Jonathan King

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hi, I’m Jonathan. I’ve been practicing dental hygiene since 2016, but I’ve been in the dental industry for 16 years. My main focus as a dental hygienist is providing periodontal treatment and educating patients on oral health. What brought me into dentistry were my family members. Many of my family members are in the dental field and created a lasting impression on me to provide dental care. My greatest accomplishment is when a returning patient values their oral health through consistent visits and routine at-home care.
