Thank you for your interest in the Northwest Ohio Dental Assisting School. If you would like to pursue training as a dental assistant without giving up your current job, and if you want to receive a top notch education in a reasonable length of time, then you’ve come to the right place. We try to be sensitive to the needs of our students who must work while going to school, but still want to receive the very best training, and all at an affordable cost. The mission of the Northwest Ohio Dental Assisting School is to offer our students an education in dental assisting using the tools of both lecture and hands-on training. We want to introduce you to a profession you can be proud to work in, versus simply having a job. You will actually train in a beautiful, working, state-of-the-art dental office.

We have deliberately chosen the finest staff for our school. Our director and all of the instructors are working assistants with years of experience. Our director and many of the instructors have achieved the highest level of training possible in the profession, that of an “advanced qualified” dental assistant capable of placing restorations in teeth for the dentist. Northwest Ohio Dental Assisting School is a private, co-educational program registered and approved by the State of Ohio Board of Career Colleges and Schools. Our course of study runs for 11 consecutive weeks on class days from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
