Jenny has worked in the dental field for over 32 years, both as an assistant and as a hygienist. Most of her years in practice include working in a periodontal office (a specialty practice that deals with gum disease).
Her main objective is on preventive dental care. She is dedicated to providing excellent care by educating patients about oral health and making each visit as comfortable and fun as possible! I treat each patient I see like I would want my own family to be treated. Its always a pleasure to get to know all the great people that come to our office and help Dr. Dell make healthy and beautiful smiles.
