Our Hygiene Team...
Jackie |
Jackie has worked in this office
for 26 years, 20 of those years as a dental hygienist.
Jackie feels a Hygienist is not just someone who "cleans
teeth" but rather "an educator, a Periodontal
Therapist and a friend." She believes Periodontal
Therapy benefits her patients because it is less stressful
on the patient and the hygienist
and most importantly, her patients are healthier and
happier. Some tips she likes to share with her patients
are to floss, get regular check ups, and get PeriodontalTherapy
if necessary.

Tasha |
For the past 6 years,
Tasha has worked full time as a dental hygienist. In
may, 3 of those 6 years will have been spent at Dr.
Diane D. Romaine & Associates. a tip she would like
to offer her patients is "Floss every day, even
if your gums bleed. Bleeding is an unhealthy sign and
not continuing to floss is the worst thing you can do."
As a hygienist she feels it is not only necessary to
help patients with the prevention of tooth and gum disease,
but also to provide a listening ear for her patients.
Ultrasonic hand pieces have been beneficial to Tasha
because she has more control over the instruments, but
more importantly, her patients are healthier.
|
Lynn |
After working in this
office for over 28 years, Lynn believes a hygienist
is not only someone who performs a multitude of dental
procedures but also someone who educates the patient
on maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Patients don't
realize the systemic ramifications of poor oral hygiene."
She wants to help her patients succeed at taking care
of their teeth and gums at home, whether it is teaching
them to use a water-pick, or showing them how to floss
correctly on a daily basis. Before Periodontal Therapy
became customary Lynn considered retiring from hygiene,
but now she has felt motivated to continue working and
witnessing the successful outcomes of Periodontal Therapy,
which is her favorite part of the job.
