hello colleagues,
I've just move in to the U.S. this last nov., 07; I'm currently living in minneapolis, mn. I'm in the process of licensure through the board and so preparing for the board exams.
Fortunately for an income, i'm working as a dental technician (prostodontics' area) but would like to work as a dental assistant.
Does anybody know of a state that will allow me to work as dental assistant without a dent. assist's license?
With much respect and admiration to all, thanks 👍.

you can work as a dental assistant in florida. as far as i know, that's the only state to allow that.
good luck!
 
Hello, Can you explain what and where is the exam held? Is there some link on the internet where I can find more information about it?Thanks.
hello apsara20, my understanding is that once you apply online for the exam through the ADA WEB PAGE, they will give you a reference number for your payment and a phone number where you will have to contact them. They will assign you with a location, date and time like a university or somekind of a prometric location once they've checked your requirements. I'm not exactly sure if prometric is what they call those locations, but you can check with the ADA web page to make sure.
Do you know if you need a dental assistant license to work as so in the state you live in? if so what state is that? I'm thinking of moving to one for I really missed the clinician side of my career.
thank you,👍
