Ashley Registered Dental Hygienist

What inspired you to work in dentistry?
I became interested in the dental field at an early age. I was born missing multiple teeth, so between orthodontics, bone grafts, and implants, I spent a lot of time in the dental chair. While that might turn some people away, it actually sparked my interest—it made me realize how dynamic and rewarding a career in dentistry could be.

What do you enjoy most about your role at Oasis Family Dental?
My favorite part of working at Oasis is getting to know my patients. I love chatting with them about things they’re excited about—like upcoming trips or big family milestones.

What are your strengths or specialties in your role?
I’d say my strengths are staying organized and making sure each patient receives care that feels personal and thoughtful.

What do you do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy taking my dog Charlie for walks, going to workout classes, and treating myself to good cheese and wine.

What is your favorite quote, motto or something that motivates you?
What motivates me is striving to be the best version of myself and always focusing on self-improvement.

Anything else you’d like patients to know about you?
I have a totally irrational fear of sharks—and my coworkers never let me forget it. Dr. Lee even once showed up to his hygiene appointment in a shark costume just to tease me!
