Jeanette Welch

Registered Dental Hygienist, also known as the Plaque Terminator

Jeanette was first inspired to pursue dentistry by her junior high hygienist, Joyce—a mentor she would later have the privilege of working with before retirement. Today, Jeanette continues that legacy—not just by helping patients improve their oral health, but by guiding them through “light bulb” moments that transform how they care for themselves. She finds joy in watching people gain confidence to smile again, knowing it can be truly life-changing.

Jeanette is currently completing training in myofunctional therapy, which focuses on improving the function of the tongue and orofacial muscles to support better breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speaking—and she’s eager to bring this service to our guests. Outside of the office, Jeanette loves spending time with her family, walking, reading, and soaking up the joy of being a grandma to two adorable granddaughters.
