Hello, I’m Melanie, a seasoned dental hygienist with over 30 years of experience dedicated to promoting oral health and creating beautiful smiles. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with patients, listening to their concerns, and addressing their questions to foster a healthier and happier community.
My journey in dentistry began with a passion for not just treating teeth but understanding the unique stories and concerns of each individual who graced my dental chair. Over the years, I’ve become a steadfast advocate for preventive care and patient education, drawing from the rich tapestry of experiences shared by those I’ve had the pleasure of serving.
In the course of my career, I’ve noticed recurring themes in the questions asked by my patients. It became evident that there was a need to demystify dental care and provide accessible, human-centered information. This realization inspired me to go beyond the conventional role of a dental hygienist and share my wealth of knowledge outside the clinic.
Through my blog, I aim to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the community by offering straightforward answers to common questions. I believe in the power of the human touch, emphasizing the importance of empathy, understanding, and personalized care. My mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their oral health, armed with practical insights and a deeper understanding of the connection between oral health and overall well-being.
