This is our AMAZING Summer 2015 Class!

Summer Semester students are now Radiology Certified and CPR/AED Certified!

Wow, we have been so busy with our Spring and Summer classes that we've neglected our blog!  

Our fabulous Spring class graduated in May and we started our Summer class in June!

We are halfway done with Summer Semester and our students passed their Radiology final with the overall highest scores in the history of SLADA!  Great job students!

Welcome Spring Semester Students!

Welcome to our newest class for Spring 2015!  

They are great students, they are inquisitive and motivated!  We are excited to get our Spring Semester underway!

How appropriate that we spent National Tooth Fairy Day up at the new University of Utah School of Dentistry providing dental care for the "Give Kids A Smile Event"! 

 It was a privilege to be involved with such a great program and we had a great time! 

Can we just say WOW!!!  The new clinic at the U of U Dental School is AMAZING! So proud that we have such a high caliber School of Dentistry in the State of Utah.

We have 7 operatories that our students can utilize. This 

ensures that each student has his or her own operatory to 

maximize their hands-on training

massaging chairs!

 Students are welcome to enjoy our staff lounge to relax, 

study or grab a snack.

Our school is equipped with state of the art Digital

 images, significantly less radiation for patients, and no dark 

room chemicals for our students

 sterilization and infection control. We also have a lab where

 students can pour up models and make their bleaching

Congratulations on Radiology Certification and CPR/AED Certification!

It's been a busy week but all of our students passed their Radiology Final and are now officially Certified to take dental x-rays in the State of Utah!

We also had a fun night with CPR/AED Certification!  Thanks also to Dr. Martinez for providing us with Jamba juice, we needed the energy for those chest compressions!

Why Do We Use Mannequins For Dental Radiology?

First week of Dental Radiology and our students are doing well!  

Salt Lake Academy of Dental Assisting invests in several dental X-ray mannequins (Dexter) which have radiographic teeth. This enables students to get the very best training and as much practice as possible. It is prohibited by law to practice radiography on each other. By using Dexter, students can evaluate their X-rays and adjust their technique until they get a perfect diagnostic X-ray, without exposing each other to un-necessary radiation.

The next 3 weeks will be spent in Radiology lab and after a final exam, our students will be Certified in Dental Radiology for the State of Utah.
