Dental Hygienist
Anna
My favorite thing about dentistry is helping patients become healthier and seeing their happy smiles. I love that I can make a substantial difference in the well-being of every person who comes into our office. I first learned about dentistry by taking a vocational two-year dental assisting program at Normandy High School. I later continued my studies at Tri-C Metro to become a dental hygienist.
My advice for patients is to limit acidic and sugary drinks because they will damage your teeth. Also vaping is just as bad as smoking for your teeth.
