Michelle is the best hygienist on the planet!I can’t say enough good things about Michelle at Hite Family Dental. My cleaning was extremely thorough and honestly the most comfortable one I’ve ever had. My teeth have never felt so good!What really set Michelle apart was her knowledge. She took the time to explain everything she was looking for and why it mattered, so I left feeling informed instead of just rushed through. She made me feel completely at ease and clearly takes pride in her work.If you’re looking for a hygienist who is skilled, kind, and genuinely cares about your oral health, ask for Michelle. I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else. Highly recommend!

This place is great! Everyone is friendly and they care about you as a person, not just your teeth. It’s crazy to think someone can feel comfortable at a dentist but that is exactly what they pull off. Highly recommend and I’ve been coming here for years.
