We hope you enjoyed getting to know each of our hygienists as much as we did! Keep your eyes peeled for more fun facts about our staff around the office! 🤩

Our last hygienist highlight for National Dental Hygiene month is Ali! 💜🦷

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

At a young age, I had an accident that led to years of going back and forth between the dentist and orthodontist. Through that journey, I realized how much confidence can come from your smile and feeling happy with your teeth. I was especially grateful for my hygienist, who always made me feel comfortable and cared for and I knew I wanted to give that same confidence and kindness to my own patients one day.

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

I love getting to spend time with friends and family whether that’s at home playing games, trying a new restaurant or going on vacation - I love creating memories. My husband and I are also huge movie people so you may find me at the movie theater with popcorn in hand!

Favorite dessert?

Any flavor of icecream but if I had to choose I’d pick mint chocolate chip!

What advice do you give your patients most often?

I often encourage my patients to use an electric toothbrush and to be mindful of their brushing technique. I recommend angling the brush head at a 45-degree angle to gently stimulate the gums while allowing the bristles to clean each tooth from all angles. Electric toothbrushes can be surprisingly affordable and are a great way to ensure the right speed, pressure, and technique for keeping your smile healthy and bright.

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I’m a big F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan and have won 1st place at a themed trivia night!

Thank you for all you do Ali! We greatly appreciate you 😁

Another great hygienist apart of our Innovation family - Kim! 🦷💜

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

I was interested in doing something in healthcare and had seen family members struggle with dental issues which showed me the importance of preventative care and oral health education.

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

I enjoy spending time with my family. I love to travel, especially to beach locations and I’m always up for some live music.

Favorite dessert?

Cheesecake

What advice do you give your patients most often?

Start small and build on those habits. Trying to do a complete overhaul of your habits can be overwhelming. For example, if you don’t floss at all maybe start with once or twice a week and then work your way up to once a day over time. Progress over perfection.

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I was born in Germany and lived there until I was about 12 years old.

Thank you for all you do Kim! We greatly appreciate you 😁

We’re making our way through National Dental Hygiene Month one hygienist at a time! Say hello to Jadeyn! 💜🦷

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

I knew I wanted to do something in the healthcare field and my aunt was a dental hygienist! I shadowed one and knew that I would love it.

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

I love rock climbing with my husband, watching movies, reading books, and spending time with family.

Favorite dessert?

Anything with Oreos!

What advice do you give your patients most often?

I am such an advocate for the waterpik! I have seen so many patients benefit from using it. I also just try to meet patients where they are at with their current oral hygiene routines and help them to improve in simple but effective ways.

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I did competitive dance for 18 years and can still do my splits

Thank you for all you do Jadeyn! We greatly appreciate you 😁

To keep National Dental Hygiene month going - Nicole! 💜🦷

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

I actually grew up dreading the dentist because my teeth are extremely sensitive but I had the opportunity to shadow someone in the dental field and she encouraged me to explore the career. I'm so glad I did because I have absolutely loved being a hygienist!

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

Spending time with family. Especially, outdoors.

Favorite dessert?

I'm not a dessert fan, but love fried foods. That's my weakness.

What advice do you give your patients most often?

I believe, from my years of experience, the waterflosser is the best technique for all to kill the bacteria that causes tooth loss.

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I love watching the Arizona Cardinals, fishing and camping. I'm pretty much a girly girl that has a lot of country in her from Colorado.

Thank you for all you do Nicole! We greatly appreciate you 😁

Next hygienist highlight for National Dental Hygiene month is Rebecca! 💜🦷

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

My hygienist gave me the inspiration as I was deciding on a career change!

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

I love spending time with my teenage son, always a treat! My husband and I also enjoy traveling, hiking, fishing, skiing, playing pickleball and spending time with friends!

Favorite dessert?

Cheesecake

What advice do you give your patients most often?

Be consistent! Everything improves with consistent behaviors. If needed, start with a smaller goal and work your way up to a bigger end goal. Many patients don’t like to floss and I’ll say, start by flossing 3 times a week and then you can work your way to flossing every day!

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I grew up in Michigan but with my first career I moved around the country and have lived in 6 states: Colorado, Utah, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Vermont and Arizona!

Thank you for all you do Rebecca! We greatly appreciate you 😁

Did you know October is National Dental Hygiene Month? We are grateful to have 6 awesome hygienists apart of the Innovation family and want to take the whole month to highlight them individually and share some fun facts that you may not know!

To start us off - Allison 💜🦷

What inspired you to become a hygienist?

I’ve always loved making people smile, so becoming a dental hygienist just felt like the perfect fit! Plus, I figured if I could clean teeth and make someone laugh at the same time, that’s a win-win, right? It's like being a dental superhero, minus the cape—just a toothbrush and a lot of floss!

Outside of work how do you like to spend your free time?

Spending time with my family and fur babies, serving my church community, off-roading, cooking, reading, and traveling the world! I hope to visit all 7 continents and all 50 US states before I am called home.

Favorite dessert?

Banana cream pie

What advice do you give your patients most often?

I always try to highlight the oral/systemic link and do my best to illustrate that to my patients. I encourage them to keep trying to improve their home care routines and remind them I will be here to clean them up and love them when they fall short.

What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I am an amateur race car driver!

Thank you for all you do, Allison! We greatly appreciate you 😁

Did you know your teeth are connected to your whole body?
