About the Commission

The Commission on Ohio Dental Assistant Certification is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a pathway for dental assistants to achieve credentialing in Ohio.

Members of the commission are currently certified through The Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) or The Commission on Ohio Dental Assistant Certification (CODA) or both. Both state and nationally certified assistants volunteer to work with The Commission on Ohio Dental Assistant Certification.

CODA certification is recognized by the Ohio State Dental Board. Acquiring your CODA certification meets the requirements needed to apply to EFDA, Coronal Polishing or Pit & Fissure Sealant programs in Ohio.
