The Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) has introduced a new U.S. certification exam program: the Certified Preventive Dental Assistant (CPDA).
The CPDA certificate comprises four component exams:
- Coronal polish
- Sealants
- Topical anesthetic
- Topical fluoride
There are no prerequisites for taking the exams, according to DANB. However, candidates seeking the certification must apply through one of four eligibility pathways.
DANB recommends reviewing the CPDA application packet for complete eligibility requirements.
