Jazarie Jones

Completed a comprehensive, hands-on dental assisting program with extensive training in clinical procedures, patient care, and dental office operations across preclinical, laboratory, and real-world settings. Gained over 228 hours of direct clinical experience through rotations in pediatric, general, and specialty practices, including oral surgery, periodontics, and orthodontics. Assisted chairside during a variety of procedures by setting up and breaking down operatories, preparing and organizing instrument trays, maintaining proper instrument transfer, and escorting and positioning patients to ensure comfort and efficiency throughout treatment.

Developed in-depth knowledge of dental materials, including the proper selection, manipulation, mixing, and application of materials such as alginate, composites, sealants, impression materials, and cements. Demonstrated accuracy and attention to detail when preparing materials to meet clinical standards and support successful patient outcomes. Applied strong infection control practices by adhering to OSHA and CDC guidelines, including sterilization of instruments, use of autoclaves, proper disposal of biohazard materials, and thorough disinfection of operatories to maintain a safe and compliant clinical environment.

Built a solid foundation in Clinic and Office Management by performing front office and administrative duties such as scheduling appointments, managing patient records, verifying information, and maintaining organized workflows. Strengthened communication skills through direct interaction with patients, providing clear instructions, answering questions, and ensuring a positive patient experience. Developed the ability to multitask efficiently in fast-paced environments while maintaining professionalism, confidentiality, and attention to detail.

Additionally trained in dental radiology, including proper positioning and safety techniques for capturing diagnostic images, as well as office emergency protocols and nitrous oxide monitoring to support patient safety during procedures. Demonstrated adaptability by working in diverse clinical settings and collaborating with dental teams to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care.

I designed and implemented engaging, age-appropriate lesson plans that incorporated creative activities such as art, music, dramatic play, and outdoor exploration to support children’s overall development. I monitored and assessed children’s behavior, social growth, and physical well-being while maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. Through daily interaction with parents and guardians, I provided updates on children’s progress, behaviors, and any concerns, which strengthened my communication skills and ability to build trust with families. I also offered emotional support to children adjusting to being away from home, helping them feel secure and confident, while encouraging the development of language, motor, and social skills.
