Dental Assistant Prep

Practicing with the Dental Assistant Prep app will help prepare you for the upcoming question on the exam.
Many dental assistants want to see their career grow. Often, that growth starts with earning DANB certification. In many states, DANB’s CDA certification is recognized or required to take x-rays or perform expanded functions. Dental assistants who hold CDA certification are more likely to climb the career ladder in their state and earn additional credentials.

In order to become certified, dental assistants must pass an examination that evaluates their knowledge. Most dental assistants who choose to become nationally certified take the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) examination offered by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB).

The Certified Dental Assistant exam is approximately 4 hours long and consists of 320 test questions. On a scale of 100 to 900 available points, test-takers must pass with a score of 400 or better, which they earn by completing 3 test sections:

General chairside test – 120 questions
Radiation health and safety – 100 questions
Infection control test – 100 questions

The Dental Assistant Prep app features over 360 questions comprised from the following:
Occupational Safety
Processing Radiographs
Dental Materials
Collecting Clinical Data
Standard Disease Precautions
Radiation Safety
Dental Emergencies
Oral Health
Chairside Materials
and more.
