Upcoming Event
Dental Assistants Recognition Week
The American Dental Assistants Association and the Professional Dental Assistants Education Foundation (PDAEF) is pleased to announce that Dental Assistants Recognition Week (DARW) is scheduled for March 1-7, 2020.
DARW is a week-long tribute to the commitment and dedication which dental assistants exhibit throughout the year. "A 20/20 Dental Assistant - Looking Toward the Future" is the theme for the 2020 DARW. It is a time for dental assistants to receive much deserved recogni-tion for their own unique and di-verse contributions to the dental profession and the dental health care of the public.
Dental assisting continues to di-versify and expand. Dental assis-tants have always been and con-tinue to be vital to the success of any dental practice. Whether you are working chair side with the dentist, taking x-rays, managing the business office, teaching, working in insurance , working in sales, or any other aspect of den-tistry, you are part of one team with one goal - improving oral health. SFVDAS salutes you!
Thanks for another great lecture!
