To Whom It May Concern:
I am seeking a full time position as a Dental Assistant or Front Office Assistant. I am currently employed
at Perfect Smile Solutions as a dental assistant/ receptionist, I am trying to move to the Tulsa area to
further my education and have more job opportunities. I have recently graduated from Coffeyville
Community College with my Associates in Applied Science and am wishing to further my education in the
near future. In the year of 2010 I graduated from Tri County Technology Center’s Dental Assisting
Program. During the Dental Assisting Program, I did a five month half day Internship five days a week at
Willow Hill Dental Group in Bartlesville.
During my employment at Perfect Smile Solutions and interning, I had the opportunity to assist in several
full mouth extractions, composites, placing temporary crowns and taking over 200 x-rays including
panoramic films. I also had extensive experience sterilizing instruments and disinfecting equipment. I had
the responsibility of ensuring all equipment was ready and the waiting area was clean. I am very
comfortable organizing and filing patient records. I also gained experience in sending out reminder letters
to patients for appointments. Any new procedures and practices that I have not yet experienced will be a
new process for me but I am always willing to learn and gain new experiences. I am a very confident
individual and a very fast learner.
I am a reliable, dependable employee that is looking for more experience. Though at Perfect Smile I have
learned and experienced a lot, I had been employed at Hastings Entertainment for more than 3 years;
while there, I have strengthened my communication skills, customer service skills, and work ethics which
will transfer with me to your office.
I am enclosing my resume. I look forward to discussing my credentials with you at a mutually convenient
time. I can be reached at your convenience on my cell phone at 918-***-****. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Thea L. Edwards
