Gerardo Reynaga Gonzalez is a bilingual (English and Spanish) Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP), CEO, and founder at Amazing Smile, Inc. Gerardo began his dental career as a dental assistant. He has been a practicing Registered Dental Hygienist for over ten years. After nearly two decades of working in the dental field, he recognized the need to provide dental services to patients who lack mobility. Gerardo is also certified by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners.
He then enrolled in a Registered Dental Hygiene in Alternative Practice at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, California, to help homebound patients. Upon completing the program, he has a better understanding that a mobile Hygienist reduces the anxiety and the disruption of the patients’ daily routines by bringing dental services to their familiar settings.
