Terry Patrick

My name is Mrs. Terry Patrick, and I have been serving as a registered dental hygienist for 23+ yrs. I have been honored to serve the great men and women of the armed forces as well as the public. Through my years of practice, I've realized that there is nothing more rewarding than serving others. As a healthcare provider, it is my duty to go beyond the call and help my patients to achieve optimal oral health. To eliminate harmful oral bacteria that causes oral abnormalities & diseases. To educate, motivate and counsel my patients about the risks that lead to the diseases and abnormalities of the oral cavity. I am self-sufficient, adaptive, composed under pressure, self-starter, and a fast learner. I wholeheartedly believe in preventive care and value the importance of teamwork to achieve a common goal. I am skilled in detecting and managing periodontal disease, scaling and root planing, and soft tissue management. I stay conversant and knowledgeable about the rapid changes in dentistry today via CEU's, Networking & Volunteering. I am well versed in multiple Dental Software, X-ray Software, and Communication Software as well as Dental Machinery & Materials.

I was officially commended for outstanding service during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2014. My performance as a dental hygienist ensured the Going First Class System functioned effectively resulting in being recognized by DENCOM as the highest-producing hygienist for October 2013 & November 2013. Ensured the Going First Class initiative was a successful and productive visit for every soldier treated and awarded a certificate of appreciation for outstanding performance as the most productive and proficient Registered Dental Hygienist in the United States Army Dental Command for August 2013.
