Due to the COVID 19 Virus, per State regulations, we have suspended the spring class until the first of May 2020. For the most part the students have elected to do two days a week to
finish their training on schedule June 6, 2020. We wish you and yours a safe path through this serious time.
Welcome! Take a peek at our class.
Our students are learning their new "Hands on Skills" in a positive environment while having healthy activities to keep food, fluids and fresh air as part of their training.
We are in week #8 and the students have already tested on dentition and instrument identification and charting. This week they will also focus on "Greeting, seating and dismissing their patients within the HIPPA guidelines.
Every week from now until end of class they will continue there hands on skills with coronal polishes, X-rays and impressions while focusing on dentition and instruments in the classroom.
