Kia Nelson
@kianelson
Dental Assistant (EFDA) delivering upbeat, precise patient care and chairside support.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Customer service oriented Dental Assistant with an upbeat, positive attitude and a strong focus on accuracy and thoroughness. I adapt quickly to new challenges, develop rapport with diverse populations, and stay detail-driven while keeping patient care at the center of everything I do.
Through years of Dental Assistant experience—including chair-side duties and EFDA/EDDA responsibilities—I’ve supported pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients with vital signs, medical/dental histories, treatment preparation, and fourhanded dental techniques during exams and procedures. I’m trusted in front/back office workflows too, including scheduling, answering phones, verifying insurance coverage, entering clinical notes and demographics, and using Dentrix/Eaglesoft to keep documentation complete and organized.
