Registered Dental Assisting Butte County ROP/ CTEC

05/18/2026

After all the excitement last week we forgot to mention that 9 of these lovely graduates have found a dental home to work at during the program. Two will be looking for offices to continue their dental assisting careers. One is living in the Butte county area and one is in the Tehama county area. Reach out if you have an opening in your practice.

Be incredibly proud of yourselves and be excited for the bright future ahead. Continue striving toward your goals, keep believing in your potential, and never stop reaching for the future you deserve. The dental profession deeply needs compassionate, determined people just like you.
We believe in you, and we know you will make a profound difference in the lives of your patients.
