We're new. But we're not just another dental assisting school.
For Maryam Pargal, it all started after losing her third dental assistant within a couple of months…
After talking with other dentists in the area, she found they were having similar experiences and realized a troubling trend:
Dental assistants graduating from nearby schools were not prepared for their roles.
Mrs. Pargal knew something had to change. So, she took action.
Her vision?
A dental school that offers more than basic knowledge – a school that truly prepares you for the realities of the dental field.
