Hello! As the operating room coordinator, it is my position to interact with all aspects of the hospital cases we see. I work with the parents from start to finish making sure it is a smooth process and answering all the questions and easing there concerns. My position allows for me to interact with all aspects of the dental office. I am one of the first smiling faces you see when you enter our office. My responsibilities include working with parents and insurance companies to make sure the lines of communication flow appropriately. I assist parents by explaining to them all of the financial options available and helping them to receive the full benefits of their plans.

Amelia – Registered Dental Assistant

I love pediatric dentistry because I get to work with children and caring parents. What keeps me fresh and motivates me, is that I know every day brings new opportunities for me to change someone’s life. My days are exciting and challenging in this profession. I enjoy being part of this team because I know the staff always lends a helping hand when I need it. Being an R.D.A. is truly something special. Being able to eliminate discomfort from a little child and being able to hear them say, “Look Mommy! My teeth are sparkling.” is what it is all about.

Natalie – Registered Dental Assistant

Hi. I provide quality dental care for the children of our practice. My educational background has helped me be confident in enthusiastically answering questions that parents might have in regard to their child’s needs. I am in charge of our Sterilization and Instrumentation Program, assuring that everything in the office is clean and safe for patient care. My favorite part of my position is being able to work with our timid, fearful young children. I like to take time to calm them and to make them comfortable as they climb onto our dental chairs. I try to always treat them as I would my own child, offering a big smile and warm concern. I thoroughly enjoy working with the children that have disabilities; it has become a very fulfilling part of my daily life. Being part of this office is a very rewarding experience. It makes me wake up every morning with a smile.

Having the opportunity to help our special needs patients is a job rewarding within itself and definitely pays off seeing their beautiful smile. Being able to offer support and motivation to their dental growth is what being an assistant in a pediatric office is all about. It’s been a blessing working with such talented and caring doctors and assistants who truly push and motivate me to be better each day.
