“The best part of my job is working with patients that have dental anxiety or apprehension and successfully navigating them through their appointment while keeping them comfortable and calm. There’s nothing better than hearing a patient leave saying, “That was easy!””

We are so happy to welcome Susan back to our office! She spent the last several years pursuing dental hygiene in a pediatric dental setting, experience that she now brings to patients of all ages at Total Wellness Dentistry. Her gentle demeanor and friendly smile help patients feel like family.
