I became a Registered Dental Hygienist after graduating from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in 1993. Then I went back to school to receive my B.S. in dental hygiene in 2009. I have been a dental hygienist on the Curless Dental team since 1996. My passion is dental hygiene! I love to educate each patient and educate myself. I especially love the fact that I can provide cutting edge techniques to each patient, bringing their mouths to a great state of health!
I graduated from the dental hygiene program at FVTC in 2001. I was a dental assistant in my father’s dental practice, and joined Curless Dental in 2004. My favorite part of my job is getting to know my patients and their families. It is so much fun to catch up on their lives while caring for their mouths.
I graduated from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in 1993. In 2010 I received my B.A. in business and health management. I was with the team from 1993-1995, then rejoined the Curless Dental in 2000. I enjoy educating patients on what is happening in their mouth and working with them, so they know how to keep their mouths healthy between visits. Preventative care is important to keep little problems from turning into big ones.
I was a dental assistant for seven years before receiving my degree from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist in 1993. I have been a part of the Curless Dental team since 2011. One of the aspects I love about my job is impacting the health of my patients through improving their oral health and teaching them about the oral-health-to-heart connection.
I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in 2005. I’ve spent the majority of my career with Curless Dental. I’ve greatly enjoyed getting to know all the patients! The best part of my day is when I see a healthy and happy mouth return to the office after taking the recommendations that I’ve given.
I’m a 1996 graduate of NWTC’s dental hygiene program and joined the Curless Dental team in 2018. I love helping each patient feel informed and comfortable throughout their visit.
