    Description
    This course is the third part of a three-part course sequence which prepares students for positions as dental assistants. The focus in this course is on acquiring advanced dental assisting skills through externship placement and lab practice. Students will practice and perfect their chairside skills in an actual dentist office and will meet with the instructor on a weekly basis for additional skill practice. Classroom sessions will include a review of basic and advanced assisting procedures and radiology. The radiology curriculum is approved by the Dental Board of California (DBC) and successful completion of the entire course sequence, to include HEA 147A, HEA 147B, and HEA 147C will culminate in a Lake Tahoe Community College Dental Assisting Certificate of Completion, and Dental Board of California (DBC) approved Radiation Safety and Infection Control certificates.
