I have practiced Dental Hygiene for 44 years. I love and feel very passionate about dental hygiene. Through observation and mentors I have broken away from the dogma taught in hygiene school and added to my knowledge. I want to mention four Dentists that have been my wise and trusted counselors.

How to Treat the Patients
After I graduated and before I started my first job my first employer my father Fred Pomeroy DDS had a heart to heart talk with me. He told me it was very important not to hurt the patient physically or mentally. I was to look at the big picture. If I was gentle in the cleaning process they would not fear coming back in six months. If I didn't belittle or send them on a guilt trip about their oral hygiene they would happy to come back. What I had to remember that every patient I see is motivated or they would not have made the appointment.
