Her favorite part of working with Cater Dental is meeting our patients and having the opportunity to build a relationship with each of them. Currently, she is studying at the College of DuPage and is excited to work towards beginning her dental hygiene studies. Kristina I’m Kristina, Office Manager and Lead Dental Assistant, mom of two glitter-covered humans, and total science nerd who never quite grew out of asking “but why?”. I live for the medical side of what we do—diving into microbiology, geeking out over bone regeneration, and figuring out exactly why that high-speed handpiece sings at 400,000 rpm. Every new study feels like opening a present, and I love translating the complicated stuff into plain English so you actually understand what’s happening in your mouth. When I’m not at the chair calming your nerves or figuring out your insurance, I’m usually at home baking, playing games with my children, or still hunting for yesterday’s glitter in my hair. My favorite moment? When a patient who walked in terrified says, “That wasn’t so bad—see you in six months!” That’s the win. Can’t wait to meet you and turn your “ugh, dentist” into “wait, that’s it?”
