Ask Wednesday: Jenny Morris on dental hygiene

Jenny Morris is the able and pleasant dental hygienist we visited this month for our regular preventive check-up. Our conversation was so informative that we asked her whether she would share some information with our readers about dental hygiene and visiting the dentist. We're glad she agreed. We've had regular preventive check-ups for many years, but were surprised to learn that far from everyone has regular dental check-ups.
    A native North Carolinian, Jenny is a registered dental hygienist, holding an Associate of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Guilford Technical Community College (2006). [Our questions are in italics.]
