Lori is a graduate of Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, FL and has been working as a dental hygienist for over two decades. She’s mainly responsible for cleaning, taking x-rays, conducting oral cancer exams, monitoring your gum health, providing oral hygiene instructions, and scheduling patient recall appointments. She says one of the most important lessons she carries with her from her training is to always remember that there’s an individual behind that mouth that needs dental treatment. This is why Lori loves getting to know people on a professional and a personal level. When you meet Lori, you’ll find she’s positive, caring, energetic, a self-starter, and a team player. She says working alongside her fellow team members and doctors is a unique experience because of how much everyone deeply cares for patients. Lori says it’s truly remarkable to see so much time, effort, and love that the office gives to every patient. Lori says she feels blessed to be a part of such a caring team. When she’s not in the office, Lori enjoys her time off with her husband and three children at the pool, sailing on Lake Allatoona, and volunteering at local food banks. Lori also loves gardening, running, hiking, and reading.
