Georgia Dental Assistant Continuing Education Requirements

There are no set continuing education requirements for dental assistants since most of their education comes through on the job training. Many dental assistants choose to use their work experience as a bridge to pursing a dental hygienist degree. Many dentists offer tuition reimbursement for continuing education courses.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Dental Assistants in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus and Savannah, Georgia may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including Atlanta Medical Center, Grady Memorial Hospital, WellStar Kennestone Hospital, and DeKalb Medical at North Decatur.
