I’m happy to introduce you to Guinevere Juckett, someone I consider a dental assisting superhero.
Guinevere, or Guin as her friends call her, started her dental career in 1990 as an on-the-job-trained dental assistant, and she’s had a passion for dentistry ever since. She is a graduate of the expanded function dental auxiliary (EFDA) program at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and a registered EFDA in Ohio.
