“The Creative Dental Connections Speed Networking Event was awesome! This was my second time attending and each event gets better and better. I was able to connect with a variety of dental and medical professionals on all levels. I especially appreciated the open environment to share common experiences, laugh, and enjoy the company of great people. I also learned a lot from the CE course given by RDH Danni Gomes.

“I highly recommend Creative Dental Connections LLC  for your CPR training class. The instructor Danni Gomes is warm and welcoming. She makes the class fun and interesting and provides all materials needed to learn adequately current CPR protocols. The class is adjusted to teach dental health professionals with examples of emergencies that could happen in a dental setting. And the best part along with your CPR course completion card, you also get 4.5 CE credits! Pretty awesome for a quick and fun learning experience.”

“On ‘Bring a Graduate to Work Day’ I had the pleasure of introducing Ms. Rebecca Rosario- NYU Dental Hygiene Class of 2017-to the administrative side of academia. As a full-time dental hygiene faculty at Hostos Community College, students are unaware of the voluminous administrative work faculty are engaged in. Ms. Rosario and I discussed her career goals. I offered her my assistance for her future plans.
This was a wonderful event for a seasoned dental hygienist like myself and a recent graduate. Looking forward to participating in next year’s event. “

Julie Bencosme, RDH April 1, 2018

“My office has been using Creative Dental Connections LLC and Ms. Gomes for the last 3yrs. Her course is extremely thorough, and efficient . There is a lot of hands on practice and everyone walks away confident to handle a emergency afterwards. This year we added her service of reviewing the contents and use of the medical emergency kit. That training was excellent and we will start doing it annually with Creative Dental Connections LLC. “

“My experience shadowing Dorrie was amazing. She was so patient and she made sure to answer all the questions I had. She gave me great and valuable advice. Her office had new technology I hadn’t been exposed to, so it was a great learning experience for me. Her co-workers were all very welcoming.
Thank you so much Professor Gomes for creating this program, it was an amazing opportunity for me to observe what is expected of a dental hygienist in private practice. “
