During my time as a dental assistant, I perfected taking x-rays on patients when it was needed. I assisted the doctor with restorative procedures including fillings, pulpotomy, stainless steel crowns, and extractions. I also performed 4 handed dentistry to be more proficient in restorative treatments. After a year at this office, I was promoted to be an Office Manager. I held morning huddles to review the day's patients and to review our goals for the day and how we can obtain them. With this position, I obtained the ability to handle pressure, conflict, and team management. I worked closely with insurance where I would verify the patient's insurance benefits and would send claims to insurance. I managed the social media pages for our company, as well as wrote blogs for our website. I also consistently gained positive evaluations from my superiors throughout my transitions. Show less

This is where my two hands and the doctor’s two hands flow as one cohesive hand. I had the next instruments ready for him to grab and continue his work. This can increase productivity and get treatments finished more efficiently. I also perfected my skills in taking impressions and pouring models for whitening trays and clear retainers. Impressions can also be used to fit crowns and bridges. Another part of my job was to capture x-rays on patients before their teeth cleaning, or during restorative treatments. Show less
