“I believe in a caring and gentle approach to dentistry and am always willing to answer questions and modify techniques to improve a patient’s dental health,” says Karen. A hygienist for over 30 years – several of which she worked in a nursing home caring for the dental needs of geriatric patients – she can be found in our office on Fridays, touting the benefits of flossing and using Listerine® for healthy gums and teeth. In fact, Karen believes so strongly in the benefits of Listerine, it has been rumored she is a company representative! A Rochester native, Karen resides in Irondequoit with her husband Gary, son Peter and two chocolate labs Fibert and Mousse. She graduated from Monroe Community College with a degree in Dental Hygiene.
