About DANB
DANB is the nationally recognized premier certification
organization for dental assistants. Since 1948, the Dental Assisting National Board, Inc. (DANB), a nonprofit organization,
has played a vital role in the oral healthcare community. Recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA)
as the national credentialing organization for dental assistants, DANB serves the public good by providing a means of
identifying qualified and competent dental assistants and by measuring and promoting excellence
in oral healthcare delivery. DANB exam programs are accredited by the National Commission for
Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
As a Mark of Dental Assisting Excellence™, DANB Certification is a source of pride for those who achieve it. For those dental assistants who meet the eligibility and exam requirements, certification may be earned in one or more of the following areas: • Certified Dental Assistant – CDA®
• Certified Orthodontic Assistant – COA®
In addition to these national credentials, DANB offers Certificates of Competency in Radiation Health and Safety (RHS®) and Infection Control (ICE®). Passing either or both of these exams allows a dental assistant to demonstrate competence in these two areas that are very important to the health and safety of oral healthcare workers and patients alike. The RHS and ICE exams are components of the CDA exam. ICE is also a component of the COA exam. Individuals have the opportunity to take these components separately and earn separate certificates, which make an impressive demonstration of personal achievement.
