Esther Sohn RDH
Esther Sohn joined our team in 2019. She has been amazingly popular among our patients and has implemented many of our holistic approaches to our dental hygiene and prophylaxis programs. She implements ozone gas and laser decontamination in her routine dental cleanings and expertly addresses most periodontal issues utilizing non-invasive and biological protocols. The most common reaction of our patients after their first one-hour session with Esther includes the phrase “This is the first time I experienced such a thorough cleaning”.
We will hereby let her introduce herself in the following paragraph:
“My name is Esther and I am a dental hygienist. I graduated from LLUSD in 2003 and I come from a family of dental and medical professionals. I believe in educating people about their oral health so that they can make informed decisions. I value prevention before treatment, simplicity, and consistency. Life gives us many reasons to smile and I’m here to help maintain that smile.”
