Elba – Registered Dental Hygienist

I began my career in the dental field as a Dental Assistant. I had the privilege of building trusting relationships with patients and over time my passion for prevention grew. This passion served as the catalyst for wishing to further my education in becoming a Registered Dental Hygienist. In 2010, I realized my dream by earning a degree in Dental Hygiene from Rock Valley College. I thoroughly enjoy providing gentle & thorough dental care while educating and encouraging patients to practice and maintain good oral health habits. Through the love of my career, I feel that I am perfectly positioned to make a substantial contribution to people’s lives within our community. I am looking forward to using my gift with compassion to help you obtain and keep a healthy beautiful smile throughout a lifetime.
