Dental Assisting Certificate

The demand for dental assistants is estimated to increase by nearly 19% through 2026. Dental health is critically important to everyone. Cavities, gum infections, and other dental issues aren’t just painful and unattractive, but they can lead to other health problems, including heart disease. This is why dentistry is an important component of America’s health care industry.

With Northwestern College’s Dental Assisting certificate program, you will get the training on how to work within this high-demand field. Dental assistants work for private dental practices, dental clinics, or even federal, state, or local government health agencies. This program is designed to be completed in one year.

At Northwestern College, we are committed to providing you the training you need to help achieve your professional goals. We pride ourselves on having built progressive and effective curricula regarding career-based training, but we also believe in the value of each student who walks through our doors.

This means that although our goal is always to help you become marketable and successful as a professional, we never forget who you are—and who we are—in the process.
