Do they offer on the job training to become a dental assistant?

Trying to help my Mother find a better job. Right now shes working at a front desk for a doctor's office, and the pay isn't all to great.

Do they offer on the job training to become a dental assistant?
i highly doubt it. i'm pretty sure you need to be certified.
Reply:Only to students of an accredited dental assistant school.
Reply:I have several friends who completed a Basic Dental Assisting program at a tech school %26amp; it only took them 1 quarter (3 months). One of them is currently trying to get a job at an orthodontist's office %26amp; they send their assistants to a week-long course to teach them the specifics of ortho. assisting. Maybe your mom could see if an orthodontist will hire her %26amp; then send her for training.
