Position:  Dental Assistant

Number of years at TLC: 14

The most satisfying aspect of my job is: “Seeing how changing a person's smile can change their lives, their confidence, self-esteem, etc. It's an amazing transformation.”

The funniest thing that’s ever happened at Dentistry With TLC: "I love working on the little kids. It's always fun watching their reactions when they get numb for the first time."

The most challenging aspect of my job is: "Getting patients to understand the importance of good oral hygiene and how it can affect their entire body."

Something I wish everyone knew about dentistry is: "I wish people knew what a caring and dedicated staff we have. We have the latest dental technology and I hear people say everyday that it was the best experience they've ever had at a dentist. We strive to make our patients feel relaxed and comfortable."

What advice would you give a person looking for a dentist: "My advise would be to find an office that you feel comfortable with, a staff that cares, and a dentist who treats you like family."

How do you think Dentistry With TLC is different from other dental offices? “We differ in the way we go above and beyond to make our patients as comfortable as possible while they are here. I’ve never been to any kind of medical office where they offer cold drinks, magazines, music, blankets and movies like we do. Also, our doctors and staff are trained in the latest dental procedures, and we use all the latest technology. It all adds up to a pleasant dental experience.”

What was your favorite thing about the Christmas Party? “Scott, who is the quiet, serious type at work surprised us all with his funny performance with his dancing wooded puppet. I was also really impressed with Dr. Parker’s talent on the guitar. If he ever decides to retire from dentistry, we might see him on MTV.”

What was your talent at the Talent Show? “I sang Jingle Bells (and poorly I may add) with Tom, Crystal and Joyce.”
