Summary

I have worked in the dental field for 10 years which I have been exposed to all aspects of dentistry. I've worked with different types of specialties such as oral surgery, pediatrics, endodontics and general dentistry. As a dental assistant, attention to detail is very important to ensure patient safety and I apply them in my everyday activities such as keeping dental tools and instruments are properly sterilized, recording patient details and keeping all areas clean. I can multitask day to day responsibilities such as preparing examination rooms, taking X-rays, answering phone calls, greet and escort patients, answering insurance and billing questions, and dental care instructions.
