Señorita Diente
Office Mascot

Hi! I’m Señorita Diente, Salem Dental Arts’s mascot! I am a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and I’m a puppy school graduate and certified as a Canine Good Citizen. My idea of dental assisting is getting belly rubs, getting everyone to bring me to New England Dog Biscuit or taking mid-day naps. In my free-time, I love playing fetch and frisbee, dressing up, shopping for myself, eating, instagramming and hanging out with my Cavalier friends. My birthday is in October, and every year, I invite all my cavalier friends to my annual Halloween party! 40+ cavaliers in Halloween costumes, can you imagine anything cuter?? Since I don’t get into Salem Dental Arts that often, feel free to ask about me, see a photo or follow me on Instagram @senoritadiente_the_cav

Fun Fact: Did you know that Senorita Diente means “Miss Tooth” in Spanish?
