DENTAL ASSISTANT RESOURES

Welcome Dental Assistant Students!

This guide will help you locate relevant materials for your research on topics in Dental Assisting.  

The Dental Assistant program prepares individuals for the Dental Assistant certification exam. A Dental Assistant may perform basic supportive dental procedures specified by the State of Alabama Dental Practice Act and under the direct supervision of a licensed dentist.

This non-credit, 15-week training program is available on the Jasper Campus only.  Rather than taking multiple courses, Dental Assistant Students meet for 15 weeks, two nights a week, while also enrolled in an externship of 50 hours, and at the end of the semester, they are job-ready!

BSCC's Libraries have a great collection of resources, including books in print and electronic format, and current articles in our databases.  We have also included here a list of excellent websites to help with your research.  All the BSCC librarians are ready to help!  Contact us by phone, send us an e-mail or stop by and see us in person!

  • Under the "Books" tab, you will find physical reference and circulating materials.
  • Under the "Articles" tab, you will find a selection of relevant databases to search for articles from journals, magazines and newspapers.
  • Under the "Websites" tab, you will find a collection of reliable websites for your research.

Beginning on the first day of class, and throughout the semester, currently enrolled students can check out laptops from their campus library.  Laptops are checked out for the entire semester and are required to be returned on the last day of final exams. 

ALL students (new and returning) will need to bring the following required items with them to the Library to check out a laptop: 

  • Current Semester Bill/Statement from Business Office and SIGNED by Business Office – statement must show either a zero ($0) balance or enrollment in the payment plan
  • Current Semester Schedule – maybe printed out in the Library at no cost but it MUST BE A PRINTOUT – Showing screenshots on phones and/or other devices do not fulfill this requirement
  • IDENTIFICATION
    • New students – Current Driver’s License or BSCC ID Card
    • Returning Students – BSCC ID CARD

The College Libraries cannot hold laptops for students
All student laptops are available on a "first-come first-serve" basis ONLY

If you have any questions, please contact your campus library. 

We hope everyone has a great semester!
