Our Dental Hygienists
Laurie Paxinos
REGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST
A vitally important part of Tarantola Dentistry is a having Registered Dental Hygienist that believes and practices the holistic, health-oriented, person-centered philosophy of our practice. As you know, our practice is not about selling, and/or rushing patient appointments. It’s doing only what is appropriate for that individual.
Laurie has 10+ years of experience and was with the same practice in New Jersey for 10 years before relocating to Florida. That in itself says a lot! Just as important she believes and lives the holistic philosophy. We look forward to you meeting her.

We are very fortunate to have Elyse join our practice. She is 100% in step with our holistic approach to dentistry and will be a great addition to our team.
Elyse has over 10 years of experience as a dental hygienist. After serving in US Air Force she went on to pursue a career in the dental field and has since been dedicated to maintaining the oral health and wellness of her patients.
