September HYGIENE SPOTLIGHT – Dulce Malvais Rosas, RDH

Dulce Malvais Rosas, RDH, spent 3 years as a dental assistant in a pediatric office before going back to school to become a dental hygienist. Upon graduating, she decided she did not want to be tied down to one location, so she chose to join the Aspen Dental team. She has now worked in four cities in her nearly 3 years as a dental hygienist. Rosas also has combined her passion for travel with giving back to those in need. In addition to Aspen’s annual Day of Service, she has participated in the MouthMobile program and the Overseas Outreach mission trip to Trinidad. The MouthMobile program involves a portable dental office traveling the country to provide free dental care to veterans in underserved communities. The Trinidad trip exposed her to patients who, without these outreach missions, might never receive oral healthcare or even education about dental hygiene. She says she looks forward to participating in similar outreaches in the future.
