Rikki
Licensed Dental Hygienist
I earned my Bachelor's degree in dental hygiene in 2000 from the University of Minnesota. I love meeting new people and getting to know them and their families. Patient care is my top priority and I feel White Bear Smiles allows me to provide that care.
I live in Hugo with my husband Jake, our 2 kids Teagan and Talen, and our Russian tortoise, Hank. We are an active soccer family and enjoy being outside. Teagan and Talen both play for the Manitou FC. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.
White Bear Smiles has been a great experience for the whole family. When I was a kid, I was terrified of the dentist. I am thrilled that my kids are having a very different experience! The staff has been great at working with my kids (4 and 7 years), and the dentist has been a positive experience for them. they get excited if they do well and are the "Patient of the Day" and they have fun with their prizes. My daughter had to have cavities filled and even that was simple and not traumatic for her!
We also recently had an out-of-town guest who was experiencing tooth pain. White Bear Smiles got him in and immediately took care of it. My husband and I have nothing but positive feedback for the entire family!
