Carey Martell is a licensed practical nurse in the Navy Reserve and plans to complete the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Herzing University. As part of a recent feature in Reserve + National Guard Magazine, Martell and others from Herzing heralded the importance of adding academic credentials to your existing military experience.

You will need to first earn a diploma or associate degree in dental assisting in order to eventually become a Licensed Dental Assistant in the state of Minnesota.

Our Certificate of Completion in Dental Radiology is designed to qualify you to deliver x-ray and other radiological services in a dental office, but it does not equip you with the skills and knowledge to practice as an LDA.

If you’re considering advancing your career as a dental assistant, keep in mind dental assistants earn a higher salary in Minnesota than any other state, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In Minnesota, dental assistants earn an average salary of $48,860 per year ($23.49 per hour).*
