What does it really mean for a dental assistant to practice at the top of their scope? In this episode, industry leaders explain why certification is more than just another credential and how it can transform careers, improve patient care, and strengthen dental practices. Kevin Henry is joined by Amber Musser of Aspen Dental and Atia Black of the Dental Assisting National Board to discuss the real impact of investing in dental assistant education. They explore how certification builds confidence, creates new career opportunities, improves workflow, and helps dental assistants deliver higher quality patient care. The conversation also highlights how Aspen Dental supports its teams through structured training, study resources, and career development while navigating different state requirements. Whether you are just starting your career or looking to take the next step, this episode offers practical insights into why practicing at the top of your scope benefits both dental assistants and the patients they serve. ——————- Dental assistants play a powerful role in whether patients move forward with treatment.
