A dental assistant.

There is no official requirement of a degree to be a dental assistant. There are programs designed to learn the skills needed to be a dental assistant.
A dental assistant salary would be the salary the dental assistant is paid. Therefore, it is used to pay the dental assistant for their work in the dental office.
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.
No, you do not have to be a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) before becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). However, some individuals choose to gain experience as a CNA to better understand patient care before pursuing LPN training. LPN programs typically have their own admission requirements, which may vary by institution.
