State Licensure/Registration


Requirements for registration for Dental Assistants varies from state to state and may involve more than successful program completion, passing a national certification exam, and/or passing a state board exam. Graduates who apply for registration may need to satisfy other requirements, such as completing an application, or paying a fee. Some states offer multiple pathways to achieve registration.

EICC makes every effort to verify the information provided on requirements for licensure is accurate and up-to-date, however, these requirements are subject to change at any time.
