Texas asks something of new dental assistants, but not much time. Registered dental assistant status needs a course approved by the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners on x-ray positioning, jurisprudence, and infection control, plus basic life support and a human trafficking prevention course. Assistants who already hold the national Certified Dental Assistant credential can pass the Texas jurisprudence assessment in place of the board course.
