Amy Baird

Expanded Duty Dental Assistant (EDDA)/Clinical Supervisor
Louisville,KY

Summary

I've been in dentistry since May of 1998. I've thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of learning dentistry over the years. It's second nature to me at this point. I've always loved making my patients feel at ease and comfortable while they're there because no one wants to be at the dentist. I love seeing how much more confidence they have after I've helped in create a smile makeover for them. I absolutely LOVE the ordering and managing the budget part of my job. Although I'm very comfortable in this field and very qualified at this job, I'm very open to new opportunities too and would love to have more flexibility. I'm an extremely hard worker and take great pride in my work. I have leadership and supervisor qualifications and adapt to just about anything quickly and feel I would be a great asset to any team or field.
