Halimeh received her dental hygiene training at Oregon Health Science University and has been practicing in her field for over 20 years.
She started her career by working for a well-known periodontist where she noticed the challenges of her patients who were struggling with gum disease. She became more aware of the importance of early detection of periodontal disease in order to improve overall health. She has continued to use her experience as she moved on to working with patients in our office.
