Jana has been working as one of our experienced dental hygienist’s in our practice since 2011. She brings with her the ability to clean teeth while telling you a story or two. When Jana isn’t in the office you can find her teaching a spinning class or running – because she loves chocolate – or chauffeuring one of her 3 children around Ithaca. Jana is a dedicated professional who will gently yet thoroughly provide your dental cleaning, counsel you about nutrition, oral hygiene and the role that dental fluoride plays in a healthy dentition.
