In the field of dental clinical sciences, you might find work as a dental hygienist, a general dentist, or an assistant. Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) certification is often required upon completion of an accredited dental assisting program; this certification is state-regulated and varies depending on where you live. To practice as a dental hygienist in any state, one must first obtain a license, which typically necessitates completing a CODA-approved educational program and completing a written and practical examination. After completing dental school, prospective dentists must take and pass the written and clinical portions of the National Board of Dental Examinations.
