Upscale Assessment has benefited my educational and clinical experience in so many aspects. The website is easy to use, well organized, and lets me see my progress in the clinic. Upscale has helped me learn so much as all the feedback given from the instructors is always shown to go back in and reflect on. The organization makes it easy to track grades and progress on patients. I also enjoy the requirement descriptions provided when going to process an instrument or procedure.

Upscale Assessment gives me easy access to my requirements needed and what I have completed. I can access my instructors' notes about my appointments so that I am able to reflect on the events that happened during the appointment. Instructors are able to see your calculus worksheets and your BCR, and dentists are able see your radiograph grading and interpretations, this just allows easier accessibility for everyone.

Pursuing a career in dental hygiene, dental assisting, or dentistry is a rewarding journey, filled with the promise of improving patients' oral health and contributing to overall well-being. However, the path to becoming a skilled dental professional is often accompanied by significant financial challenges. The cost of education, from tuition fees to textbooks and clinical supplies, can be daunting for many students. The Financial Hurdles of Dental Education Dental education programs are known for their rigorous curriculum and hands-on training, which require substantial resources. As a result, students often face a heavy financial burden that can add stress and anxiety to their academic pursuits.
