Dental Clinic of Onalaska’s staff has always been known for treating patients with quality care. This team of passionate professionals brings their expertise and smiles with them to work every day. The Onalaska, Wisconsin practice appreciates its employees and wants to take this opportunity to spotlight a special member of their stellar team: dental hygienist Carrie.

Carrie loves working in a team environment and the feeling she gets from treating every patient like family. Carrie’s thirst for knowledge is evident in her wide array of skills, which include scaling, polishing, X-rays, patient oral hygiene care, and sterilization of instruments. Her favorite part of working for a family dentist, she says, is the opportunity to have positive interactions with all of her patients. She enjoys being a part of their lives, even if it’s just for short bits of time. The relationships she builds with patients are a priceless part of her job as a dental hygienist. Chatting with patients about their holiday traditions, shopping adventures, and, of course, the local tradition of hunting, serve as a constant reminder as to why she entered the field in the first place.

Her caring personality has helped even the most frightful patients get past their fears, and she effortlessly instills a sense of relaxation in patients what lasts for the rest of their visits. She has the ability to make the patients feel at ease and overcome previous bad experiences, whether they stem from an early childhood event or from anxiety. Being a mother, she takes great pleasure in motivating children to develop healthy cleaning habits. Carrie lives with her husband Chad and their two teenage children, Jett and Liberty. She enjoys outdoor activities like camping and hiking, as well as spending time with close friends and family.

The Dental Clinic of Onalaska treats every patient with individualized dental care, and the staff work hard to create a comfortable environment the moment you walk through the door. Carrie and the rest of the team will provide the greatest care, and whether you need a teeth whitening treatment or dental implants, they will guide you through every step of the way.
