Six Hygienists, countless clean smiles 😁🦷
Celebrating our incredible hygiene team this National Dental Hygienist Week—thank you for all that you do!
Aaron Dagenais, RDH
“My favorite part is when the patient has an ‘a ha’ moment and realizes the how and why, and then how to fix it.”
Christine Howell, RDH
“I love the Dental Hygiene profession! I love the educational aspect. For the past 27 yrs I have educated patients with ways to improve oral health. It isn't "just a cleaning", it's improving overall systemic health. Seeing positive results from hygiene treatment is rewarding.”
Ana Contreras, RDH
“My favorite part about being a hygienist is building relationships with my patients and helping them feel more comfortable and confident about going to the dentist.”
Jourdan Collins, RDH
“I truly love what I do. Getting to work with both kids and adults throughout the week keeps every day a little different, but my heart is definitely with my pediatric patients. There’s something so special about helping kids feel comfortable, building their confidence, and teaching them healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
Whether I’m calming little nerves or helping adults improve their oral health, I’m grateful to be part of a profession that makes such a difference in people’s lives.”
Stephanie Miller, RDH
“My favorite thing about dental hygiene is getting to know my patients on a personal level! I truly enjoy people, and I love hearing their stories.”
Diana Hutson, RDH
“I love being able to build relationships with my patients. From getting updates on how they’re doing in life to digging in their health as a whole and how their oral health plays a role in their overall health. I love seeing things click with my patients and seeing them adopt daily habits that advance their health and allow them to have a better quality of life.”
