Before the internet was as ubiquitous as it is today, finding dental assistant schools was a pain. Fortunately in today's modern age you can search for dental assistant schools online, send in an application and be on your way to dental assistant awesomeness within an hour(!)
To find the best dental assisting school, it's important to vet the potential candidates by searching for reviews from former and current students. There are plenty of review sites out there to gauge the quality of education, dental assistant job placement programs, course length and even professors thanks to sites like ratemyprofessor.com
You can also take a local-friendly approach and next time you visit the dentist for your biyearly checkup (you are scheduling a teeth cleaning every 6 months, right? ;) ) just ask your dental assistant where they went to school, if they'd recommend going there. She (or he) may even have a few tips on how to find work straight out of dental assistant school.
