Do I need to have a GED or high school diploma to become a dental assistant?

No formal training is required to be a dental assistant, so it would vary on each clinic as to their requirements for hiring someone. However, it is getting very common for high school students who are interested in this field to take vocational classes. It is also increasingly popular for many graduates to take 1 year of training.It is require that dental assistants that do x-rays to have some training and a license.

-quote- Many assistants learn their skills on the job, although an increasing number are trained in dental-assisting programs offered by community and junior colleges, trade schools, technical institutes, or the Armed Forces. Most programs take 1 year to complete. For assistants to perform more advanced functions, or to have the ability to complete radiological procedures, many States require assistants to obtain a license or certification.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
