Maria Dimino, Registered Dental HygienistMy name is Maria Dimino and I am a registered Dental Hygienist. Some people say, it's not the destination, but the journey that shapes who you are. My journey began in 1992 as a dental assistant with little experience. Two years later, an office manager position was offered to me. I accepted it with gratitude. Over time I felt I needed to further enrich my career, and dental hygiene was the path I would take.
I enrolled at New York City college of Technology in 1999. Upon acceptance, a partial academic scholarship was granted to me. On graduation day I received the Oral-B Dental Hygiene Clinical Award. In 2004, I expanded my credentials by obtaining licensure for nitrous oxide sedation and local anesthesia for pain management.
My goal is to provide our patients with quality and customized hygiene care. The knowledge I gain each day by working closely with Drs. Kanner and Pieroni will allow me to be a better oral healthcare professional in the future.
