Week 8 already :)

The mid-term went perfect 100% on both the written and practical!!! HOORAY!!!

I can not believe how far we have come and that our externships are starting... eek! We have learned so much even from just two weeks ago. Assisting skills like suctioning with the HVE, passing instruments (goodness so many to know), mixing bases, liners, cements, assisting with the amalgam and composite restorations, placing of matrix bands, bleaching trays, and much more. Next week is crown and bridges, we get to learn how to do a temporary! So excited for this as well as friends and family day :) This is the time we get to show off our skills! Time is flying by and I'm loving every minute and absorbing so much. It's sad to think time is almost over...

Everyone have a wonderful weekend, I can't wait for class tomorrow and to finish my bleaching tray!!

The CSDA was founded in April 2001, with our first session in July of 2001. We are celebrating the 10th Year Anniversary with a Homecoming Reunion on April 8, 2011. The Reunion is for all past students/alumni. We will be serving drinks and appetizers and hope many of you can make it to share your experience thus far with former classmates. Unfortunately, we only have room for 100 people. Past students should be receiving invites online from Pingg.com. If you are a past student and did not receive an invitation, and would like to attend, call Amady at 800-383-3408. Hope to see you there!

Mid-term is approaching!

School is going amazing! I can't believe we are almost to our half way mark. Mid-term is this saturday and we all can't wait to see what is in store. We have learned so much already in such a short time. Charting, coronal polishing, pain and anxiety control, full mouth x-ray's, sealants, rubber dams, impressions and so much more!!! I absolutely love that everything has been immediately hands-on experience. Our instructors are always right there to help if we have questions or assistance. They have provided such great information about real life scenerios and how it really is in the office :) We still have a lot of learning and I couldn't be more excited to do just that!

looooove CSDA!

Hey everyone! My name is Brooke Kroshus I recently started at CSDA Jan.29Th. I absolutely LOVE it! The teachers are amazing!! Yesterday was our 4Th class (one night got cancelled due to bad weather) and we got right into everything. Impressions, pours, sealants, dental dams, polishings. It was awesome! I am so excited for our next class. The teachers help you so much and make sure that you know exactly what is going on and if you don't then they are there to help you. I am super glad that I decided to attend CSDA. I have met some really amazing girls, the class is small which I think is a very good thing, you get to know everyone and get the attention you need from your teachers. Ill let you know how Thursday night goes , 2ND quiz wish me luck ! :)

Ok we have started school and its going GREAT....I love the instructors as well as the other students. I am go glad I choose this program.

EDDA Course

Well, after deliberating for about 8 years, the CSDA has finally decided to offer an EDDA course. The course has been approved by the Colorado Board of Education, and will start this Spring, 2011. The EDDA course will consist of 4 Saturdays at our Broomfield location, and will cover placing permanent restorations, sealants, final impressions and provisional restorations. Prospective students of this program will have to have worked for one year as a dental assistant to be admitted.

We are very excited about this new course! Check back for more updates, and to see what our students are saying.

Almost Over

So we are finally down to the final two weeks of class! I'm very excited to get out into the dental field and start applying what we have learned, I have the up most confidence in our classes ability to go out there and find great jobs.
Joyce and Judy are the best teachers that we could have ever asked for, they are always willing to go that extra mile to help us. I would definitely recommend this program to friends and family.
