“As your hygienist you can expect a friendly face that truly cares about you and your oral health. Someone who will have your best interest in mind and will always be truthful and upfront about any recommended procedures.”

Kaitlin was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula. She always wanted a job close to family and friends and be able to serve and give back to the community. While attending Ferris State University Kaitlin was able to choose a location to do an externship. She chose the LVDHC, and from that point on she knew this is where she wanted to work. Following graduation in 2017, she worked in private practice for two years and then was able to return to LVDHC as a full-time dental hygienist.

Kaitlin enjoys educating her patients about the importance of proper oral hygiene and how it relates to overall health. “Being a dental hygienist gives me a chance to change lives for the better. I’m given an opportunity to treat people with empathy and caring to build a foundation of trust. I can help patients become more relaxed in the dental office and my ultimate success is when I have a patient who can’t wait to come back! Not a day goes by on the job that I don’t feel like I’ve helped someone”

Kaitlin is a Registered Dental Hygienist and has her license in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide administration. In her spare time, she enjoys all the outdoor recreation that comes with each season here in the Upper Peninsula. From boating, camping, snowboarding, playing volleyball, and side by siding (just to name a few). She also enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends.
