Every year, during the first full week of March, the dental community comes together to celebrate Dental Assistant Recognition Week (DARW). This special week is dedicated to recognizing the invaluable contributions of dental assistants who play a crucial role in patient care and the overall efficiency of a dental practice.
Why Dental Assistants Deserve Recognition
Dental assistants are the heart of any dental office. Their responsibilities go far beyond assisting the dentist during procedures. They provide comfort and reassurance to patients, manage administrative tasks, ensure proper sterilization of instruments, and keep the practice running smoothly. Their versatility and dedication contribute significantly to a positive patient experience and the success of the dental team.
Honoring Our Own: Kat, Our Amazing Dental Assistant
Kat is our amazing dental assistant who has been with Solstice Smiles Dental since day one! Kat is a proud D.C. native who has over 20 years of experience as a dental assistant. She always takes pride in helping patients feel great about their smile and overall dental health. Over the years, she has developed a broad knowledge of all aspects of dentistry, allowing her to clearly explain dental procedures in a way that helps patients feel comfortable, confident, and safe.
Outside of her time at the office, Kat enjoys spending time with her husband, kids, and grandkids.
We thank Kat for her excellent work and dedication!
