It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Kayla Barger, a business associate and a valued member of our team.

Kayla will be best remembered for her friendly smile and infectious laughter that would light up the entire practice! In just one year at Gentle Dentist, her team had already come to rely on and appreciate her unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand. Kayla was truly a beautiful rainbow, both inside and out, bringing joy and color to everyone around her.

Please keep our team in your thoughts during this difficult time. We also send our love and support to her wife, Lindsey, and everyone else who loved her. Kayla will forever be a member of the Gentle Dentist family. Her memory will live forever.
