Summary

Although I have been away from the dental field for the past five years, I bring prior experience as a dental assistant with a strong foundation in patient care, clinical procedure support, and efficient clinic operations. I am well-versed in infection control protocols and sterilization techniques, ensuring a safe and compliant environment. I am confident that, with updated training, I can quickly re-acclimate and become a highly skilled and effective dental assistant once again.
