Stephanie, Dental Assistant
After earning her GED, Stephanie continued her education through State Career School. There, she earned a Dental Assistant Certificate. She also completed courses in Coronal Polishing and Nitrous Oxide Monitoring.
“For me, the most fulfilling aspect of being a dental assistant is working with children and helping them practice proper dental hygiene.”
In her spare time, Stephanie loves spending time with her family, especially her many nieces and nephews.
Mary, Dental Assistant
For Mary, the most fulfilling aspect of her job is making children smile and laugh! Also creating memorable moments with children.
Outside of the workplace, Mary loves going on adventures with her family as often as possible.
Mehnaz, Clinical Assistant
Mehnaz is currently a Psychology Major on the Pre-Dental track studying to become an orthodontist. Mehnaz loves seeing children walk out smiling after getting their teeth cleaned, and believes that if children don’t love their dentist, it’s difficult to instill proper oral health habits for their future.
Mehnaz looks forward to helping patients have a smooth and comfortable experience at the practice.
Ana, Dental Assistant
From Chicago, Ana now lives here in Lake Zurich and is just five minutes from the practice. She and Dr. Blair had worked together at a previous office before coming here. “Once Dr. Blair bought the practice, I knew I wanted to come work for her.” Ana actually got her start in the dental field here at Children’s Dentistry Group, LLC about 10 years ago.
When she’s not assisting our dentists, Ana enjoys spending time with her three children, who are all active in sports. She loves rooting them on. Ana also likes gardening, making candles, crafting, cooking, and spending time with family.
Becca, Dental Assistant
A native of McHenry, Illinois, Becca went to cosmetology school after graduating high school. She then worked as a hairstylist and had her own business.
She decided to switch careers and work in pediatric dentistry, as she’s always enjoyed working with children. Becca used to coach tumbling classes and some cheer teams. She wanted to find something she was passionate about. Working with kids and having a fascination with teeth is what propelled her into the dental industry.
In her spare time, Becca and her boyfriend enjoy spending time with their two dogs, and they also foster dogs from a rescue in Northbrook. Riding their Harley motorcycle on weekends is another favorite activity. They do some charity rides and fun pleasure rides. She also enjoys hanging out with friends.
