In addition, I am cordial, gentle and amiable especially when it comes to child care and patients that are unwilling to cooperate. I believe that my characteristics and experience will be of a great use within your team.

My experience is related to four-handed assisting, teeth whitening and helping orthodontists at the hospital I worked at. In my everyday work I act as professional, ethic and hardworking employee. Also I passed several certifications organized by the American Dental Association, such as certified Dental Assistant (CDA) examination for which I am sending you the Certificate along with my resume in the Attachment.
