Hi, its nice to meet you! I work as a dental hygienist cleaning teeth, helping with sealants, taking X-rays, educating patients in proper homecare and explaining possible treatments to patients.

Brett is my husband, and we have two daughters. I enjoy listening to music, going to the beach, and going to new restaurants with friends.
As a dental assistant, I help with chairside procedures, sterilization, lab work, and making patients feel comfortable. I have been in this office since it opened in 1978!

As a dental assistant, I help our dentists with chairside dental treatments, and always do my best to make each patient feel at home and relaxed. I have been working in the field since 1980, and in this office since 1982. Both our doctors always explain procedures they are going to perform, and make sure the patient is comfortable at all times. They discuss treatment options with the patients, and help the patient to choose rather than dictating what will be done. My family includes my loving husband, our two grown daughters, two dogs and three cats.

Dr. Hawkins graduated from Emory University and attended Post Graduate School at the University of Georgia. Afterwards, he graduated from the Emory School of Dentistry in 1978, and moved back to Gainesville to begin his practice.
Dr. Hawkins truly enjoys helping people and receives great satisfaction by improving their health. We get to know our patients, not just as patients, but as friends we see at church, civic organizations, or in the community. I now see the children of the patients who were children when they first came to our practice, and its truly amazing to know multiple generations of our local families.
I find it most rewarding when a patient smiles and says thank you. Success is the satisfaction of being proud of what you do and the enjoyment of doing it. In our practice, we treat the whole person, not just their teeth. This means we see our patients as individuals with specific needs and priorities, and we take the time to listen to them. It also means that we pay attention to how their oral health coincides with their overall health. Many times a lack of oral hygiene leads to more serious problems, and we want to help our patients live long, healthy lives
