PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have over seventeen years of experience of chair side assisting, preparing patients to be examined by the dentist,
performing x-rays, sterilizing instruments, setting up exam rooms, ordering supplies and maintaining inventories. I
also meet with patients and/or parents of patients to explain and any issues the dentist may have found, to recommend
corrective treatment.
In addition, I was have been responsible for administrative duties including answering multiple phone lines, scheduling
appointments, verifying insurance, financial counseling with patients and posted payments.
I believe learning both clinical and administration duties helped me fully understand how a
successful dental practice operates.
