DENTAL RADIATION TECHNICAN EXAM FEE INCREASE

Effective Jan. 1, 2009 the fee charged by the Dental Assisting National Board, for the Delaware Dental Radiological Technology Exam will increase from $70 to $87. The $87 examination fee will be effective from Jan. 1, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2011.

In 2006, Delaware's Division of Public Health (DPH) adopted a computerized Delaware Dental Radiological Technology Exam, offered multiple days a week and at statewide testing sites by the Dental Assisting National Board. The application and other processes for the exam remains unchanged. Individuals wishing to become certified as Dental Radiation Technicians must submit their application form and application fee of $10.00 to DPH's Office of Radiation Control. They will be sent a packet of information with instructions to pay for and schedule their exam. Upon passing the exam, individuals will be mailed a four-year state certificate from the DPH, qualifying them to work as dental radiation technicians.
