Tempest

Dental Assistant

Tempest wins the office award for having the most dental assisting experience. In her more than 17-year career, she has assisted pediatric dentist and orthodontist. Her experience working with special needs children is phenomenal. She may be the newest addition to Dr. Alvarez’s dental assisting team, but as you can see, she is not inexperienced. You may have seen her and her husband on the weekends at various baseball fields watching her son play baseball.

Antiqua

Antiqua has been working with children for at least eight years, five of them as a pediatric dental assistant. Her favorite part of being a dental assistant is taking children who are apprehensive about the dentist and making the experience an enjoyable one. During Antiqua’s spare time, she enjoys going on mini-vacations with her family.

Rachel

Dental Assistant

Rachel has been a pediatric dental assistant for at least 15 years. Like all of our assistants, she is highly skilled at working with children who have high anxieties. Parents are often surprised by what she is able to accomplish with their young patients. She has become a big part of our team, even though she is a Florida State football fan (we have learned to work around that). During her free time, she likes hanging out with her husband and boys doing outdoor activities.
