Nicole (registered dental hygienist)

I grew up in Skagit Valley and have always had a deep appreciation for this community and the people in it. I started my dental career as a dental assistant and spent five years in that role before continuing my education in dental hygiene at Shoreline Community College.As a hygienist, I love helping patients feel confident about their smiles. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and supported at every visit. I truly enjoy taking the time to answer questions and give you the tools and encouragement you need to keep your smile healthy.

Outside of the office, I enjoy the simple things that help me recharge. I love animals, painting, and spending as much time outdoors as I can. Whether I’m exploring nature, working on a new art project, or relaxing at home with my cat, those moments keep me balanced and inspired.
