Experience

• 

  Dental Cosmetic Center of Piscataway

  Jan 2017 - May 2017

  Student to Professional Internship Network (SPIN)

  Here I had the chance of observing a General Dentist and what they go through on a daily basis. I learned about the different procedures that are performed. Some of the procedures that I now have a better understanding of are cavity fillings, PFM crown procedures, and root canals. At times, I helped to clean up the rooms after each patient and set up for the next patient as according to the schedule.
