Congratulations to Andy, a familiar face to us all!! 🥳🧡

Last night, Dr. Thomas and Isaac attended South Florida State College's Dental Hygiene Pinning Ceremony to cheer Andy on as he celebrated this incredible milestone. Andy was honored with the Colgate Student Total Achievement Recognition (STAR) Award, which recognizes exceptional dedication to dental hygiene, enthusiasm for community service, and outstanding compassion in patient care. In addition to serving as class vice president and joining the PTK honor society, Andy contributed to research on the connection between dentistry and cardiovascular disease. He presented his findings at SFSC, the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference (FURC) at UNF, and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) at UT.

Andy’s dedication and perseverance have inspired us all. After spending four years with us as a valued chairside assistant, seeing him now graduate from hygiene school has been truly wonderful.

We are so proud of Andy and can’t wait to welcome him back as a hygienist this June! 🦷
