Through this brief interview, we invite you to learn more about Stephanie and what makes her so passionate about caring for tiny teeth!
Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised on Long Island
From where did you get your degree?
I received my degree from Farmingdale State College in May of 2013.
When did you first decide you wanted to be a hygienist?
I first decided I wanted to be a hygienist in my third year of college, right after a regular check-up visit at the dentist.
When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a nurse or medical doctor as a child.
What is your favorite part about being a hygienist?
Working in a pediatric office, I see many kids who are visiting for the first time and many times are afraid of the dentist. My favorite part about being a hygienist is just changing my patients' minds on how they view dental visits and showing them it could actually be fun. I get to educate the patient on practicing good oral hygiene and hope they continue it as adults. I recently saw a three year old patient who walked in crying because she had a bad experience prior and was afraid of the dentist. My most memorable moment on the job was seeing her walk out with a big smile on her face!
What is the best part about working at the office?
The best part of working at the office is just working with a team. Everyone is so helpful and very team oriented.
What do you do for fun?
I like working out and traveling - which I don't do enough of!
