I have worked in the dental field for over 40years. The majority of that time was spent in oral surgery. I worked as an assistant for 18 years before shifting into the practice administration role. I find general dentistry more rewarding because we help patients achieve their dental goals and help them feel good about their smile. The impact this has on a persons life is its reward.
Going to the dentist as a child was always such a great experience. I have always wanted a career where I would be helping others. I felt that the dental field could be both fun and rewarding at the same time. Everyday we have the opportunity to help our patients either feel better and/or look better by fulfilling their dental needs. Dentistry has definitely been the right career choice for me.
My interest in dentistry began at an early age when I went to the dentist. I was curious about all the tools the dentist used. By the time I was in the eighth grade, I had decided to be a dental hygienist. After that nothing distracted me from my goal. Dental hygiene is a profession that suits my personality. The relationship with the patients keeps me encouraged. I wouldnt want to do anything else.
I have been in dentistry for over 25 years and I absolutely love it! Many of those years were spent working chairside as an assistant. To me, helping our patients achieve their dental goals is what it's all about. I am so happy to be back in Jacksonville with my San Marco Dentistry family!
I absolutely love what I do! Being in the dental field for over 13 years has been an amazing journey. It's very rewarding to see patients excited about their new and improved smile. Helping them understand the importance of a healthy mouth is my number one priority.
I have worked as a Dental Hygienist since 2001 and enjoy the relationships I form with my patients. It brings me great joy to provide quality dental care while keeping my patients comfortable during treatment. I strive to educate and encourage so that everyone can have a healthy smile.
