Dear Dr. Pitman:

One of your patients of many years, Mary Tinker, suggested I contact you. She informed me that you were seeking an additional dental hygienist for your growing practice, and she was aware that I am a recent graduate ready to begin my career in the field.

I have interned at a local dentist’s office near school and acquired many skills that will make my learning curve short and my ability to “hit the ground running” a reality. I provided technical assistance and support for the two dentists in this office during dental examinations and procedures, according to established protocols. I prepared instruments and treatment materials, obtained radiographic images and dental impressions, and provided patients with general information and instruction about care. I even helped one or two with their insurance claims.

I have attached my resume, and I am very interested in learning more about this opportunity and exploring a potential fit. I will call you Thursday to discuss the opportunity in more details.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Kaitlyn Mcdonald
