Dental Assistant Course and Exam (TSBDE Approved)
All dental assistants who still need radiology registration with the State Board will need to take and pass a TSBDE approved course and examination covering required objectives in Jurisprudence, Infection Control and Radiology. The goal of the Texas Academy of General Dentistry's Dental Assistant Course is to provide sufficient information to permit dental assistants to gain knowledge and understanding of the critical concepts associated with each of these areas of certification in order to facilitate success in each examination. The RDA (Radiology Certificate) Credential is an Optional Certificate for Dental Assistants. The Dental Practice Act regulates all dental auxiliaries who take x-rays, monitor the administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Inhalation Conscious Sedation, apply Pit and Fissure Sealants and perform Coronal Polishing.
Radiology Certifications issued by other state regulatory agencies will not transfer to Texas.
