Ashley | Dental Assistant
My name is Ashley. I have been a dental assistant since 2018. I graduated from Ross Medical Education with a dental assisting certificate. I enjoy assisting Dr. Nichols with restorative procedures, such as crown preparations. I love working in dental and I am furthering my education to become a dental hygienist in the future. I am married and have a house on 12 acres in the country. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time outside with my English Cream Golden Retriever and reading books. I also enjoy spending time with family and camping in the summer.

My name is Amy. I am new to the dental field but am really enjoying the career change. My favorite part of my job has been interacting with patients and getting to know them and their families. I have a fiancé and two children. I enjoy spending time at the lake in the summer and being with my family.
