Florida Registered Dental Hygienist at Great Smile Dental reviewing radiographs and documenting clinical findings for coordinated treatment planning.
What I'm looking for
At Great Smile Dental, I assess oral and periodontal health, review radiographs and clinical findings, and document abnormalities in electronic patient records. I also communicate clinically relevant findings to dentists to support treatment planning and follow-up care.
I manage a full clinical schedule while maintaining accurate, timely documentation across digital workflows. In daily practice, I use CareStack, Curve Dental, and Dentrix Ascend, and administer local anesthesia within my Florida RDH scope.
At Ricard Family Dentistry, I performed clinical assessments, radiography, periodontal measurements, and therapy while maintaining complete clinical records. I documented signs of dental and periodontal disease and collaborated with dentists on treatment recommendations.
My experience also includes preventive and periodontal care at Brickell Dental and Aesthetics and supporting diagnostic and treatment-planning workflows as an Orthodontic Assistant at Miami Bay Oral Health. I earned a Doctor of Dentistry from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and am a Florida-licensed Registered Dental Hygienist.
