Brittney earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene and joined our team in 2016.

Brittney loves educating patients and parents of the importance of routine dental care, and making a positive impact on their lives. Our patients are family, so she loves seeing them every six months and hearing what they've accomplished dental wise and in their personal life!

The love shared for the community is equal, and Brittney loves being a part of it!
Brittney married her best friend in 2017. She and her husband have two boys named Fisher and Hunter. They’re a family that loves the outdoors.

Kaitlyn
RDA
Meet Kaitlyn, or as many call her, "Kait." Kait joined our team in 2018. She's your friendly neighborhood dental assistant turned crime-solving connoisseur. It's like living in an episode of "CSI: Tooth Fairy Edition." Armed with her trusty floss and a knack for justice, Kait is currently pursuing her master's degree—because apparently, one degree just wasn't enough excitement. When she's not chasing down cavities or chasing down criminals (okay, maybe just in her dreams), you can find Kait curled up with her cat, Crookshanks, who's convinced he's a secret agent. Between floss battles and textbook brawls, Kait also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, dabbling in painting, buried in a book, and wondering if there's a dental code for "awkward small talk."

She spends her days providing routine dental cleanings and educating about the importance of good oral health. Fallon is our jokester and is always making our kiddos laugh.
