My name is Carmelyn Paguio, and I’ve had the privilege of working in the dental field for nearly 20 years. My journey began as a receptionist and a dental assistant before pursuing my registered dental hygiene career. I further expanded my expertise by obtaining my Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice (RDHAP) license.
My passion for dentistry and commitment to preventive care inspired me to broaden my practice. With my RDHAP license, I can now offer dental hygiene services independently, especially to those who may have difficulty accessing traditional dental offices. In addition, I am thrilled to be opening a physical dental hygiene office to serve communities with limited access to care.
I am excited to help patients maintain their oral health and look forward to meeting you all soon!
