Clinical Staff
This clinical staff consists of dental hygienists and dental assistants.
Our Dental Hygienists
The hygienists staff is comprised of licensed,
registered dental hygienists who have experience in the field of
between five and twenty-five years. Once employed at our office,
there is little reason to practice elsewhere ... they will tell you
that! Our hygienists primary concern is the prevention of dental
disease and the recognition of caries, soft tissue and head and heck
abnormalities, and periodontal disease. They are all licensed,
experienced, and proficient at dental radiography, an invaluable
tool in the diagnosis and treatment of dental disease. They are all
skilled in the use of the most current technology in their field,
including ultrasonic scaling and placement of anti-bacterial
medicaments, as as well as the more common procedures as scaling and
root planning.
Often times, a patients first clinical experience in our office is their cleaning and exam, and our hygienists pride themselves on creating an experience that builds a lasting relationship and allows a patients' needs to be treated in a comfortable and respectful manner. our hygienists are extremely comfortable with all patients, whether they are two years old or 92 years young. they are all trained in eliciting a useful medical/dental history and are skilled in the important and critical relationship between medical and dental health. They provide an important bridge between the patient and the treating dentist.

certified and licensed in dental radiography. They have experience
ranging from three years to twenty-five years. Their primary role is
to assist the dentist in all their procedures as well as preparing

practice and often times will be actively participating in care
