Wednesday: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM

Friday: 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Some dates are already booked, and I also have two Clinical Assistant duty days when I cannot see patients.

Please contact me to find out which dates I currently have available and let me know what works best for you. You are more than welcome to ask about a specific date that works for you, and I will do my best to accommodate it if it is available. However, please keep in mind that a specific date is not guaranteed until I am able to confirm that it is still open in my clinic schedule.

I am looking for patients with all different dental, medical, physical, and individual needs. Braces, Invisalign, implants, dentures, partial dentures, crowns, bridges, missing teeth, and other dental work are all welcome.

Patients who may need modifications during treatment are also welcome to contact me. This may include difficulty lying completely back, needing position changes or breaks, previous back or neck surgery, developmental or cognitive needs, or other accommodations. Medical conditions do not automatically prevent you from receiving care.

IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT INFORMATION:

Clinic appointments are 3 hours long because this is a teaching clinic and all of my work must be checked and approved by my professors, who are licensed Registered Dental Hygienists. A dentist is also present to review X-rays and referrals when needed.

Please expect a minimum of TWO appointments to complete your care.

INTERESTED? PLEASE CONTACT ME!

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

I have about three years of experience as a dental assistant, graduated from the BOCES dental assisting program in 2023, and am continuing to work as an assistant while completing Dental Hygiene school. I have experience in general dentistry, oral surgery, periodontal surgery (gum health), and endodontics, and I continue to work closely with licensed dentists while furthering my education.

Dental hygiene is something I have wanted to pursue for years, and I genuinely care about the patients I treat. Whether you regularly see a dentist or have not had a cleaning in years, please do not feel embarrassed to contact me.

I am not here to judge the condition of your teeth, your medical history, how long it has been since your last cleaning, or where you are starting with your oral health. You are not just a requirement for me to graduate. You are my patient, and my goal is for you to feel comfortable, respected, educated, and taken care of while you are with me.

If you or someone you know could benefit from completely free dental hygiene care, please contact me. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to provide your care while I work toward becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist.
