Who should be contacted for questions about national certification?

• A. DANB
• B. ADA
• C. Iowa Dental Board
• D. CDC

Answer: (A)

National certification for dental assistants is issued and administered by the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB). If you have questions about achieving, maintaining, or renewing national certification, DANB is the right point of contact because they handle the credentialing process, eligibility requirements, and exam details. The American Dental Association (ADA) is a professional association that provides resources and guidance but does not issue national certifications. The Iowa Dental Board regulates state licensure and practice within Iowa, not national credentials. The CDC focuses on public health and infection control guidelines, not certification. So for questions about national certification, reach out to DANB.
