ADTEP Instructor Sadi Saenz, DMD

I grew up in Arizona and started my dental career as a hygienist, practicing for four years before continuing my education to become a dentist. For the past three years, I’ve worked at YKHC, where I’ve gained valuable experience in both preventive care and clinical dentistry while serving rural and underserved communities. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how important dental therapists are in expanding access to care. That’s why I believe so strongly in the work dental therapists do, and why I’m honored to help train the next generation of providers. I look forward to supporting ADTEP students as they build their skills, grow their confidence, and make a real difference in the communities they serve.
