thrive. If you’d like to learn more about the smiling faces you and your child will see at their next

Damaris, Front Desk
Damaris is a Georgia native with more than a decade of experience in the dental field! Although she
originally studied at the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, she transitioned to the dental field.
Now, she has experience in everything from being a hygiene assistant to an X-ray tech. For her, the best
thing about working at Woodland Pediatric Dentistry is interacting with patients and seeing them smile.
Damaris’ family consists of her mom, dad, younger siblings, and two dogs. As for interests outside
of dentistry, she is still passionate about making cakes – she even sells cakes and desserts on
the weekends! She’s also a Disney fanatic and does her best to visit Disney World every year.
Jennifer, Dental Assistant
With a career in dentistry spanning six years, Jennifer joined our team in 2023. Throughout her time in
the dental field, she’s worked as a hygiene assistant, as a treatment coordinator, and behind the front
desk. Her commitment and talent led to her earning her GDA certification for expanded duties and coronal
polishing as well! Although her training and experience are impressive, what really sets her apart is
her love for building a genuine bond with each individual patient – it’s what she loves most about her
job.
Jennifer’s hometown is Alpharetta, and her family consists of her mom, dad, three siblings, and fur
baby. In her free time, her two favorite things to do are hike and nap!

Outside of work, Teresita comes from a close-knit family consisting of her mom, dad, brother, and

with her friends and family. She values the time she gets to connect with the people she loves and
