Heidi

Heidi has been a Dental Hygienist for 28 years and has been employed with Always Great Smiles for 20 years. She enjoys working with people of all ages. The best part of her job is when a patient comes back to the next re-care appointment and their periodontia is healthier because they trusted her and her knowledge of dental health. She educates them about dental health and then the lets the patient decide if they want to improve their dental health on their own. 

Heidi loves that over time she has become friends with her patients and looks forward to seeing them and their families. She likes to treat them like she would want to be treated, with respect. She says if she could change her career as a hygienist, she would not. She would choose to be a hygienist all over again and loves it!
