Summary
Skilled Dental Hygienist with over 33 years experience in fast-paced, high-volume dental offices. Expert in performing dental examinations, prophylaxis and patient education. Focused on maintaining dental health and preventing disease. Ready to take the next step in my career to contribute to educating Dental students in the art of dental education and cleanings.
I have always wanted to get into education of Dental Hygiene. That is why I returned and finished my Bachelors degree and would still like to finish my Masters. I have filled in at the University of South Dakota a few times in their clinic and had so much satisfaction on teaching something I have such a passion for.
