Here are some of the ways in which the DSO supports and boosts its more than 5,600 dental assistants:

  • The company recently invested $5 million in compensation and specialized training for its dental assistants.
  • The PDS College Advancement program, which launched in 2022, provides staff including dental assistants with 100% college tuition coverage for an undergraduate degree. The DSO celebrated its first dental assistant graduate from the program last year.
  • The DSO is continuing its support for the PDS Foundation’s Dr. Carolyn Ghazal Dental Assistant Scholarship, which offers financial aid, mentorship, and on-the-job training to dental assisting students in need.
