What must a dental assistant have in order to take dental x-rays?

A) a dentist's supervision
B) Certification in radiology
C) An autoclave
D) a three year degree

Technically it's A & B. Depends on your state's laws.

do a search in your state because it depends on them.

For all of them, a dentist needs to be in the office at the time you take the x-ray.

Some states say that you need to be a registered dental assistant and some will say you need to take a test.

You don't need an autoclave or a 3 yr degree.
