Just as dentists are required to apply for and receive licensure after completing exams and receiving a diploma before working as a dentist, so must a dental assistant apply for registration to work as a dental assistant in the state of Iowa. All dental assistants must register with the Iowa Dental Board, or apply for dental assistant trainee status prior to working as a dental assistant in Iowa.
