✨ Goodbyes are never forever… sometimes they’re just “see you later.” ✨

We are SO excited to welcome back our favorite traveling hygienist, Codi. Her positive energy, gentle touch, and genuine care for every patient make such a difference in our office. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, heard, and truly cared for.

Here are Codi’s questions and answers:

What is your favorite part of being a dental hygienist? My favorite thing about being a hygienist is when my patients understand and follow my advice and in turn, end up feeling better and healthier. I want every visit to be comfortable and enjoyable, but I cannot do it alone. I need my patients to do their part at home, so that we make a good team keeping them healthy and happy.

What is the best piece of dental advice you ever received? The best dental advice I’ve received is to meet your patients where they are. I never intend to lecture or make someone feel bad about their current oral conditions. It starts with one small step in the right direction and builds from there. No matter what you’ve been doing or not doing at home, or how long you’ve been out of the office — it just matters that you’re here now, and we can work together to get you where you need to be.

If you see her around the office, be sure to say hello. We are so lucky to have her back, even if it’s just for a little while! 💫

✨Today we are celebrating our very own Southern Belle… Amanda! ✨

Amanda is coming up on her one year anniversary with our office, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care she brings to our team every single day! From her gentle touch to her attention to detail, she makes every patient feel comfortable and cared for.

When she’s not creating healthy, beautiful smiles, Amanda loves to bake—and just like her work, everything she does is made with a whole lot of heart. 🧁💛

This week, we asked each of our hygienists a fun set of questions—here are Amanda’s answers!

What is your favorite part of being a dental hygienist? My favorite part of being a dental hygienist is both helping patients achieve a healthy & beautiful smile along with creating friendships with my patients. I enjoy teaching them little tips and tricks that they can utilize at home and feel good about their oral health, as well as learning about the patient a person. Hygiene can get monotonous but each patients individual personality adds color to my day!

What is your go-to "guilty pleasure" snack that you tell patients to avoid? As far as a "guilty pleasure snack"... I never say no to some ice cream!

We are so lucky to have her and can’t wait to celebrate many more years ahead!

Let’s show Amanda some love below 👇💬🩵

It’s 🦷✨ National Hygienist Week ✨🦷 and we’re so excited to celebrate the amazing people who keep your smiles healthy and bright!

🩵 Meet our first Hygienist of the Week! 🩵

Vanessa is a vital part of our team, bringing not only exceptional care and expertise but also kindness and compassion to every patient she sees. Whether it’s making you feel comfortable during your visit or helping you build better oral health habits, she truly goes above and beyond every single day.

We asked each of our hygienists different questions this week and here are Vanessa’s:

What is the best piece of dental advice you ever received? Treat every patient as if they were you treating your mother. The best care and compassion goes a long way.

What is your favorite part of being a dental hygienist? I love that most of my patients are like friends and family to me. Work doesn't feel like work most of the time because they make it enjoyable for me.

We are so grateful for the dedication, positivity, and hard work she brings to our office. Be sure to show her some love this week! 🥰

Stay tuned as we continue highlighting more of our incredible hygienists!

Happy World Oral Health Day! 🦷

Today’s topic: brushing & flossing 🪥

Brushing cleans the surfaces of your teeth, but flossing gets where your toothbrush can’t! Skipping either one allows plaque and bacteria to build up, leading to periodontal disease.

Even more important, those bacteria can enter your bloodstream through your gums and may increase your risk of heart disease and other health issues.

A few minutes a day makes all the difference. Brush, floss, and keep your smile, and your body, healthy! 💖

Welcome To Southern Smiles

Southern Smiles Family Dentistry has evolved since it first began serving the Slidell and greater Northshore community 35-years-ago. The original founder Jeanne Reeves, DDS was the first female dentist in Slidell, LA and one of the first in our state! Dr. Jenni Triola is honored to continue the comfortable care and attentiveness provided by Dr. Reeves and her successor Dr. Timothy Pristas.

Dr. Triola was born and raised right here on the Northshore. After graduating from Northshore High School, Dr. Triola went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from LSU and her doctorate from Arizona’s Midwestern University. After starting a successful dental practice in Columbia, South Carolina, she returned to her hometown to raise her family. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Louisiana Dental Association and the Academy of General Dentistry. She has volunteered and traveled with other healthcare professionals on multiple international medical/dental service trips to provide free dental care to those without access.

Dr. Triola presently resides on the Northshore with her husband and daughter and is eager to provide the best dental care to her community.

We’re excited to see you smile!
