About Valerie Lundy, RDH:
Valerie pursued a dental career after watching her mother deliver compassionate care as a dental hygienist. “When I was four years old, my mother decided to go back to school and enrolled in a dental hygiene program,” she shares. “My mother attended classes while I was in preschool, and when my preschool program was not available, I actually sat in on her classes, becoming familiar with her office and services at a very young age.”
She is passionate about dental wellness and preventive care. “Having worked with an oral surgeon at a dental surgery and implant center previously, I saw more oral cancer patients than most dentists see in their entire career. It has left me with a unique passion for preventing and diagnosing oral cancer early, explaining treatment options, and providing emotional support,” she explains. “The most rewarding part of my job is helping patients improve their dental health and achieve their goal of being able to smile again.”
In her free time, she enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking, and traveling. Last year, she hiked the Black Forest trail with her 15-year-old daughter, camping along the way and completing an impressive 43-mile hike in just three days.
