Brittany Ashenfelter — A dental assistant you should know
ADAA
Dentistry has been a huge factor in my life since I was a small child, said Brittany Ashenfelter. I have several family members that are in the dental field and dentistry was the topic of conversation at many family gatherings. This struck a chord deep within and I knew that I found my career pathway. After attending a dental assisting course at Lake Land College in Illinois, I became an expanded functions dental assistant, a certified dental assistant and a licensed dental hygienist in Indiana. Recently, I completed a bachelor's degree in public health dental hygiene. "An important lesson I've learned over the years is that you can never have enough education," she said. "The dental field is always evolving and if you stop learning you are not as viable in the office or knowledgeable for the patients and the dental team."More
