I spy with my little eye… 👀 NEW DENTAL EQUIPMENT! 🦷✨

It might look like a little bit of a mess in our clinic right now, but by the end of next week, our new dental equipment should be ALL IN! 🙌

We are SO excited for what this means for our students and our program. We can’t wait to TRIPLE the number of students we can serve! 🎉🦷

Big things are happening, and we can’t wait to show you the finished product!

Our Dental Assisting I students are here and working hard on their first day of labs! 🦷✨

Today’s “bootcamp” is all about the essentials: handwashing, barriers, and personal protective equipment (PPE)—because keeping our students and our patients safe is always priority #1! 🧤🧼😷

We’re excited to watch these students learn, grow, and build the skills they need to succeed in the dental field!
