Requirements

• Have an open mind and be willing to learn a new skillset
• Plan to spend 8-12 hours of home study each week.
• Commitment to 2 years of employment with Acorn Dentistry for Kids.
• Full time availability
• Plan for expenses such as transportation between clinics in the area, textbooks, and DANB exam fees (all still a fraction of the cost of traditional Dental Assistant schooling).
