Summary

Highly skilled dental hygienist with over 20 years of clinical dental hygiene experience. Some of my personal strengths are: kind bedside manner, emphasis on oral health promotion, highly competent with soft tissue and pain management, and efficient use of time. Over the years, I have worked in various dental offices, where I have gained a broad knowledge of dental assisting, insurance, claims, recall and treatment scheduling, and a general knowledge of all the restorative options for patients. Overall, I have found that being flexible, being positive and having great team communication is key to success in any dental office.
