Susanne has over 35 years of clinical experience having worked with over twenty dentists in the seacoast area. As owner of Hygiene Health™ and Director of Hygiene Operations she brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to her patients. Her hybrid career includes ten years with Tom’s of Maine in Professional Relations and as Oral Care Associate Brand Manager re-launching their Children’s Fluoride Rinse with the ADA Seal (a point of pride).  She has worked as a consultant with Oral-B and as an Independent Professional Educator with Philips Sonicare and WaterPik. She has been president of the NH Dental Hygienists’ Association twice and is currently their Governmental Affairs Chair. Chosen by her peers as the 2014 RDH Mentor of the Year, she is a recognized professional in the oral healthcare industry holding dental hygiene licenses in NH, Maine and Massachusetts. In June 2017, she successfully advocated to change the state dental law allowing part-time working moms (like herself) to apply for independent practice status. #NeverthelessShePersisted.
