Work History

Registered Dental Hygienist

Dimitri T Tsoukalas DDS
01.1986 - Current

I’ve worked with Dr Tsoukalas for the past 39+ yrs. We have perfected our dental hygiene appointment over the years by allowing 1-1/2hr appointments consisting of comprehensive or recare exam after reviewing Pt’s medical history, blood pressure and pre-op rinse. Will take appropriate x-rays and will be reviewed and plan treatment prior to the teeth being cleaned.

Over the years, I’ve crossed over to assist the doctor or tackle front desk duties.

Skills
