Kitty
Certified Registered Dental Hygienist
As a seasoned dental hygienist with 29 years of experience, Kitty delivers high quality care to every patient she treats. Originally from Sacramento, California, Kitty relocated to Florida in early 2020, drawn by the great weather and rocket launches.
Before joining White Palm Dental, Kitty served as a dental hygienist at Patrick Space Force Base, where she worked alongside Dr. McGavin for 3.5 years. When Dr. McGavin opened White Palm Dental, Kitty eagerly joined him, confident that there was no other dentist she would rather work with. Her dedication to service continues as she volunteers monthly at Patrick Space Force Base, providing dental care to Air Force Reservists.
Kitty is certified in Nitrous Oxide Sedation and Local Anesthesia, and her passion for patient education and oral health is evident in every interaction. Patients frequently praise her gentle yet thorough approach, emphasizing the trust and comfort they feel under her care.
When not in the office, Kitty enjoys the outdoors, maintaining an active lifestyle, spending time with family and friends, and traveling to explore new places. Her dedication to patient care, along with her energetic and positive personality, makes her a vital part of the White Palm Dental team.
