How to Review for the Registered Dental Assistant Exam

The DANB exam is given by the Dental Assisting National Board, Inc. The purpose of the exam is to measure aptitude and familiarity in subject matters required to be a successful dental assistant. Depending on your state, you may be required to take additional exams through the DANB to operate x-ray equipment. To prepare for this exam, you should complete a dental assisting program at a local trade school or community college.
