If available, the following courses should be completed at a high school level prior to pursuing a dental career:

• Chemistry
• Biology
• Math
• Health
• Office Practices

Minimal education is required beyond these courses for dental assistants in Wisconsin. If they so choose, or are required to do so by their employer, they can attend a dental assisting education program. These typically take 9-12 months to complete and will result in status as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant, DANB Certified Dental Assistant or DANB Registered Dental Assistant. There are several dental assistant schools in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Dental Assistant Continuing Education Requirements

The state of Wisconsin does not have any mandatory continuing education for dental assistants. However, additional courses or DANB certifications will prove beneficial and are often the only way to advance in the field. DANB certifications may require periodical renewal or recertification.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring Dental Assistants in Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay, Wisconsin 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 Aurora Saint Luke's Medical Center, Saint Joseph's Hospital, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and Saint Mary's Hospital.
