Coronal Polishing, Embedded TCC

The Coronal Polishing technical certificate of credit prepares graduates to perform the coronal polishing procedure as prescribed by Georgia Board of Dentistry. This procedure is limited to pediatric patients up to age twelve. Additional topics will include principles of coronal polishing including, but not limited to: armamentarium; proper clinician positioning and ergonomics, preferred polishing technique using a stable fulcrum, abrasive polishing agents commonly used in coronal polishing using a slow speed handpiece, indications for professionally applied topical fluoride agents for caries prevention and fluoride delivery methods.

Embedded TCCs are certificates that students can earn while in a degree, diploma, or longer TCC program. Students cannot directly enroll into an embedded TCC program. Students wishing to pursue dental assisting as a career should consider the Dental Assisting Diploma [DA12] program.
