Introduction

In the past two years of my academic career, though my coursework and hands-on experiences, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience with the dental hygiene process of care. In these four semesters, I have also gained over 500 hours of clinical experience, treated appoximately 50 patients with various oral hygiene, diagnostic, and non-surgical periodontal methodologies.

Beginning my dental hygiene career, I look forward to broadening my clinical experience, enriching my judgement, and working cooperatively with patients, dental professionals, and the public to achieve positive dental health outcomes.
