Dental X-Ray Licensure $25 Off our Fall Special $670 with Discount Code Fall2023

We are a California Dental Board-approved provider for the Dental X-Ray Licensure Course. This course meets all requirements to achieve the Dental X-Ray. It is suitable for any member of the dental community, as it benefits dental assistants, sterilization techs, front office staff, and out-of-state dental assistants looking to acquire their California RDA license. The program outline for Dental X-Ray includes 8 hours of didactic (lecture) instruction, 12 hours of pre-clinical instruction, and 12 hours of clinical experience with patients. The course is designed for the participants to complete and have their radiation certification by the end of the weekend.

The didactic portion includes anatomical landmarks related to dental radiology, radiology basics, infection control, radiology equipment, film mounting and interpretation basics, and technique basics. A written exam will be given at the conclusion of the didactic portion. The pre-clinical portion includes infection control, exposure to bitewing, periapical, bisecting, paralleling technique, processing films, and digital imaging. At California Dental Educators, we use the handheld NOMAD for exposure to X-rays. For clinical practice, you will expose two sets of 4 bitewings and three sets of 18 full-mouth series on a practice manikin. During the clinical patient portion, you will bring in four patients on a Saturday afternoon and Sunday of the course. Your patient criteria must meet requirements of no full mouth series, panoramic or cephalometric x-rays in the past year. All patients must have written permission from a licensed dentist.

We are dedicated to providing top-notch training from experienced instructors within the pediatric and adult RDA fields. Instructors are carefully selected for their unparalleled commitment to maintaining a current curriculum in line with the Dental Board of California, demonstrated leadership skills, 30+ years of experience in the dental community, and dedication to the education and advancement of each student.
