tech facilities where highly experienced dental professionals teach and supervise all on- and off-campus activities.
