SAMANTHA
MAKHARADZE,
Certified Dental Hygienist. Samantha graduated from New York
University in 1994 with a Bachelors degree in dental hygiene.
She has had extensive experience over the last seven years
in all phases of dental hygiene. She is trained in the placement
of antibiotic chips and subgingival (below the gums) irrigation
of medicines to combat periodontal disease. Samantha is very
dedicated to her work and is very enthusiastic when she sees
the fruits of her labor. " Prevention is the key to long
term success for our patients. Once we have arrested the disease
process, it is so important for our patients to have regular
3 or 4 month cleanings so that we can spot problems early
if they arise..then treatment is usually not complicated.
I love the interaction with our patients and to see their
improvement over time; it is very rewarding." Samantha
and her husband enjoy skiing, tennis and running.

children.
