EFDA Expanded Function · St. Louis, Missouri · Dental Board Approved
Learn Today's Radiation Safety course is a dental board-approved EFDA certification for dental assistants and dental team members in St. Louis, Missouri. This course qualifies dental assistants to independently expose and process dental radiographs — one of the most essential and frequently used expanded function certifications in Missouri. Without this certification, dental assistants in St. Louis dental offices cannot legally take X-rays on their own.
Radiation Safety certification is foundational for any dental assistant pursuing a complete EFDA credential in Missouri. It is also required for dental hygienists as part of Missouri dental board CE renewal requirements. Learn Today delivers this course directly to dental offices throughout St. Louis and the surrounding metro — or dental teams can join a scheduled class near St. Louis. Every student leaves with a board-recognized certification and the documentation needed to update their MO dental assistant permit.
Brook Gibson, RDH, leads this course with 20+ years of clinical experience including extensive radiograph technique and protocol expertise. The curriculum covers radiation biology, the ALARA principle, digital and film techniques, sensor placement, infection control for radiology, and all current Missouri dental board requirements. Small class sizes ensure every student gets hands-on practice and individualized instruction.
