hygiene

Dental hygiene is a dynamic and challenging career that offers team work, personal growth, fulfillment and extraordinary benefits, and it is the perfect career for me. Good qualities for a dental hygienist are compassion and enjoying caring for people; two qualities that fit my personality. I love the thought of knowing I can have a positive impact on a person's health. I have worked as a dental assistant the majority of my working years, so I understand what it takes to become a dental hygienist. I have learned through my work experiences the importance of team work, customer service, patient care, and the intricacies of a dental office. I understand the importance of team work in this profession with my colleagues and I have collaborated to improve work flow efficiency while delivering quality patient care. I have worked with a wonderful team of highly skilled professionals that took the time to challenge and encourage me to follow my dream of becoming a dental hygienist.

My desire to enter the field of dentistry has grown as I’ve participated with professional oral health care providers in the field and observed a wide range of procedures. My interest in dentistry began early on as I was involved in orthodontics for three years before ending up with a beautiful smile. I gained a deep appreciation and understanding of what people in need of such services are experiencing, as well as a great respect and admiration for the professionals of that field. Through the practice of dentistry I desire to have a positive supportive impact on the lives of those I serve, just as I have experienced in my own life through my oral healthcare providers. I also desire to be a hard-working, contributing member of the community striving to provide utmost quality care, and I feel that the field of dentistry working in the capacity as a dental hygienist will afford me such opportunities. Having worked with people all my life, there is nothing more I would rather do. The
