In addition to basic hygiene skills, my strength lies with:

* Educating patients on oral hygiene practices and dental health maintenance to empower them to feel capable of maintaining excellent home care.

* Creating a safe and compassionate environment for patient to lessen their anxiety and to promote a strong interpersonal relationship that develops trust and compliance for their optimal dental and personal health.

* Demonstrating a true team mentality where any task is completed to ensure that the flow of the office is maintained to ensure a positive patient experience.

*Collaborating with dentist and office staff to create treatment plans that are based on the optimal needs of each patient.

*Encouraging patients to refer our services to friends and family and to leave a review to help others find a good fit for their dental needs and to promote our offices unique services.

*Sharpening and maintaining hygiene instruments for optimal removal of bacteria, debris and stain and to maximize the life of the instruments.
