My name is Colleen Fraker and I am the Hygienist. I began my career in Dentistry in 1982 in Orthodontics. I spent the next 18 years expanding my knowledge of occlusion, parafunctional habits, obstructed airways, and reconstruction due to trauma and/or head and neck deformities. In 2000, I graduated with my degree in Dental Hygiene. I have been active in teaching our Special Needs community about the importance of “brushing and flossing”. I have had the pleasure of being a guest speaker at group homes, and center schools to not only demonstrate good oral hygiene, but to spark enthusiasm about oral care. My passion is not only in healthy mouths, but also in nutrition. This life-long learning journey is ever evolving. A little peek into my personal life, I grew up on a local farm and showed horses competitively all over the Southeastern United States.
