She graduated from the dental hygiene program at New York City College of Technology. She also holds certifications in the administration of local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, and laser treatment. Olga is from Turkmenistan, and moved to the US 8 years ago.
“The thing I like about being a hygienist is seeing my patients leave with a big smile and gratitude, especially the patients who had not been able to see a dentist for several years or those who had never been to a dentist at all. I love taking before-and-after pictures for patients with heavy buildup or staining from coffee/smoking, and showing them their beautiful, shining teeth.
One of the things that I learned working with Dr. Gajjar is to keep learning every day. Working with such a great team motivates me to do better; it allows me to face challenges and to think critically. It inspires me and helps me to feel fulfilled, even when I am doing it on a day-to-day basis. It’s definitely satisfying to see people leave with beautiful, bright smiles, but the value of our job goes beyond a nice smile. We are educators as well as healers.”
