The Gentle Dentist Collegeville Trappe PA - dental hygientist

Andy

Dental Hygienist
Working closely with our patients, I get to learn about their lives beyond their oral health care needs. We talk with each other and find common ground and interests, developing real relationships with each other. I love that my work brings me into contact with such great people. I perform preventive services and maintenances, triage emergency dental patients, and provide periodontal treatments. During each visit, I talk with patients about their oral health and how to perform proper maintenance at home, to keep their mouths healthy and in an optimal state. Beyond the office, I enjoy the outdoors and you may find me on our local trails and waterways.

Kim

Dental Hygienist
I have come full circle at the Gentle Dentist, I started my dental career here while I was a student at Methacton High School. Practicing Dental Hygiene has given me the opportunity to share my passion for a healthy and active lifestyle and how it can be achieved in the Perkiomen Valley. Living and working in Trappe Borough really fosters that feeling of Community for me. Outside of the office you can find me cheering on my sons’ Hockey games or walking my dog, Kingston.
