About Us


CADA is owned and operated by Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics and was founded when we noticed there was a need for dental assistants with hands-on experience. Our goal is to provide a supportive and engaging learning environment for everyone. Our students get access to more resources than other dental assisting programs and exposure to multiple specialties including orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and more!
When you graduate, your resume will reflect a higher quality of knowledge and competency because of the skills you acquire through the clinical experience provided at Cumberland Academy of Dental Assisting.
