Dental Assistant Cover Letter

The cover letter example below is that of an experienced dental assistant. In the first paragraph, she highlights her eight years of experience as a dental assistant and states that her expertise allows her to provide complete care to her patients. This is a key attribute for dental assistants as dentists rely on them to assume part of their workload. An experienced dental assistant is also critical because she represents the dental practice and so if something happens to go wrong, it would negatively reflect on her supervising dentist and the clinic as a whole. Knowing that these are key considerations, the applicant stressed the fact that she was professional, dependable, considerate and hard-working. She also mentioned her understanding of the relevant regulations and her knowledge of CPR and first-aid techniques. A very strong candidacy overall.
