You will graduate with a diploma in Dental Assisting & Front Office Management. To become a dental assistant in Texas, you do not actually need any credential. However, To acquire x-rays, you will need to obtain an RDA (registered dental assistant) license, which we work on throughout the program.
A Registered Dental Assistant is a dental assistant who has successfully completed the state-level registration process with the TSBDE to hold a Texas RDA Certificate which will legally permit the assistant to acquire x-rays in Texas. Dental Assistants who successfully register with the TSBDE and hold the Texas RDA Certificate may use the credential "Registered Dental Assistant" or "RDA". An RDA Certificate must be displayed where x-rays are made.
