Liz has been a registered dental hygienist for 25 years, 17 of them at Dr. Deschenes’ office. After years of being in different types of dental practices including periodontal and pediatric, She is very happy to be in a general practice, getting some of both specialties along with patients of all ages and families, watching preschool children from long ago head off to college. Working here continues to be an excellent experience.

She loves everything about being a hygienist, especially her patient interaction. The variety of assisting other staff members or clearing up insurance problems, or dealing with lab work on occasion adds different challenges. She encourages teens to consider this excellent profession which she has enjoyed all these years.
