Dr. : Dr. Zweig has given you good information. You should know that in california, you can work as a dental assistant while getting your credentials, although you would be very limited as to what you can do on a patient.

The : The first thing you would need to do is to contact the board of dental examiners and find out if your licenses (if you have any) are transferable. If not, you would have to take the x-ray exam. Depending on if your education is the equivalent of our registered dental assistant degree, you could possibly take the rda exam, but you wouldn't have to do that until after you are employed. We are always looking for smart, articulate dental assistants. I think your job possibilities are good. Good luck.
