Hello, my name is Damaries Candelario-Soto and I love dentistry! I have great passion for my profession and those I serve. I enjoy educating others about the many benefits of dentistry! Let me show you how you can be a productive team player in the rewarding career of Dental Assisting! Dentistry is such a wonderful profession and I am glad to pass along knowledge and the passion for caring for others”. After many years of being a dentist I have encountered many people who want to join me in the dental field.

At times there has been a shortage of qualified assistants in dental practices. I see the need for good qualified assistants and what their knowledge can contribute to a successful practice. That’s why I have taken the steps to open the, “Dental Assistant School of Atlanta”. My 13 week dental assisting program within the Atlanta area has encompassed my passion and put years of experience to work. Now in addition to my private practice, I operate the school with the entire course completed in just 13 weeks. “Compared to other schools, Dental Assistant School of Atlanta students not only finish in less than half the time, but pay a mere fraction of current tuition fees” in other schools.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics there is a shortage of qualified dental assistants. You can make a difference in people’s health and lives. Most people aren’t familiar with this career choice but according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, Dental Assisting is the third fastest growing occupation for which a college degree isn’t required. And the employment outlook for Dental Assisting is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2020.
