Tia Cann
@tiacann
I’m a Registered/Ceritified Dental Assistant who delivers confident orthodontic support and patient-focused care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a versatile Dental Assistant and security professional who brings orthodontic support, patient care, sterilization, and safety enforcement together in one steady, professional workflow. I’m especially strong in fast-paced settings where accuracy, calm communication, and compliance matter.
In my most recent role as a Travel Orthodontic Assistant at Western Dental Orthodontics, I supported braces placement/removal, wire changes, and orthodontic appliance adjustments. I also took X-rays, captured intraoral and extraoral photos, and maintained accurate patient records while preparing treatment rooms and ensuring OSHA compliance.
Alongside my dental work, I’ve built hands-on experience as a Security Officer with roles at Steward Health Care, Obsidian Solutions Group, and MFort Security Services. I patrolled facilities, monitored access points, enforced safety procedures, responded to emergencies, and used surveillance/CCTV monitoring to help maintain secure environments.
I’m also experienced in high-volume operations as an Amazon Fulfillment Associate, where I processed and inspected returns, detected damage and fraud indicators, and verified resalable conditions. With HIPAA/OSHA and infection-control discipline, plus tools like Dentrix, Microsoft Word/Excel, and strong customer communication, I’m ready to contribute reliably from day one.
