John has been a registered dental hygienist with us since October 2005. Before joining our team, he graduated from Howard University. Being a dental hygienist allows him to partner with patients in helping them achieve optimal oral health; he knows many patients are nervous about going to the dentist and does his best to make clients as comfortable as possible.

Being able to relate to many different personalities really helps in his field, as he is capable of identifying with anyone!
