years ago. Away from work, she enjoys spending time in the kitchen and the great outdoors. Her biggest loves are her rescue pets: a goldendoodle named Phoebe and a cat named Finnegan. Janae has been in dentistry for 11 years and reports that she still gets great joy from helping patients feel confident in their smiles. Her husband, Steve, runs an auto body shop, and their three kids ensure the family is always on the go. They have Mac (7), Drew (5), and Violet (3), who just began her first year of preschool! Lauren has been in dentistry for 15 years and began working with me shortly after receiving her associate’s degree 10 years ago. She and Janae attended expanded functions dental assistant (EFDA) school together in 2016. Lauren
is also the proud mom of Walter, who was born in January! The baby keeps her busy, but she still loves spending time with her two dogs and can often be found exploring the aisles at Costco. I’ve frequently heard feedback from new patients that they’re not always used to seeing the same hygienist. At their previous dental practice, the person performing their cleaning was anyone’s guess. But I think it’s essential for our patients to know whom they’re seeing and build comfort and consistency. Of course, things happen, so you may occasionally see a different hygienist than usual. But the longevity of each hygienist on our staff ensures they know each other well. If they have a sick kid at home, they can feel confident leaving their patients in someone else’s care. Each hygienist also understands how the others work so they can provide continuity during every visit. Meanwhile, Taylor, Janae, and Lauren’s level of dedication consistently impresses me. All hygienists must take continuing education courses to stay on top of their game, but these three do far more than the bare minimum. While they could take the easiest classes, they constantly seek out challenges and attend more seminars than their peers at other offices. It’s a testament to their dedication and professionalism; they all understand that the more they know, the better they can help their patients. Dental hygienists are an invaluable part of our team, and we literally couldn’t do this work without them. So, when you come in for your next routine appointment, I hope you know you’re getting more than “just” a cleaning. The person who makes your teeth feel clean and fresh is one of the most crucial factors in your oral health.
