I am licensed as a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Assistant (OMSA) in the state of California. I use this site to share information about general dental and oral health and the business of dentistry that to the best of my knowledge is current and based on the most recent science and best practices. I do not diagnose individual dental and health conditions, and this site it not to be used as a diagnostic tool. For all questions about your personal dental health, please visit a qualified dentist.
