🦷Dental Hygiene Week Spotlight: Get to Know our Hygienist !✨
Lupe has been a dedicated dental hygienist for 18 years, bringing experience, compassion, and consistency to every patient she serves.
Outside the office, her life is full and family-centered, her husband and their two boys keep her constantly on the go. Faith plays a big role in her life, as she enjoys attending Mass and teaching CCD, while also staying actively involved with her nieces, nephews, and Godchildren.
In her rare moments of free time, Lupe loves relaxing with college softball games 🥎 and getting lost in a good book 📕.
We're getting a little more personal with this one 👇🏼

3 🪥What's a small win at work that always makes your day?
A small win that makes my day is when I see a patient that enjoys coming to see me and remembers my name!😌
4🪥How do you make nervous patients feel comfortable?
I focus on communication explaining everything before I do it, checking in often, and going at their pace. Sometimes just listening and being calm makes all the difference.

What keeps me motivated is knowing every patient trusts me to get that plaque and calculus outta there!
6🪥Fun question: What's something people would never guess about you?
