Why the NDAEB Exam Matters 

 The National Dental Assisting Examination Board (NDAEB) certification is a cornerstone of a dental assistant’s career in Canada. Passing this exam is not just a milestone—it’s a requirement for becoming a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA), a credential employers prioritize when hiring. Here’s why the NDAEB is critical: 
 

• Professional Credibility: Certification validates a graduate’s competency in core areas like infection control, radiography, and chairside assisting, ensuring they meet national standards. 
   
• Employment Eligibility: Most dental clinics and provincial regulatory bodies require NDAEB certification for employment, making it essential for career entry. 
   
• Scope of Practice: Certified Dental Assistants (CDAs) are authorized to perform advanced duties, such as taking X-rays and applying fluoride treatments, expanding their role and value in clinical settings. 
   

At CDI College, preparing students to pass the NDAEB exam is embedded into every phase of the program, ensuring graduates are not only exam-ready but also positioned for long-term career success.
