I am very knowledgable on this subject as I own and operate www.AndyFutureRDH.com which is the nation's number 1 dental hygiene website.
Dental Hygiene National Board results used to be ranked several years ago, however currently only the fools at the ADA have that information and it is NOT released to the public. The only thing the program directors receive now are their individual school scores. There is no way to find out how the school ranks nationally.
Another great job by the ADA! They continue to do whatever it takes to try to control the hygiene profession.

It is actually the choice of being a certified dental assistant or a REGISTERED dental assistant. The difference in the two, is that if you are a CDA you have taken an exam administered by the DANB (Dental Assisting National Board), and if you are an RDA then you have taken an exam administered by your state dental board. I am an expanded-functions RDA and can get a good job anywhere in the state, but I wish to travel to another state and still be in the career of dental assisting then I would need to get my CDA. :) So in conclusion, it really only matters if you are planning on traveling.
