Employment Outlook:  Employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 11 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations.  Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire. (U.S. Dept. of Labor)

Request to be added to our interactive Closed Facebook Group for networking with other dental assistants in the state and posting/searching dental assisting jobs in Florida shared by the group.



Our mission is simple: 

 

To promote the dental assisting profession in matters of education, legislation, credentialing and professional involvement which will enhance the delivery of quality oral healthcare to the public.
