What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dental assistant role where I can support chairside care, take quality x-rays, follow infection control and HIPAA, and help patients feel comfortable—while growing in oral surgery and front office efficiency.

I’m a skilled Dental Assistant trained to support a wide range of dental procedures with a strong focus on patient comfort, safety, and clear communication. I bring hands-on training in dental radiography, chairside assisting, and front office administrative responsibilities.

In oral surgery settings, I help prepare treatment rooms, sterilize instruments, take and develop dental x-rays, and maintain organized patient records using electronic health record systems. I follow strict infection control protocols and protect patient confidentiality in line with HIPAA regulations.

I’m especially effective during complex procedures and patient support—monitoring vital signs during sedation, assisting during root canals and extractions, and instructing patients on post-operative care. As a quick learner, I build trusting relationships with both coworkers and patients, and I’m ready to contribute wherever dependable, detail-driven dental assisting is needed.
