Hygienist Corner: Kara

Kara just joined our team as a hygienist on August 14, but she already feels like a part of the Eagle Dental Care family. She’s a natural with patients, and her passion for dentistry is evident from the moment you meet her. Maybe that’s because her love of the dentist’s office began at an early age.

“When I was growing up,” Kara says, “I saw the same hygienist for many years, and I came to really value our relationship. My experiences were always great, and I want to provide the same connection to my patients now.” In addition to our wonderful patients, Kara is also a fan of Dr. Thomason and the entire team here. “They’ve made me feel welcome,” she states, “and I’m loving every day here.”

Another thing that excites Kara is educating patients about the link between oral care and their overall health. “ I feel lucky to be involved in dentistry at such an exciting time,” she notes. “People are becoming more aware about how important good oral hygiene is, and I’m thrilled to be able to help them understand the medical connection in a little more detail.”

When she’s not in the office, Kara loves to spend her time exploring the incredible Idaho scenery. “I just moved from Vancouver, Washington,” she says, “and I’m loving all of the nature that Idaho has to offer. I’m sure I have many weekends of hiking, camping, and fishing in my future.”

We’re so happy to have Kara here at Eagle Dental Care. Over the coming months, she’s looking forward to meeting all of our patients and developing relationships that last for years.
