Angel Cordova
Summary
I have practiced for almost 29 years as a RDH. I enjoy establishing rapport and building trusting relationships with my patients. I am passionate about my dental hygiene skills and treatment to each patient individually. I use very non judgmental communication to ease my anxious patients and to educate patients on oral hygiene, nutrition and systemic health. I stay current with all dentally related topics including OSHA, Law and Ethics, and CPR-Basic life support.
