What we do

Based on years of private practice, dental education and public health experience, our courses and curriculum provide a place for dentists, hygienists and assistants to learn new skills and advance their careers. When we started in 2012, most of our courses were classroom based. During 2020, our business model had to respond quickly to our client needs and adapt. We now offer our courses primarily online with the exception of American Heart Association CPR training.
