Elizabeth

Registered Dental Hygienist

Elizabeth started her professional journey in 2007 and joined the Lakewood Dental Trails team in 2023. She served as an oral surgeon assistant for a year before being accepted into dental hygiene school. Elizabeth attended Pierce College in Lakewood, Washington, where she received her Associate's Degree in Dental Hygiene. She is CPR/BLS certified through the American Heart Association and is certified in nitrous oxide through the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. Elizabeth also holds dental hygiene licenses in the states of Texas and Washington.

Elizabeth’s interest in dentistry was sparked by her aunt, a dental hygienist. Through her aunt, she witnessed the relationships formed with patients who became like family to her. Elizabeth’s interactions with her patients mirror this bond, and she values the lasting connections she makes. While many patients come to her dreading dentistry, she turns their negative experiences into positive ones, where they actually start looking forward to their visits.

A native of University Place, Washington, Elizabeth moved to Texas in 2022. Her husband is a Battalion Executive Officer for the Army, and they have three children: Lucas, Ava, and Carly. Between running kids to soccer games and trying to keep up with a one-year-old, Elizabeth loves traveling, hiking, and working out.
