Hi all!

I’m interested in becoming a dental assistant and was wondering if it would be possible to do so without attending a program?
 
Depends on what state you live in. My state doesn’t require certification or liscensing (many job openings prefer it though), but the state next to mine does require certification or a liscense. Generally speaking though, it would be easier to find a job if you went through a program due to experience requirements jobs may have.
