Hetal Desai

Dental Hygienist

Hetal, although relatively new to our team, has been a part of the dental world for over eight years. She graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree from Government Dental College and Hospital in Nagpur, India, back in 2014. Her passion for dentistry led her to pursue a career as a dental hygienist in the USA. In 2022, she graduated as a Registered Dental Hygienist from the College of DuPage, with certification in local anesthesia.

Hetal enjoys building strong relationships with patients of all ages. She takes the time to educate them about the importance of overall oral health, emphasizing prevention to avoid dental and related systemic health issues. With extensive experience and advanced training from both India and the US, Hetal stays up-to-date with emerging technologies, disease processes, and the latest methods and materials.

Excited to have a career she loves, Hetal feels grateful to be working with an amazing team. Her top mission is to help patients achieve optimal oral health. During regular dental visits, she ensures that patients feel relaxed and comfortable, while also creating personalized home care strategies to maintain dental health between professional cleanings.

When she’s not immersed in the dental world, you’ll find Hetal spending time with her husband and their two lively kids—a boy and a girl. Beyond work, she enjoys decorating her house and dancing
