Dental Hygienist
Hi! My name is Mary and I have been a dental hygienist since 1994. I graduated from Harper College where our training was to provide the highest standard of care possible. One of my greatest passions is to help patients achieve and maintain healthy beautiful smiles that last a lifetime! The past ten years or so, I have placed focus on the link between oral and systemic health: a healthy mouth is a healthier person! Other wonderful aspects of dental hygiene are building long term relationships with patients and staff, helping the most scared patients, teaching patients tricks and tips to maintain optimal oral health, and having good laughs along the way!
Although Chicago is my home town, I have lived in Arlington Heights the longest -25 years. I enjoy the outdoors, walking, reading, serving in a prison ministry (grading Bible Study essays) and spending time with family and friends.
