Expanding Certification Programs DANB's recent launch of new certifications, such as the Radiation Health and Safety exam in Spanish and the Certified in Dental Infection Prevention and Control program, indicates opportunities to offer complementary training solutions and digital education platforms to enhance their certification processes.

Strategic Partnerships Collaborations like the partnership with Aspen Dental and initiatives with OSAP demonstrate DANB’s openness to joint ventures and technology-driven training programs, creating potential for integrated learning management systems, credentialing tools, and infection control technology solutions.

Focus on Workforce Development The introduction of scholarships and educational programs aimed at early-career dental assistants highlights a pathway for offering recruitment solutions, e-learning modules, or professional development software tailored for dental assisting training and career advancement.

Membership and Certification Expansion Recognition by 38 states and accreditation by the NCCA suggest DANB’s leadership in certification standards, providing opportunities for vendors offering digital examination platforms, secure testing solutions, or credential verification systems to partner with DANB.

Digital and Data-Driven Focus DANB's use of advanced tech stack and recent reports like State of the States underline their commitment to data insights and technology, opening opportunities for sales of analytics software, engagement platforms, and CRM tools to optimize their member engagement and reporting processes.
