Katrina has been a chair-side assistant and treatment coordinator for over 17 years, graduating from the AL Med Academy, in 1999 with a degree in Dental Assisting.

Our Hygiene Team
We have six highly experienced hygienists at Ballwin Dental Care who will help you understand how to achieve a healthy mouth, why it’s important, and how it relates to your general health. Continuing education is very important to our office, and especially our hygienists, so much so that they all exceed the requirements of the state of Missouri for maintaining their licenses. They will provide you with a gentle but thorough cleaning and teach you how to be a partner in your own health.
