Dentist Grant Lemke is reopening a
dental assistants school due to a backlog of students waiting
for training at area tech schools.

HARTLAND - Fifteen years ago, in response to a lack of adequate
training courses for dental assistants, local dentist Grant A. Lemke
founded the Professional Dental Assistant Training school out of his
Hartland practice.
Eventually, area public vocational schools started offering the
training, so after about three years Grant ended his program while
students flocked to courses at places like Waukesha County Technical
College.
This year, Grant will reopen his school at 510 Hartbrook Drive to
address the labor shortage in the dental industry and the impact of
this health care shortage in southeastern Wisconsin.
"Now WCTC’s program is filled up, they have a waiting list
and it’s time to do it again," Grant said. "We’ve been
getting calls from people who say ‘We can’t get in.’"
