My name is Allison, I am a dental hygienist and joined the practice in September of 2022. I completed my degree at Normandale Community College and have been practicing hygiene since 2021! My favorite part of dentistry is connecting with patients and improving their oral health. Outside of work I enjoy being outside, playing pickleball and staying active!
