MYRA

Registered Dental Hygienist

My purpose as a dental hygienist is to work together with the dentist and with each patient I encounter to help them achieve the best oral health possible. I strive to do this in the most comfortable and caring manner.

I have been in the dental field since the age of 19. I worked full time as a dental assistant for two years before deciding to return to college to study dental hygiene. I earned my Associate in Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene in 1994, and have been practicing full time ever since. I’m happy to say that I still love dentistry after all these years.

I utilize those years of experience, gained knowledge, and yearly continuing education to provide patients with the most comprehensive, pain-free dental care possible.

In my spare time, I can be found hanging out with my husband, James, and our rescue dogs, Birdie and Early. It’s hard to beat a long drive to nowhere or a good cup of coffee!
