After graduating from Central Lakes College as a dental assistant, Nicole spent four years in a pediatric dental office. “I cherished working with the children, but I wanted to further myself in the dental field. I felt as a dental hygienist I would be able to spend more time developing relationships with patients so together we could reach optimal oral health care.” Nicole graduated from the dental hygiene program at St. Cloud Technical College in 2000. She has since joined the team at Lake Country Dental and enjoys every chance she gets to help a patient smile.”
