Hello,
Welcome to the forums. There are 2 types of dental assistants (DA):
RDA= Registered Dental Assistant...which are those who go to school for being DAs, and have a certificate.
DA= Dental Assistant...no DA certificate, maybe of any level starting from highschool grad....up to international dentists-not yet licensed in the USA.
You may work as a DA, but I think you may need an "x-ray cerificate" which is a 2 or 3 day course-in most cases. I'm not sure about how to get this. MAybe someone else can elaborate on this issue.
Good luck in your bench!
