From what I know, you don't need schooling for becoming a dental assistant. A lot of offices are willing to train you in CA.

I believe there is no schooling for that. Formal training will do.

In California, you do not need a license to work as a dental assistant and can be trained by an office that is willing to train you. Depending on the office's protocol, some may require you to obtain an x-ray license and some may require you to take an infection control class.
