Hygiene Team

Our hygiene team’s focus is on ensuring the long-term oral health of our patients. Specifically, each of our hygienists is adept at assessing patients’ oral health conditions, performing oral cancer screenings as well as head and neck inspections, treating periodontal disease, and administering local anesthetics.

Our dental hygienists make it a priority to stay up-to-date on the latest technology and treatment techniques and providing patients with guidance on oral health care, prevention and nutrition. Each member of our hygiene team prides herself on getting to know her patients and providing dental care on an individual basis.
