I'm originally from Redding, California. I've moved around often and found myself living in Alaska and Oregon prior to Texas. I've attended over 20 schools throughout my academic career. I was salutitorian of my graduating class at Big Valley High School in Bieber, CA. I moved on to Shasta College in Redding, CA where I graduated with an AA degree in both allied health and natural science. I continued on to obtain my Associates degree in Dental Hygiene in 2018 from the same college.

I've been working as a dental hygienist for over 3 years. During my 2nd year of hygiene school, I was one amongst a group of hygiene students and hygienists who provided dental cleanings to residents in both Guatemala and Mexico.

What I love most about dental hygiene is meeting a variety of people and the connection I achieve with each and every one. When I meet someone new in the dental chair, we become a team. I will do everything I can to help you achieve the smile you strive for.

Fun facts about me, I'm a big Disney fan and I have 3 dogs, a weenie/poodle mix named Princess Tiana, a weenie/terrier mix named Tinker Bell, and a corgi named Pumba. In my spare time I enjoy DIY crafts, quilting, video games, and going on adventures.

Gum disease is one of the most common health problems in the world, and Dr. Lamond is certainly passionate about catching telltale signs of its presence as early as possible in his patients smiles. Dental Solutions of East Texas offers diagnostic periodontal screenings and dedicated therapy techniques that can help your smile get back on the right track, so dont hesitate to call us here in Jacksonville, TX if you notice oral bleeding or other concerning symptoms.

Gum disease, also known as gingivitis or periodontal disease, is one of the most common forms of chronic disease, and it affects over half of adults in America today. If left untreated, what starts as a minor irritation in the mouth quickly develops into a more serious dental condition known as periodontal disease. Seek the care of your local dentist if you have one or more of the following symptoms of gum disease:

Patients who see their dentist regularly have a better chance of preventing, reducing, or even curing signs of gum disease before it has a chance to progress. However, in cases where gum disease advances into periodontitis, your regular dental cleaning and any brushing and flossing at home will not be enough to cure this painful, chronic condition. To prevent tooth loss, tooth decay and other symptoms of periodontitis, your dentist will use a treatment known as scaling and root planing to improve your oral health. The steps are as follows:

Bleeding gums are NOT normal. If rinsing your mouth after brushing results in a pinkish color in the sink, dont hesitate to schedule a visit. Gum disease can not only lead to more serious dental issues such as tooth inflammation, toothaches, or even tooth loss over time, but it is known to have a systemic relationship with your overall health as well. More dentists are beginning to link poor dental health and gum disease to certain health risks attached to cardiovascular health, strokes, Alzheimers, and various pregnancy issues. Maintaining your oral health plays a large role in the health of your entire body and is best supported with preventive care.
