| Karen Schreiber, Hygienist There are those people that love to get their teeth cleaned, and then there are the rest of the people who come because they understand the overall health benefits of regular cleanings but, just wish they could leave their teeth at the door and pick them up an hour later. Karen enjoys the opportunity to help people feel welcome, cared for, and informed. She likes for people to leave our office feeling not only smooth clean teeth but also to feel empowered to further their care, on their own, on a daily basis and also informed, to enable good dental choices that will lead to more comfort and fewer dental visits. Karen completed her education in dental hygiene at The University of Texas Health Science Center of Houston Dental Branch, where she received the Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler Award for outstanding clinical skills and professional judgement. She has practiced for 25 years both in the US and in Switzerland. When not making patients feel at home in our practice, she is making her home in Carbondale, with her husband and twin boys. She loves cooking, hiking , yoga and reading. |
