Radiology for Dentistry Indianapolis, IN

Radiology Requirements + Class

To legally take x-rays in Indiana, a dental assistant must have their Radiology license. Dental Careers Foundation (DCF) can help you complete the three steps required by the state to get your Radiology license:

• 1. You must attend a State Board of Health Dental Radiology program. We are an approved Radiology program.
• 2. A dentist must verify that you are proficient in Radiology by submitting a state form. When you test to our accepted standard, our Dr. will sign and submit the required Certificate of Proficiency on your behalf.
• 3. You must pass the DANB Radiation Health and Safety (RHS) exam (You are not allowed to take the test unless you complete steps 1 + 2.)

Dental Radiology is included in our twelve week program.
