Dear Human Resources,

It is exciting to be writing to you regarding the open Dental Therapist/Advance Dental Therapist position with Smiles Brands which I heard about through the Indeed employment website.

As a graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, I have been fortunate to receive a thorough and enriching education. Since graduating, my experiences working as a Dental Therapist at Lake Superior Community Health Center, People’s Center Clinics and Services, Chicago Lake Family Dental and Dental Associates of St. Paul has strengthened my skills in dental procedures and confidence in the process of patient care. I love the profession of dentistry; especially working with low-income populations in our underserved communities-the satisfaction that comes from helping people obtain better health daily is, of course, rewarding. I pride myself on bringing the right measure of enthusiasm and professionalism into all that I do. 

Attached is my resume which will show my progressive career growth and experiences. I am Hmong and am bilingual with an extensive history of working in diverse communities (especially in underserved communities) and have demonstrated the skills and resourcefulness needed to form lasting partnerships within both the public and private sectors. This combined expertise will allow me to be an immediate asset for Smiles Brands as it moves forward to obtaining your goals.

Again, thank you and allow me to confirm my interest in the Dental Therapist/Advance Dental Therapist position that your dental clinic is looking to fill.  At the convenience of your schedule, I would appreciate an opportunity to meet to discuss my qualifications. Email contact is easiest, since it can be difficult to get to the phone. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, 

Raymond Meng Vang, MDT
