It represents a comprehensive examination of the entire dental assisting educational program. Adequate preparation time and careful planning are the keys to success. The NDAEB exam is based on the Domain Description for Dental Assisting. The Domain Description, in the following section below, is the document that reflects the national standards of practice established for dental assisting in Canada. Not all dental assisting educational programs are exactly alike; therefore, it is recommended that the Domain Description and all Appendices in this handbook be used as the main study guide, along with one of the dental assisting textbooks listed as a reference in this handbook. While course notes may be helpful, using them alone will not adequately prepare you for the NDAEB exam. The NDAEB requires that students complete their in-office practicums before attempting to write the NDAEB examination. The experience gained during in-office placements may be advantageous as you prepare to write the examination. Candidates who do not prepare adequately may not be successful on the NDAEB examination.
