Position:  Dental Assistant

Number of years at TLC:  1

The most satisfying aspect of my job is:  "Helping people gain confidence from their new and improved smiles.  Many patients go without smiling for years because they don’t like their teeth.  It’s heart warming to see them smile and cry tears of joy after they see their new smile."

The most challenging aspect of my job is:  "Learning what is needed in the patient’s room.  Since Dentistry With TLC offers so many services, we have a lot of different supplies to remember.  I work with a great group of people who will add something to the room if it is missing.  We work as a team at Dentistry With TLC."

Something I wish everyone knew about Dentistry With TLC is:  “Dentistry is always advancing.  It has changed greatly since your parent days, and even since you were a child.  With all the new technology available today, dentistry is quicker and more relaxed."

How do you think Dentistry With TLC is different from other dental offices?  “Dentistry With TLC offers more service than most, and we usually don’t have to refer patients to other offices.  Dentistry With TLC has great hours available for all patients.  Most times you can get all of your work completed in one day if you would like.”

What is the funniest thing that has happened at Dentistry With TLC?  “There is a window in one of the patient rooms about the size of a wall mirror.  I giggle a little when when I see patients stop in front of it to check their hair or new smile.  Sometimes it takes a few seconds before they realize it isn’t a mirror.  I may have done the same thing myself.”

What advice would you give a person looking for a dentist?  “Do a little research before you choose a dentist.  Ask friends and family for recommendations.  Be sure to look at their teeth to see the quality of dental work.  You don’t want to go to the dentist of someone who’s dental work is poor.  Also, research the dentist online learn their qualifications and services they offer.”
