However, many dental employers encourage continuing education and will even offer financial reimbursement or incentives. Many dental assistants use their hands-on experience and education as a pre-requisite for dental hygiene school. Dental Assistants are not currently required to register in the state of Massachusetts; however that is changing quickly and may be mandatory as early as 2010. Draft regulations regarding dental assistant registration are underway and once finalized the registration of dental assistants will be mandatory in Massachusetts.Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Dental Assistants in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge and Lowell, Massachusetts may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including the Massachusetts General Hospital, Winchester Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Marlborough Hospital.
