Axiom Career College is the only place to take Dental Office Administration in Saskatchewan?! There are dental assistant and dental hygienist programs available in Saskatchewan, but the 3 programs are not the same. DOA is a computer based and administrative diploma; dental assistants and hygienists do have administrative education, but are typically hired to assist dentists in procedures.

​

This program was designed with input from dentists, hygienists, assistants, and dental offices that expressed a need for qualified administrative staff. This program was bore out of the need for quality professionals making graduates highly employable.
