Laura H., Dental Hygienist

The last thing a patient wants from a visit to the dentist is a lecture from their hygienist. Laura knows this only too well. “My role”, she says, “is to provide dental hygiene services while coaching patients to prevent disease and maintain the health of their mouths and bodies.”

Laura, who worked with us in 2005 before starting hygiene school at Shoreline Community College, has come back to us as an experienced hygienist to take over our hygiene program. Laura grew up in Shoreline, and now lives in Edmonds with her husband and cocker spaniel. You will enjoy getting to know Laura and appreciate her gentle care and knowledge, along with her wonderful sense of humor!

In addition to assisting the doctors chair side; she is in charge of our sterilization program and loves the added fun of helping assist with the Invisalign patients in our practice. Mary explains, “I enjoy the fact that dentistry is always improving and I can keep on top of those changes here, as the doctors put so much value and time in keeping our continuing education on the cutting edge.”

Mary has lived in Lake Stevens her entire life. When she is not working, she enjoys anything that involves snow, traveling, and spending time with her husband. “It’s such a joy to work with all these wonderful people,” she says with a smile.
