Our Hygienists all care a great deal about our patients. We all share a common goal of keeping ourselves on the cutting edge in both our treatment and the way we work with our patients. Meet our team.
I am proud to say that I have had the pleasure of working here at the Lumos Dental since 1984. Watching the practice evolve and grow so that we can better treat our patients and help them to achieve not only beautiful smiles but also healthy ones. I am married to a wonderful man, Mike, and I am a proud mother of two boys, Kyle and Kevin. I enjoy traveling, running, and relaxing by the lake.
I have been working at Lumos Dental since 1989. I started as a dental assistant with Dr. Levy for 5 years before entering Fones School of Dental Hygiene at University of Bridgeport, where I was vice president of my graduating class. I have been practicing hygiene with Lumos Dental since graduating in 1995. I live with my husband and two daughters and stay very active with my childrens’ daycare and activities. I enjoy cooking, hiking with my family, and gardening.
I have been working at Lumos Dental since 2017. I enjoy working for Lumos Dental because we focus on giving our patients the best dental care available with the most up to date technologies and techniques. I have always loved going to the dentist myself and want to make the dentist a happy and fun place to be. I graduated from the University of New Haven in 2015. I am originally from New Hampshire and enjoy going back to hike and see my family.
A New Haven native and graduate of New Haven University, Brittany is passionate about education, cleaning, and the oral-systemic health link. A natural teacher and a bit of a comedian, Brittany keeps the mood light and fun while helping patients embrace whole-body health. She has a great memory for people and loves helping nervous patients get comfortable with our office.
Brittany is passionate about health and wellness. At work, she teaches our patients how the bacteria in their mouth can affect their whole lives – and then gives them tools and tricks to keep that oral ecosystem healthy so that they can avoid diabetes and heart disease. In her spare time, Brittany teaches fitness classes and helps a wide range of students become healthier.
In her spare time, Brittany enjoys hanging out with her Great Dane, working towards a black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu, winemaking, and traveling.
