Dental Hygiene Team

At Harlan Dental, our three licensed dental hygienists play a vital role in helping you achieve and maintain excellent oral health. Each member of our hygiene team is licensed by the Iowa Dental Board and has graduated from an accredited dental hygiene program, bringing both skill and compassion to patient care.


Our hygienists do more than clean teeth—they are highly trained professionals who provide periodontal care, take diagnostic dental radiographs, perform oral cancer screenings, and administer local anesthetic when needed. They are also dedicated educators, helping patients understand how oral health connects to overall wellness.


Working closely with Dr. Shields, our hygienists take a collaborative, team-based approach to identify potential dental or systemic health concerns. This comprehensive model ensures that every patient receives personalized, informed care tailored to their needs.
