Hey there my name is Ginny and I am a dental hygienist and a proud resident of the volunteer state! I grew up in a small town in Vermont where I began working in dentistry in high school through an internship that showed me my passion for dental care! I’m really excited to help bring healthy smiles to the community. In my free time I like to kayak, build legos with my two sons Tucker and Levi and hunt and fish with my husband and our redbone coonhound!
