Lynn Tippeconnie, RDHI am a long time resident of the Four Corners area. My husband and I have 2 sons and we live here in Farmington. I love to read, exercise, weave, cook, and play with my kids. I have a real thirst for knowledge and love learning new things.
At Dr. Smalley's I am one of two registered dental hygienists and I have been working with Dr. Smalley since 2004. I graduated from San Juan College's Dental Hygiene program with an associate of Applied Sciene and will complete my Bachelor of Sciene degree through Northern Arizona University Fall 2010. I am licensed to do all hygiene clinical work, local anesthetic, and nitrous oxide sedation. Over the years, I continue to strive for providing the best dental care through continuing education and staying active as a member of the American Dental Hygienists' Assocation (ADHA). I love to learn about dentistry, new science, and dental technology so that I can provide my patients with more options and the best dental care possible. As a dental hygienist my goal is to make every dental appointment a comfortable and pleasant experience. I want to show my patients that I genuinely care for them and I want to help them enjoy better dental health so they can feel more confident about their smile. After all "We Care About People, Not Just Teeth".
Yvette Tafoya, RDHNative of Farmington, NM. When not assisting patients obtain and maintain oral health, I enjoy spending time with family. I am married, 8 years, with two daughters. As a family, we spend our time at the dirt track racing.
I obtained my associate degree in Dental Hygiene from SJC in 2006. Dental hygiene has been a rewarding career, as a team we help patients understand the importance of regular preventative treatment appointments, and the importance of at home care.
