Shelly
Dental Hygienist
I have had the privilege to be a partner in dental hygiene care with Dr. Carson since 2005. This is truly an amazing office with talented and caring team members. I am proud to be a part of it! Some of the many reasons why I have been with Dr. Carson for so long is his integrity, his artistic and quality dentistry and above all, his genuine caring for his patients and overall wellness. These are all traits and attributes that he expects from his team members as well. Dental hygiene is my passion and it has been the utmost pleasure and honor to partner with such amazing patients throughout my years here. We pride ourselves on individualized care that is comprehensive, gentle and amazing! Come see for yourself!!
I received my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2000, Cum Laude, from Northern Arizona University. I share my life with 3 of the most incredible people, my husband Kurt and my 2 sons, Mason and Zackary.
