My name is Michele. I'm a dental assistant. I have worked in the dental field since May of 99'. My favorite part of working in this field is helping Dr. with many procedures like fillings, crowns and root canals. The best part of working here is the end result. Like seeing patient faces when you help change their smile. Being a dental assistant I have learned many new things and that is just amazing to me. I also enjoy spending time with my family. My husband's name is Brian and my son is Ryan who is going to be 13. He is very busy in sports such as indoor soccer, baseball and regular soccer. He is also a very good bowler and hunter.

My name is Shelly and I have worked for Dr. Meyer since July, 2002. My favorite part of the job is working with the little kids. I enjoy making their visit as easy and as fun as possible so that they want to come back. My favorite procedure is assisting Dr. Meyer with dental crowns. I enjoy seeing the before and after results. When I'm done here I go home to my #1 full-time job. My husband and my two boys, Caden and Jacob like to keep me busy with every sport there is possible.

My name is Maria,
I have worked for Dr. Meyer since January of 1999.
I do a lot of different things that are essential to the dental office. Usually, I'm helping assistants set up rooms, take x-rays, fill in supplies and sterilizing instruments to keep the schedule running on time. I help the hygienist by recording probing scores for her and also keeping her instruments sterilized. I do some behind the scenes work at the front desk by filing charts daily, getting charts ready for the next day, making copies, etc.
In the lab I pour up models to be used for study models and the making of biteguards for patients who "grind" their teeth. When a patient loses a tooth from a denture I will add one back on. I enjoy looking at the final results of this, especially when the patient is very pleased.
When the office is closed I do some office maintenance -taking care of plants, cleaning the office and keeping it looking presentable to patients.
I enjoy music and dancing and spending time with my husband Dan. We have a 25 year old daughter Theresa who I also like to spend time with when I get the chance!
