Griselda

Hygienist

Griselda embarked on her journey in the dental field over 19 years ago, initially as a dental assistant. In 2011, she accomplished her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from USC, showcasing her dedication to the profession. Griselda is fueled by her passion for dental hygiene and finds joy in educating her patients on maintaining optimal oral health. “I am continuously enhancing my career through ongoing education and staying informed with dental hygiene literature. My commitment is to positively impact my patients’ overall health. At Crenshaw Professional Dental Center, I strive to offer the exceptional healthcare my patients deserve, helping them attain a healthy and beautiful smile.” During hygiene visits, Griselda employs adjunctive treatments like oral irrigation, local antibiotics, perio protect, fluoride varnishes, prescription and over-the-counter mouth rinses to promote healthy gums. She emphasizes the importance of at-home care, expecting her patients to brush at least twice a day and floss at least once daily. “It’s crucial for patients to understand that periodontal disease is a serious oral infection that can be managed but not entirely eradicated. We’re combating a formidable bacteria that, if untreated, can lead to bone and tooth loss. Research also links periodontal disease to heart disease, diabetes, and lung infections.

Outside of work, she cherishes quality time with her family, engages in workouts, enjoys reading, listens to music, and relishes trips to the movies. “Your healthy smile is my professional success.” Book your next hygiene visit with Griselda to experience excellent dental hygiene care and receive personalized home care recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
