Megan Tesimale, Registered Dental Hygienist

Megan originally hails from Arizona but has called Utah home since she was a teenager. She’s a registered dental hygienist and her dental philosophy is that prevention is the best treatment, because it’s easier to maintain a smile than to rebuild one! One of the key aspects of her role is doing all she can to prevent periodontal disease and other systemic diseases that could come from the oral cavity.

Megan was introduced to the dental field by her orthodontist who took her on as an employee. Since then, she’s had the opportunity to work as an orthodontist assistant, receptionist, oral surgery assistant and general dental assistant. She’s always enjoyed the dental field and chose to keep progressing, and holds degrees from the Utah College of Dental Hygiene, Utah Valley University and Southern Utah University.

Megan has served 18 months in Mexico as a missionary for the church, learning Spanish and taking time to learn about the local culture. In her leisure time, she enjoys anything outdoors, going to the gym with her husband, singing, playing the piano and making time for a good movie session.
