Some programs promise opportunity. This one delivers it—chairside.
L’Chelle Johnson’s path to becoming a certified dental assistant started with a simple application and ended with a lasting career inside a Fort Riley clinic. In this short video, she shares how the American Red Cross Dental Assistant Training Program didn’t just teach her dental skills—it trained her for real-world, real-patient experience in Army healthcare.
From endodontics to implants, L’Chelle gained hands-on confidence in specialties many only read about. Her advice? If you’re ready to build a skill that moves with you, don’t wait to apply. The deadline has been extended—but the opportunity won’t wait forever.
