Celebrating Smile Heroes: National Dental Hygienist Appreciation Week

Dr. Lucia Covato, DMD, Chief Dental Officer, and Lorenza Hois, PHDHP

As we celebrate National Dental Hygienist Appreciation Week 2024, it's time to shine the spotlight on Lorenza Hois, PHDHP, or as we like to call her: Super Hygienist!

From routine cleanings to educating patients on proper oral hygiene practices, dental hygienists are the frontline warriors in the battle against cavities, gum disease, and other dental maladies. Their expertise goes beyond just cleaning teeth; they are educators, advocates, and compassionate caregivers rolled into one. Think about your last dental visit – chances are it was your dental hygienist who welcomed you with a warm smile, meticulously examined your teeth and gums, and provided valuable insights into maintaining optimal oral health. Their dedication to preventive care not only saves smiles but also helps prevent more serious future dental and medical issues.

To all the dental hygienists out there – and especially Lorenza - thank you for your commitment, your gentle care, and your dedication to keeping our smiles healthy and bright. We are truly grateful for all that you do!
