Each of our dental assistants is registered with the state of Arkansas. They bring professionalism, competence, and friendliness to your dental experience at Criswell Clinic Family Dentistry. They can answer many of your questions before you are introduced to the dentist of your choice. They can address any concerns you may have, or bring them to the attention of the dentist for you if you would find that more comfortable. They will take any necessary x-rays and assist the dentist in his examination and treatment of you. Our dental assistants are also available for phone calls should questions come to mind after your visit.
