Summary
Working as a dental assistant has taught me how much good patient care and communication can change someone’s experience in the chair. I want to keep growing in this field by becoming a Dental Hygienist, someone who provides quality care and takes the time to educate patients based on their unique needs, helping them build healthy habits for life.
