Sigel, Illinois, United States
I will be a great addition to the team due to being a hardworking, very skilled, outgoing, and well-trained dental hygienist. With two years of working as a dental assistant, I bring a wealth of important experience to the office. I understand the inner workings of a dental office including making appointments and charting confidential patient information in dental software. In addition, I am accustomed to working within the time constraints of dental appointments and assisting the dentist with a variety of procedures. I look forward to using these skills and experiences, along with my dental hygiene skills, to position and contribute to the team. Furthermore, I also grew up on a farm where I had responsibilities from a young age and a strong work ethic was mandatory. As a result, I take my work and responsibilities very seriously and do everything in my power to ensure my work is completed to the highest standards. I pay attention to the small details a patient shares and ask follow up questions to ensure I have a clear understanding of their concerns and implement preventative techniques to maximize their comfort and outcomes. I take great pride in my work and in my community and will continue to care for my community’s oral health care needs.
