National Dental Assisting Examining Board
The National Dental Assisting Examining Board contributes to the health and public safety of Canadians through excellence in the examination and evaluation of dental assistants.
Our mission is to assure that dental assistants have met the current national standard in the knowledge and skills required by Canadian regulatory authorities. Through ongoing monitoring of current standards, practice, and assessment, we ensure our examinations are reliable, valid, and relevant.
Each year we assess over 2,000 Dental Assistants through examinations and evaluations across Canada.
We would like to grow stronger together by welcoming, representing and engaging with Indigenous students interested in a career in dental assisting. We hope to help expand opportunities through the Indspire build brighter futures program for First Nations, Inuit, and Metis students.
