I translated complex clinical and oral-health information into clear, patient-friendly explanations, adapting communication to individual health literacy needs. I applied clinical judgment to evaluate patient health histories, periodontal findings, radiographs, and risk factors and determine appropriate preventive-care recommendations. I communicated clinical findings and recommendations accurately through detailed documentation and collaboration with dentists and other members of the healthcare team.
I also performed clinical procedures necessary in prevention, treatment and maintenance of periodontal health in my patients.
