A Reason to Smile

A person’s smile is one of the first things you notice, and keeping it looking good is an important job. As a dental assistant, you’ll give others the confidence to show those pearly whites as you work alongside the dentist helping improve the health and appearance of their teeth. Your training at Florida Coast Career Tech will include the procedures for preparation and dispensing of dental instruments, taking x-rays and teeth impressions, and instructing patients on oral health and postoperative care. And you’ll be smiling knowing our tuition is thousands less than the for-profit schools.

Our Dental Assisting program will prepare you for everything from greeting patients and scheduling appointments to laboratory work and chairside assisting. You will also gain practical experience working with patients in our clinic and in private dental offices. You’ll be ready for the Dental Assisting National Board exam, and you may be certified by the Florida Board of Dentistry in expanded duties and dental radiology. The power to change your future is in your hands. Start now!
