Dear Sir or Madam: I have been a dental assistant for the past 9 years. I started out with a pediatric dentist, who gave me the opportunity to get a feel of the dental industry. As the years passed, I moved on to general practice learning more and developing the ability to have great manual dexterity. My personality has allowed me to work well with others and on my own. I have received many complements from clients, doctors, and co-workers on professionalism and dedication.
58 Job Shadow Since I’ve been very young I have thought orthodontics was way interesting and looked way fun, and at the end of the day you know you’ve helped patients with their mouth or teeth. The day of the job shadow started off with getting to know all of the assistance and getting a feel for the work space. Then I met Doctor Simister who is the orthodontist of the building and talked to him a bit while he showed me some new things. I am very glad I got to have this experience because it has taught me a lot about this job. I learned so many things during this experience like the schooling you have to go through to get the job.
They should have first class clinical skills, good A level grades, one year pre-dental courses and courses must be approved by General Dental Council (GDC). There are some opportunities of being a dentist; you can work in a dental hospital, NHS hospitals or community service. But if you choose to work in a hospital you will probably specialise in specific area of dentistry. Dental Nurses Most dental nurses work in local dental surgeries. Dental nurses will be helping more than 30 patients a day of all ages.
I know that there is so much hard work I have to go through to get to that position though, but I’m already starting it. I have volunteered at the Staten Island University hospital for a year. I worked hard to get good grades into the Medical Program at school. Lucky for me those good grades paid off because I have been a certified medical assistant since I was 16. I am determined to obtain all of the experience and knowledge that it is required to get to where I want to be when I am older.
Dental Assistant The topic that is chosen to be researched is dental assistant. It was chosen because a beautiful smile is what everyone should want. A dental assistant is a person who aids a dentist in the performance of generalized tasks, including chair side aid, clerical work, reception, and some radiography and dental laboratory work (http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/dental+assistant). Two of the types of dental assistants are: Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) and Registered Dental Assistant (RDA). Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) is a person who has successfully completed the education, training, and testing of the Dental Assisting National Examination or of the American Dental Assistants' Association.
I also helped with filing paperwork and distributing mail to employees within the office. My experience with Arizona Jeans Company taught me the importance of being a reliable employee and meeting deadlines on time. I believe that the combination of my computer software abilities, excellent time management skills, and prior office assistant experience would allow me to excel as an employee at Delta Consulting. Enclosed is my resume for your review. Thank you for your time and consideration.
While most people have heard of orthodontics, many are confused by the “dentofacial orthopedics” part of the title. I can explain! Every orthodontist starts out in dental school. Upon completion of dental school, some graduates immediately go into practice as dentists. Others choose to pursue a dental specialty, which requires additional schooling during a two-to three- year residency program.
Memo To: Susan Bright, Instructor From: Sally Wright, Student Date: October 4, 2012 Subject: Reflective Memo on Problem/Analysis Report Introduction This memo will explain the writing process that I used to write my problem/analysis report. My problem/analysis report analyze how several complaints from patients about one of our dental products leaving stains on their tooth colored restorations have lead to additional issues in our dental office. The report was intended to be read by the owner of “Caring Smiles”, Dr. Bill Pauley. I chose to write about this issue because this is an issue that is experience in a lot of dental offices. Discussion The first step in planning that I took was deciding what topic I was going to write about.
A dentist screens the students who have parent permission and teams of dental hygienists and dental assistants place the sealants with portable dental equipment at the schools. Since 1986, over 53,000 Columbus school children have received preventive dental sealants on over 180,000 permanent teeth” (T. Long, para. 3). Another program for mothers and their children is a program called Women Infant and Children (WIC) offers education and counseling, referrals to health professionals, money vouchers toward groceries needed for you and your child.
