Our Expanded Duties program is designed to ensure dental assistants abide by the requirements set by the Georgia Board of Dentistry.  For a dental assistant in Georgia to legally monitor patients under nitrous oxide, desensitize teeth, apply fluoride and sealants, and fabricate temporaries extraorally, the assistant must complete 12 hours of instruction that satisfies Georgia code section 150-9-.02. Our mission is to offer a highly efficient and affordable expanded duty course which prepares students with the necessary skills to perform required duties. 

Upon completing the course, you will have the skills and knowledge necessary to perform additional techniques, procedures and applications as a dental assistant. These new skills and insight may help you grow in your career and be prepared for advanced positions.

Program cost is $740.00 for non-Dental Staff School graduates and $380 for Dental Staff School alumni. All supplies needed to complete the course are included in the cost. We will email you the study guides along with any other necessary paperwork two weeks prior to the course date.
