Houma Dental Assistant School

Most people think of dentists when they picture oral healthcare. Yet behind every routine cleaning and filling stands a trained dental assistant, handling everything from patient prep to instrument sterilization. Houma Dental Assistant School offers the training that turns newcomers into those essential team members. Programs cover chairside assisting, radiography, infection control, and dental office administration—skills that translate directly to local clinics and specialty practices.

The school operates from 5683 LA-311, Houma, LA 70360, a stretch of highway where bayou country meets the daily rhythm of healthcare education. Students from Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes often choose the location for its accessibility, avoiding the longer commutes to larger cities. While the curriculum stays focused on hands-on competencies, the setting keeps the experience grounded in the needs of the region’s dental offices.

Anyone curious about enrollment or program details can reach the school at (985) 266-0902. For directions, the map at this link plots the route along LA-311, where the occasional shrimp boat in the distance reminds you this is still very much Houma.
