Since 2008, the dental assisting programs at Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School have helped hundreds of students from all over WA and OR launch their dental assisting careers. Our experienced instructors create a fun, encouraging, exciting atmosphere where students can develop the clinical skills and personality needed to succeed as dental assistants.Besides classroom training, Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School offers the unique opportunity to observe real dental procedures at our on-site affiliated dental practice. However, there’s so much more to being a great dental assistant than hands-on skills. This is why our instructors focus on the human side of the dental field, focusing on empathy, helping patients relax, and maintaining a positive attitude.
