What kind of schooling do I need for Dental Assisting?
I am a Junior in highschool and i was wondering what kind of classes i need to take next year to be a dental assistant?

Most states do not require any schooling for dental assistants. You need certification to do dental x-rays and many states require you to take courses in infection control. The school I went to for dental assisting was a one-year program (I was certified in infection control, radiology, CPR, etc...). At the end of the course we were given the option of taking the national board (Dental Assisting National Board) and becoming a CDA. In NC, we are not required to take the national board to work as a dental assistant.
If you want info on requirements and the DANB visit http://www.danb.org
