DANB’s online DARW celebration

From March 1-7, 2015, dental teams across the country will be celebrating Dental Assistants Recognition Week (DARW) to honor the important role that dental assistants play in delivering quality oral healthcare. This year’s DARW theme is "Embracing the Changes of the Profession," which underscores that dental assisting is a growing and ever-evolving profession.

DANB asked certificants and other dental assistants to share how they will be celebrating DARW. We received more than 100 responses! Some of the DARW activities include going out to lunch, baking special treats, getting gift cards or flowers, learning something new, and paying compliments to your fellow dental assistants.

To honor dental assistants and the hard work they do every day, DANB will be sharing special DARW recognition posts on social media during the first week of March. To follow along, visit DANB’s Facebook page, where you can read inspiring posts and share your own photos and stories.
