💬 Industry Voices: Why Dental Assistants Matter

“We’ve had this shortage for probably the last six years,” says Janet Waldron, founder of Dental Staff School. “Doctors are begging for well-trained dental assistants to join their teams. The pay is good, the hours are excellent, and you work with a team of professionals. It moves me to see students come in and then graduate—here for 10 weeks and boom—they’re out in the world starting a career.”

Dr. Jonathan Waldron of Waldron and Lee Dentistry adds, “Dental assistants are essential to practice success. They support CAD/CAM, whitening, and other procedures, allowing dentists to focus on care while patients remain in the hands of licensed professionals.”

🎓 Real Stories, Real Success

Kayla Nance, a graduate of Dental Staff School, shares her journey:

“I started working as a dental assistant in Turkey Creek, then earned my Expanded Functions certification at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. Now I work with Dr. Bible in Clinton—and I teach here too.”

Kayla sees the impact firsthand:

“There are job postings every single day. Most of our students have job offers or interviews before they finish the class. It’s a career that brings satisfaction and purpose.”

💰 Affordable Tuition & Financial Aid Options

Each 10-week program costs $5,550, which includes:

Jonathan Waldron, DDS, and his wife, Janet, have conducted Dental Staff School Marietta, and Knoxville for more than 18 years and have trained thousands of dental assistants in the Southeast. “We’ve been doing the Dental Staff Schools since 2005,” he added. “We started in Georgia and expanded to Alabama and Tennessee. I went to Duke undergrad and the cost of education is out of control. I use the hands-on experience I learned in the Navy and bring that and visuals and group discussion here so students can quickly master the skills of working in the varied areas of dental practices. “Dentistry is a growth field for several reasons,” Dr. Waldron said. “Georgia and Tennessee are growing, and people want to look good. They want to keep their teeth — and many dental offices are understaffed. “Our goal is to provide careers instead of jobs by making education practical and affordable,” Janet said. “This allows them to have a professional environment, competitive pay and family-friendly hours. They can attend our program while they keep their day job.”
