Nicole, RDH — For more than 23 years, I’ve worked in dental hygiene with the goal of helping my patients achieve and maintain ideal oral health. Since joining Dr. Calhoon’s office in 2014, I have enjoyed meeting new patients and catching up with established ones. I am also passionate about giving my best individualized care daily, making patients feel comfortable, and easing their fears. I love seeing the improvement in my patients’ mouths while undergoing periodontal therapy and seeing fears turn into enthusiasm! I enjoy gardening, cooking, baking, reading, traveling, and of course, spending time with friends and family.

I do however, have over 24 years experience in the dental field with experience with the front desk and with surgical assisting. I receive a lot of compliments on my smile and it took work to get it this way! I’ve experienced braces as an adult, root canal treatment, crowns, and a dental implant. If you want to know about any of these procedures from a “patient’s point of view”, feel free to ask me! My most favorite thing to do is laugh! I really enjoy making others laugh and enjoy their dental visit. My motto is…brush, floss, laugh-REPEAT!!
