Professional dental assistants need continuing
education and can receive it FREE of charge with the
convenience of on-line delivery in unlimited quantities as
a member of the American Dental Assistants Association
(ADAA). America’s oldest and largest dental assisting
organization is now providing its active and student
members with all the continuing education they need
and want with no review or testing fees. Visit www.
dentalassistant.org for a list of courses and the many
other benefits of membership. The ADAA is open to
all professionals working in the dental practice who
contribute significantly to the dental practice and the
enhancement of the delivery of dental health care,
whether in the chairside, front desk, administration,
scheduling, receptionist, managers or lab tech position.
March 4-10, 2012, is Dental Assistant Recognition
Week, a week set aside to recognize the contributions
of the dental assisting staff to patient care. Governor
Jindal has set forth a proclamation recognizing the
dental assistants and their contribution to the practice of
dentistry. The ADAA website (www.dentalassistant.org)
has a link to a company who has items for sale with the
DARW (Dental Assistant Recognition Week) logo.
There is still space available for the Round Table
Learning program hosted by the Louisiana Dental
Assistants Association, the Louisiana Dental Association
and the New Orleans Dental Association. The Program will
be held on Friday, April 13, 2012, from 9 a.m. to noon in
the Morial Convention Center Exhibit Hall. The Program
is limited to 40 participants, so reserve your spot today.
We have an excellent program focusing on information
that will provide the participants with knowledge
regarding significant aspects of their position, further
enhancing their importance in the success of the
practice. The speakers are:
“Preventive Maintenance to Reduce Workplace
Stress.”
Hygiene Program: “What’s going on in the
Hygiene Room”
Do Your Dental Assistants Need Job Specific C.E.
“Going Green and other updates in the Dental
Assisting Field.”
Consultant, “Following through on Vital
Sequences for Practice Success.”
There will be four Continuing Education Points
available through the Dental Assisting National Board.
We hope you join us for the round table program
as well as joining your state and national association of
professional dental assistants, LDAA (www.ladaa.org)
and the ADAA.
