I have spent a lifetime in healthcare and cannot imagine doing anything else, as this is not just a profession, but a passion and a lifestyle in helping others to improve the quality of their lives through oral and systemic health. I am fortunate in that I am able to combine my nursing skills with my periodontal practice as I have always felt that one of the most important things that I can do for my patients is educate them about their health and how to take care of themselves to not only become, but stay healthy. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my 3 grown children, various indoor and outdoor pets including my bees, doing Reiki for the animals at The Rutland Humane Society, horseback riding, and reading.

The Mouth-Body Connection

Oral and Systemic Health

Research has recently proven what dentists have long suspected, that there is a strong connection between Periodontal Disease and many other chronic conditions such as: Periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation of the gum tissue, presence of disease-causing bacteria, and infection below the gum line. Infections and bacteria in the mouth can spread throughout the body and lead to a host of problematic health issues. Therefore, maintaining excellent oral hygiene and reducing the progression of periodontal disease through treatment will have benefits beyond preventing gum disease and bone loss.
