Wayne Community College’s Dental Assisting graduating class of 2025 achieved a 100% pass rate on the exam required to become a Certified Dental Assistant.
Each of the 18 students who graduated in July passed the Dental Assisting National Board exam on the first attempt.
The exam components test students on radiation health and safety, infection control, and general chairside assisting.
“I am so proud of our Dental Assisting students for their hard work, dedication, and skill that resulted in a 100% pass rate,” WCC Dean of Allied Health and Public Services Janeil Marak said. “Their commitment to dental health and academic excellence is shown through this achievement, and these students are now prepared to serve their communities as Certified Dental Assistants.”
The Dental Assisting class’s achievement follows the success of other programs in WCC’s Allied Health division this year. The 2025 Associate Degree Nursing and Dental Hygiene graduates also achieved a 100% pass rate on the exams required for their licensure.
WCC’s Dental Assisting program offers a diploma and teaches students to assist dentists in providing treatment services. Learn more about the program on WCC’s website.
