Kathryn
Dental Hygienist
We are so excited to welcome Kathryn to our Young Dental Care family; she is a great addition to our team!
Kathryn joined Young Dental Care in January 2023. From a young age, she was destined to help others and recognized that oral hygiene was pertinent to the overall health of any person. Thus, this career provided her with an opportunity for both. She graduated from Parkland College in Champaign, Illinois, obtaining a degree in dental hygiene. During the past few years, Kathryn practiced dental hygiene in Illinois and Oklahoma while continuing her education. By keeping current with the latest techniques in pain-free dentistry, local anesthesia and laser therapy, Kathryn knows she can provide her patients with the most comfortable experience and the best dental hygiene care possible. Recently, Kathryn completed her Bachelor’s degree with honors in health communications advancing her ability to advocate for patients.
When not working, you can find Kathryn hiking with her husband, Drake, and their two schnauzers or helping him in the comic book industry. She still has energy and time to devote to other interests, including gardening, making crafts, thrift store shopping, spending time with family and participating in community activities while remaining strong in her faith.
