Meet the Dental Team Heber City

In her spare time, she likes to read, hike, and go out dancing whenever she gets the chance!

Taylor is originally from Kentucky! When it came time for her studies, she chose to attend Bellarmine University and Salt Lake Community College. Now, she has her Local Anesthetic Licensure, and she’s also completed continuing education courses on periodontology. For her, the best thing about being a dental hygienist is having the opportunity to spend time with patients, get to know them personally, and help them feel empowered and safe in the treatment chair.

Taylor made the move to Utah with her husband in 2015. When she isn’t at our office or spending time with family, she enjoys practicing yoga, running on trails, and reading. Here’s a fun fact about her: she has her paragliding license!
