Meet SelinaDental Hygienist

Hometown: Portland, OR

Role at Hackensack Dentist: Dental Hygienist. I’m committed in earning your trust, ensuring each appointment is free from anxiety and pain.

The first job I ever had: Dental assistant, setting the foundation allowing me to offer comprehensive support and personalize patient care.

Why did you decide on a Dental Field? At 15, a toothache plagued me for years. My first visit to the dentist became a turning point. I saw the dentist as my hero, relieving my pain by removing a severely infected tooth. The warm and friendly dental assistant inspired me to help others as they had helped me.

Hobbies and Interests: Teeing off when time allows, eagerly awaiting the day my youngest can join. Family time is par for the course of my heart!

What is something people don’t know about you? My parents sharing toothbrushes was their norm! I firmly believe that the most vital information my patients can offer is their background. I’m here to listen and treat without judgement!

What is my favorite food? A perfectly cooked medium rare steak.
