Community Care College

In 1995, Teresa Knox founded "Dental Directions: The School of Dental Assisting". During its first year of business, Dental Directions graduated twelve students.[1] In 1996, the college initiated application for accreditation with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). By mid-1998, more than 300 students had graduated from the Dental Assistant program. After this initial success, Dental Directions, Inc. began doing business under the name Community Care College (CCC), and ABHES accreditation was granted.
