Health Programs » Intra Oral Dental Program I & II

Intra Oral Dental Level I & II Dental Assistants assist dentists during the examination and treatment of patients and perform both clinical and some adminstrative functions. Common Job Titles include Dental Assistant (Level I & II), Intra-Oral Dental Assistant and Preventative Dental Assistant (PDA). Intra-Oral (Level I & II) Dental Assistants are typically employed in dental offices, cental clinics, health units, hospitals and educational institutions. A 35-40 hour work week is common but some part-time, evening and Saturday work exists as dental offices extend business hours to accomodate patients' schedules.

Graduates of the Intra-Oral Dental (Level 11) Assisting program must write and successfully pass the NDAEB Level 11 certification examination in order to use their Level 11 skills in a dental office in the Province of Ontario. Upon passing the NDAEB Level 11 examination graduates may apply to the Ontario Dental Nurses and Assistants' Association (ODN&AA) for CDA Level 11 Certification.
