With over 20 years of experience in the dental field, Lindsey's journey is marked by a wealth of expertise and a passion for oral health.
A Family Tradition:
Raised in a family where dentistry was not just a profession but a way of life, Lindsey’s grandfather and father were both esteemed dentists. Surrounded by the principles of compassionate care and a commitment to oral health, Lindsey's goal is to extend this family legacy by bringing dental care directly to those who need it the most.

Every Patient Matters:
Central to Lindsey's philosophy is the belief that every patient matters. It's not just about dental care; it's about ensuring that each person knows their importance and receives personalized attention that goes beyond the clinical setting.

Understanding the Connection: Oral Health and Overall Well-Being
At Home Sweet Hygiene, we believe in the profound connection between your oral health and your overall well-being. Here's why your oral health is integral to your overall health:
Gateway to Systemic Health
Your mouth is the entry point to your digestive and respiratory systems.
Problems in your mouth can potentially impact other parts of your body.
Diabetes Connection
Individuals with diabetes are more prone to gum disease, and conversely, untreated gum disease can make it harder to control blood sugar levels.
Heart Health
Some studies suggest a correlation between gum disease and an
increased risk of heart disease. While the exact connection is still being
researched, maintaining good oral health is considered beneficial for heart health.
Bacterial Balance
Your mouth naturally contains bacteria. While most are harmless,
maintaining good oral hygiene helps control harmful bacteria that can lead
to infections and inflammation.
Respiratory Health
Oral infections can contribute to respiratory problems, especially in
individuals with compromised immune systems.
Joint Health
Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis may be linked to oral health.
Inflammation in the mouth could exacerbate joint pain.
Inflammation and Chronic Conditions
Chronic inflammation in the gums (periodontitis) has been linked to
various systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and
respiratory issues.
Pregnancy and Birth
Poor oral health has been associated with complications during
pregnancy, including preterm birth and low birth weight.
Oral Cancer
Early detection of oral cancer during routine dental exams is crucial for
successful treatment and can impact overall health outcomes.
Understanding the intricate relationship between oral health and overall health empowers you to take a holistic approach to your well-being. By prioritizing your oral health, you contribute to the foundation of a healthier, happier life.
At Home Sweet Hygiene, we're here to support you on your journey to optimal health, starting with a healthy smile.
