Dental practice act and infection control

Dental Assistants and those sitting for the RDA examination, are you aware that now you must complete an 8 hour hands on course in infection control as part of a legislative mandate? Enroll today in EFDAA’s Dental Board approved 8 Hour IC Course. We are one of the first to be approved.

Important Information for Dental Assistants sitting for the RDA examination: You must complete these two courses before you can become licensed as an RDA.
