Christy, LDH

Meet Christy, a licensed dental hygienist and a familiar face at Compassionate Dentistry. A graduate of Taylor High School, she earned her degree in dental hygiene from Indiana University South Bend after spending several years working in dental assisting, which gave her a practical foundation for every appointment she now handles. Since joining Dr. Boltz's office, Christy has helped countless patients of all ages feel at ease in the dental chair.

What patients tend to remember about Christy is how gently she works. Preventive care can feel unfamiliar, especially for young children or anyone who has had uncomfortable experiences elsewhere, so she brings patience and a calm, reassuring manner to each visit. Thoroughness is another part of her approach: she takes time to explain what she is doing, why it matters, and how simple habits at home support long-term oral health between appointments.

Education is central to the way this office operates, and Christy plays an important role in it. Hygienists often have the most regular contact with patients, which makes them well suited to answering questions about brushing technique, flossing, and the everyday choices that influence teeth and gums. She shares information in plain language, without pressure or lecture, so patients leave understanding their own oral health and feeling confident about their next appointment.

Beyond the technical side of her work, Christy fits the compassionate, family-focused character of the practice. The team at Compassionate Dentistry is built around ongoing continuing education and consistent excellence, so every hygienist stays current with modern techniques and individualized treatment planning. That commitment shows in the relaxed atmosphere patients describe, the trust they place in the team, and the way the office treats each person's needs as genuinely individual rather than routine.
