Work History
NDX Green
Heber Springs, Arkansas
11.2022 - 06.2025
- Completed day-to-day duties accurately and efficiently. I traveled to dental offices for the lab to custom stain crowns to match the patients' existing teeth. I also helped the dentist with other assistants if needed. I started in dentistry in 1984. I was an assistant for 25 years, and the dentist asked me if I would work in the front to help with insurance, answer phones, coordinate treatment, and manage the schedule.
- I worked for a podiatrist for five years, but went back to dentistry. I drew the injections for the doctor, made the different pads they needed for different problems, helped with the casts to make orthotics, and took the x-rays needed.
- I also worked for an ophthalmologist for one year doing the books, but I got pregnant, and they laid me off so I could stay home with my baby.
- I went back to dental. I assisted at the front desk and did anything that needed to be done.
