About
Dental assistants work chairside with the dentist to assist with patient procedures, as well as provide clerical support to help keep the dental office running efficiently. At DTC’s dental assistant trade school, you’ll gain the experience and the skills you need to start working as a dental assistant alongside dentists and hygienists. DTC’s Dental Assisting Program in Mississippi is taught by instructors with years of experience in the field, who will teach you valuable skills through both hands-on lab and classroom instruction. The Dental Assisting Program ends with Externship, where you’ll take the skills you’ve been taught in the lab and apply them in-the-field at a dental office sitting side-by-side with a dentist.
