Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay is creating a new program to train a new position in dental practices, according to a March 28 report by NBC26.
The position, expanded function dental auxiliary, or EFDA, holds more responsibilities than a dental assistant.
By adding EDFAs, dental practices will be able to treat more patients, potentially alleviating schedule backlogs.
Enrollment in the program will start this fall, the report said.
