Background checks are an ongoing issue with Dental Assistants. You can complete the training from your dental assistants school and get your license. Your license will be valid for three to five years depending on the state you live in. Upon renewal, another background check will be completed. You can lose your license and your career if you have had any criminal activity during your licensing period. Again, it depends on the regulations for your state. Since state regulations vary, keep that in mind when considering transferring your Dental Assistant license to another state.
Drug testing regulations have come into play to provide safety for patients and other staff. Drug convictions will generally result in you not being admitted to a dental assistants school. It is believed the drugs will impair your ability to perform your job duties in the manner they must be done in. Also, since drugs are available on site of dental facilities, it is possible you will take them.
If you have a drug abuse habit, please be responsible enough to seek help before applying to any of the dental assistants schools. Dismissal from one dental assistants school on those grounds will make it very difficult for you to be accepted at another.
