Note: Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) national exam applications contain three background information questions that exam candidates are required to answer. Failure to answer the questions will result in the exam application being returned as incomplete. Candidates must submit documentation with his/her completed exam application related to each affirmative response. DANB will review the documentation and make a case-by-case determination, in consultation with legal counsel, as to the candidate’s eligibility to test, earn certification, or recertify. Dependent on specific disclosures made, DANB reserves the right to bring individuals for review under DANB’s Disciplinary Policy & Procedures.
