Angela

I am one of our dental hygienists, and I spend my day educating patients on good oral health, applying sealants and fluoride, and cleaning teeth. I understand that going to the dentist isn’t most people’s favorite thing, but I really enjoy talking with and getting to know my patients. We’re really a lot of fun! My husband and I have four children and a cocker spaniel. In my free time I like reading, playing tennis, listening to music, and spending time with my family.  I have been called the "crossword and music trivia queen".
