“It’s so rewarding to help someone love their smile, understand why they’re getting cavities and how to floss the right way. It’s also great to teach them how to take care of their dental needs, and make a real difference, especially if it’s their first dental visit.” Jennifer Castanon, Dental Assistant Team Manager
