Hygienists
Heather
My name is Heather, and I am one of Dr. Iten's dental hygienists. I have been a hygienist since 2003 and have worked for Dr. Tim since 2006. I often tell the parents of our patients, “there is no parenting handbook on children's dentistry…” so the real joy I take from my work here is being able to teach parents and patients about how to best care for their smiles. The relationships I build with our patients and seeing them learn and improve their brushing skills makes coming to work so rewarding. I am privelged to make a child feel special upon leaving his or her appointment and helping to create a positive experience at the dentist office. Our staff genuinely loves children and Dr. Iten will take the time to care for all the child's needs.
My husband and I were married on a beach in Jamaica in 2009. We have a grown son Brandon and a little boy Chase. I enjoy reading with my son, traveling on adventures, playing sports, and participating in my church and local community. Sharing the importance of dental health with children combines two of my favorite things!
Tiffany
I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2002 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in dental hygiene, and I am a registered dental hygienist for our practice. I help our patients by cleaning their teeth, taking radiographs, providing fluoride treatments, and teaching great dental hygiene tips to both our patients and their parents. I love interacting with all the patients who come to us for treatment, and I really love to hear about what’s going on in their lives outside of the office. Our doctor is always so upbeat and energetic, and always show our patients how much he cares about them.
I am a wife and mom of three, and I love the time I get to spend with my family. When I have free time, I enjoy reading, shopping, attending my kids’ school and sporting events, and vacationing with my family. We are also very active in our church and community activities. I also devote time to continuing my dental education so that I can provide our patients the best care available.
Beth
Patient education is my favorite part of my job as a dental hygienist. I love teaching the little ones how to brush and floss, and love it even more when they leave an appointment smiling! We have a lot of fun together! I am so thankful to be part of an office full of genuine, caring people who love working with kids.
My husband, Wynn, and I have three children. Tanner lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and our twins Olivia and Mason attend Walsh University and OSU Columbus. Olivia is in the nursing program at Walsh and plays volleyball for them. Mason is attending the Fisher Business College of OSU and is majoring in marketing. We also have a dog named Nala. Life keeps us pretty busy, but I like to find time to dance and go for walks. Spending quality time with my family and friends is a must!
Sue
My patients, by far and away, are the best part of my job! I love to get to know each child personally so I can give them the individual care they deserve, and hopefully make them laugh a little, too. I understand that many kids are scared of the dentist, but I work hard to give them a positive, gentle experience. Everyone at our office is so kind; I always leave work with a smile because I’m surrounded by such wonderful, caring people.
My husband, Joe, and I have four children, Regan, Riley, Alyson, and Cooper, as well as a dog named Tyler and two cats, Ozzy and Oliver. When I’m not busy with the family, I enjoy playing tennis and golf, skiing, and swimming.

I also help the office by ordering office supplies and scheduling appointments for patients. I love working with our patients’ parents to help answer any questions they have about their insurance coverage. Knowing that I help parents facilitate those beautiful smiles on their kids’ faces is the greatest reward I could ask for.

At Pediatric Dentistry, I am another one of the smiling faces at the front desk. I check patients out, assist with phone calls, schedule appointments, co-coordinate IV sedations with anesthesiologists, send out monthly billing statements, post insurance payments, and verify our patient’s insurance coverage. I cherish the moments when our little patients show off to me their shiny new smiles after their appointments and they then pick a toy out of our toy box. We are all grown up children in our office, so we love to keep our environment fun and energetic.
My husband, Dave, and I have been married for many years, and we have two children and one grand child. I love going out to dinner with my family, going to the beach, and traveling with Dave.

In our office, we are all like big kids ourselves, so we love having as much fun as we can with our kids. Our doctor makes our office such a lively and fun environment, and they are so good and caring with our patients and their parents. I feel blessed to work for such a caring and loving practice. The best part of my job, by far, is getting that big hug from our kids at the end of their appointment!

Making kids smile is the best part of my job and I love that I get to do that every day.

In our office, I am a dental assistant with my coronal polishing and sealant certificates so I help Dr. Iten chairside and by providing general patient care. Being able to see the smiles on the faces of our kids is awesome and it is definitely my favorite part of my job. I also love working with such a loving and thoughtful staff. Our doctor is amazing with our kids, and you can tell he really loves what he does. Even though we all connect with our patients so well, I think I have an advantage because of my height; kids sometimes think I am a kid!
At home, my wonderful husband Cyril and I have 2 boys named Beckett and Jude. We also enjoy walking with our Havanese named Tilly Cinderella and a Yorkie-Poo named LuLu.

Allison,
EFDA, Assistant
As a dental assistant, I help the doctors give care to our patients, especially with the tasks of coronal polishing and sealant placing. My favorite part of my job is playing and having conversations with the children. I like to make them feel welcome by becoming their friend—someone who is more than just another adult. Helping the kids to pick out their prizes is good bonding time (and being the first to play with the toys when they are delivered is a great perk!). Dr. Tim is fun, outgoing and upbeat. My hard work doesn’t go unnoticed; each day as I head out, I am thanked. As I always say, “Teamwork makes dream work.”
When I’m not working, I love to spend time with family and my Maltipoo named Daisy. I’ve been known to binge-watch Netflix series, and I can take impressively lengthy naps!

Anesha,

At Pediatric Dentistry you can find me assisting the doctor with cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and teaching the little ones about good oral health. If I'm not in the back assisting, you'll see me up front answering phones, scheduling and checking out patients. I love seeing the world through the kids' eyes everyday! Having them understand the dentist can be a fun and great experience, which is important to me. Not a day goes by where we aren't laughing, singing, or even dancing with the little ones.
At home I am married to my best friend, Bobby, with whom I have 6 beautiful children and 3 grandchildren! They keep us busy and we love it! When we can, my husband and I love escaping to the beach and palm trees.
I can't wait to see all your smiling faces!
