Denise J. - Registered Dental Hygienist


I started with Gingrich Dental in 1993. I had the privilege of working with Dr. Margaret's father Arthur Gingrich, until his retirement, and meeting her grandfather Y.O. Morris, but he was retired at that time.

I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program at Mott Community College in Flint MI in 1984. I started working in Imlay City, in the thumb area. My husband and I had the opportunity to move to the Pine River School district with our family in 1990. 

It is a blessing to work for a dentist that has a heart to serve. My goal in my job has always been to make a difference and help people to improve their health. I also wanted to improve the dental "phobias" people develop with bad past experiences. I feel motivated to improve myself and strive to contribute to the awesome team we have here at Gingrich Dental.
