Jen:

Jen found her love for dentistry in an orthodontist office in 2004 while still in high school and never looked back.  Since that time, she has worked in the general dentistry field and has experience assisting in general dentistry, periodontics, endodontics and implant dentistry.  She earned her CDA in 2017 from the DANB (Dental Assisting National Board) and is currently studying for her EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistant) Certification.  She started at Brar Family Dentistry in 2019 and soon became an integral part of Dr. Brar’s team.   As avid animal-lovers, Jen and her husband Mark spend most of their leisure time alongside their dog, Rusty.  They enjoy new experiences and hope to travel to as many warm places as possible!

Jennifer:
