Hi!
My name is Donna. I am one of the Registered Dental Hygienists that
works for Dr. Caputo's Naperville dental office. I have been with the
practice since I moved to Naperville in the fall of 2003. I have a
Bachelor's degree in Dental Hygiene from Loyola University in Chicago
and have been an RDH for almost 25 years. My career history in the
dental field has included substituting as a Clinical instructor at
Prairie State, attending continuing education courses, and following
online study groups and blogs to keep current with the most recent
technology. Most recently, our hygiene team completed dental laser
certification.
I enjoy guiding patients toward optimal oral health. It has become
increasingly evident that the mouth and body are connected. Good oral
health improves the health of the whole body, particularly in patients
with diabetes and heart disease. I educate patients about nutritional
choices, effective plaque removal techniques, fluoride supplementation,
and appropriate intervals for periodontal maintenance. It is very
satisfying to see someone turn their oral health around with just some
small changes.
You may see me around outside the office. I live just down the street
in Penncross Knoll and have three sons who are very active in sports and
music. When I leave the office, I am usually running to the soccer
field, track, or some music program. If you wonder who the lady smiling
and waving to you is, it might be me! Besides the boys' activities, as a
family we enjoy traveling, skiing, hiking, music, and spending time
with friends and family.
