What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values patient education and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a registered dental hygienist with a passion for promoting oral health and educating patients about the connection between oral and overall health. My experience spans multiple dental practices, where I have honed my skills in patient assessment, treatment planning, and providing high-quality dental care. I am committed to ensuring that each patient feels comfortable and informed during their visits.

At Dentists of San Jacinto, I have taken on responsibilities such as performing prophylaxis cleanings, periodontal maintenance, and utilizing advanced techniques like laser decontamination. I pride myself on my ability to assess patients' needs and tailor treatment plans that not only address their immediate concerns but also promote long-term health. My bilingual skills in English and Spanish allow me to communicate effectively with a diverse patient population, ensuring that everyone receives the care they deserve.
