Assistant Office

Profile

I have over * years of experience as a dental assistant in a GP and

Pediatric/Orthodontic office. I truly love my profession, and I feel

that I contribute a lot the success of the office. I enjoy helping the

office run smoothly, contributing to the dentist's ability to

effectively treat his patients, but most of all value the role that I

can play in helping patients have an easier time while undergoing

various treatments. I have an easygoing personality, am a team

player, love challenges and I am a quick learner.

I left the dental field to start a family in 1997, and while I have

been out of the office setting for some time, I feel that my past

skills were very strong and I look forward returning to dental

assisting. I appreciate that the field of dentistry has changed a

great deal since I left the workplace. Therefore, I have completed

multiple dental assisting refresher courses and I am studying for the

RDA exam in November.
