Nicky , Dental Hygienist
"My focus is on providing high quality care to my patients and educating them on how to maintain good oral health. I am committed to making hygiene appointments a comfortable and positive experience. I am here to learn your dental history, listen to your concerns, and plan for a healthy future.
I graduated college with my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene with Magna Cum Laude honors from Herzing University in Minnesota. I am licensed in both states and can administer local anesthetic and provide laser periodontal services to achieve optimal health. I also stay current on new technologies, hygiene products and attend continuing education classes regularly.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We have been having so much fun exploring Arizona. Some of our favorite things are boating, hiking, trying new restaurants and meeting people like YOU! I hope to see you soon!"
