Certified Dental Assistant:  At this office I began my career as a dental assistant. There was only one dentist at this facility and no hygienist, hence it was not a big office. It was a fast pace office, so for me it was a good place to start at. I learned to work quickly and neatly at this office. My duties at this office included:

• Greeted patients and prepared them for procedures.
• Prepared operatory room and tray set up for dental procedures.
• Responsible for cleanliness of operatory room and sterilization of instruments using autoclave.
• Assisted dentist in restorative dental procedures.
• Exposed, developed, and mounted film radiographs.
