The Preventive Dentistry Scaling module at CDI College offers Registered Dental Assistants (RDAs) in Manitoba the opportunity to expand their skillset. A blend of theoretical home study and hands-on clinical training, Preventive Dentistry Scaling helps RDAs expand their practice and take on more duties on the job.
By the end of the module, students will be able to identify teeth and tooth groups in both children and adults. They’ll be able to describe the type of tooth, its location and anatomical features. Other topics covered include the stages of periodontal disease, plaque control programs, medical patient charts, proper use of instruments, and much more!

This program is modular-based and is open to those who are Registered Dental Assistants with the Manitoba Dental Association and have three years of experience. For more information on the program, fill out the form to your right or contact a campus advisor.
