What made you choose a career in healthcare?
I chose a career in Dental Hygiene because I hated the dentist growing up. It was a scary place and I did not know what was going on. After I became an adult, I came to understand the importance of oral healthcare, and how it can impact our entire lives. I always knew I wanted to make people smile. Dental Hygiene was a perfect way bridge that desire with the desire to make a notable change in people’s lives. I offer treatment in both English and Spanish to increase accessibility and comfortability in the dental chair.

What types of care do you provide and what sets your care apart?
My focus is on preventive dental care. I provide routine dental cleanings, sealants, x-rays, oral cancer screenings, patient education, and nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Patient education is very important to me because education leads to prevention. Not everyone has had the opportunity to be taught about how to properly care for their mouths, or about the impact that oral health care can have on overall systemic health. I am very detail-oriented and strive to provide thorough and meticulous cleanings.

What’s you’re patient care philosophy?
No two patients are the same, which means that no two mouths are the same. Different patients have different goals and circumstances that impact they way that they care for their mouths. My goal is to provide the patient with not just a cleaning, but the tools and knowledge necessary for them to make the best choices for their oral healthcare needs.

What can patients look forward to when they visit you?
My patients can look forward to a welcoming and judgement-free environment where we can collaborate to reach their oral healthcare goals. Please ask all your questions.

Visiting the dentist can be scary, no matter the age. My goal is to make the dental visit smooth and as stress-free as possible.
