Registered Dental Hygienist I enjoy meeting and learning who our patients are, and hearing about their lives and families. I especially like working with patients whove avoided dental care for some time: together, we move their mouth from unhealthy to healthy and return their smile!
I work one-to-one with patients: taking X-rays, screening for oral cancer, and providing preventive and maintenance care with cleanings and fluoride treatments. A lot of my day is spent teaching patients about their oral health and empowering them to make positive changes.
My husband Russel and I have been married for 35 years. We have three children Vanessa, Victoria, and Ryan and six wonderful grandchildren. When Im not at Nortey Dental, I help take care of my autistic grandchildren. I also love to read, watch good movies, and enjoy life.
Certified Dental Assistant I enjoy making people smile and helping patients feel safe and at home in our office. I love taking what can be a stressful experience and turning it into one thats positive and relaxing, and has our patient smiling and looking forward to coming back!
I set up the treatment room, seat our patient, and prepare him or her to see Dr. Lokko. Working chairside, I assist Dr. Lokko and act as a second pair of hands while supporting our patient. When were finished, I provide homecare instruction, answer questions, and make sure our patient is happy with what weve done. I also assist Cynthia when she needs me.
Dr. Nii Lokko graduated from Luther College, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in biology. He attended Tufts University in Boston, and graduated with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine. Dr. Lokko remained at Tufts to complete a rigorous general practice residency.
Dr. Lokko is an active member of the American Dental Association, the Maine Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. Through these organizations, hes able to take a variety of postgraduate courses, and continue to learn from the leading researchers and practitioners in the field.
Dr. Lokko and his wife Zenobia have two children, a son & a daughter. When hes not dreaming of flying kites, Dr. Lokko can be found playing soccer, following his kids to their games to support their activities, and relaxing with loved ones.
