Tammy, LDH

Meet Tammy, a licensed dental hygienist whose calm, sunny manner helps patients feel at ease from the moment they settle into the chair. She earned her degree in dental hygiene at Indiana University School of Dentistry and has been part of the practice for many years, returning after time spent at home with her family. That combination of clinical training and lived experience shapes the way she works: unhurried, attentive, and genuinely interested in the people in her care.

Preventive care is the heart of Tammy's work. Routine hygiene visits, careful cleanings, and education about brushing and oral health form the foundation of long-term dental wellbeing, and she approaches each appointment with the kind of thoroughness that builds confidence over time. Rather than rushing through a checklist, she takes time to explain what she finds, answer questions, and help patients understand the next steps in their own care.

Patients often mention the relaxed atmosphere of the office, and Tammy plays an important part in creating it. Her cheerful, caring touch is what allows nervous first-time visitors and younger family members to relax during treatment. She is attentive to individual needs, adjusting her approach for patients who feel anxious, and she takes pride in helping everyone feel comfortable, respected, and well informed while they are in her chair.

Beyond the chairside, Tammy emphasizes ongoing education and prevention, encouraging patients to build habits that support healthy teeth and gums between visits. Staying current with techniques and practices in the field keeps her hygiene care consistent and high quality, and it allows her to offer the kind of guidance that is genuinely useful rather than generic. For families seeking a gentle, trustworthy dental team, her steady presence is a familiar and reassuring part of the experience.
