Dental Assisting practice exams

Future Dental Assistants can now practice for important dental assisting certifying exams online at their convenience. This is a welcome addition to the hundreds of practice tests available for free to library patrons through the LearningExpress Library website.



The questions in the LearningExpress Dental Assisting Practices are modeled on those found in official dental assisting exams administered by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) and various state dental assisting associations, and offer test takers the essential practice they need to perform their best on the official exam.



Each Dental Assisting Practice Exam offers:
  • 100 multiple-choice questions designed to prepare test takers for the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) and Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) exams.
  • Authentic practice with a computerized testing environment
  • Instant online scoring and detailed answer explanations

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

  • Dental assistants, not to be confused with dental hygienists, work closely with, and under the supervision of, dentists. Assistants perform a variety of patient care, office, and laboratory duties.
  • Dental assistants held about 284,000 jobs in 2007.
  • The average annual income in 2007 was $32,280.
