Re: Application for Dental Assistant
Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to apply for the Dental Assistant position at Bright Smile Dental. I am a registered dental assistant with three years of general dentistry experience.

I prepare treatment rooms, sterilize instruments, take digital X-rays and assist with fillings, crowns and extractions. Patients often tell me I help them feel relaxed during their visit.

I am certified in radiography and CPR, comfortable with Dentrix and Eaglesoft, and focused on infection control and teamwork.

Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to talk about how I can help your team.

Sincerely,
Jane Doe
