Jen

Jen joined the Crosswoods Dental team in August 2026, bringing over three decades of dental hygiene experience to our practice. Her path into dentistry started early: when she got her braces off in the 8th grade, she loved how her teeth looked and felt so much that she told her mom she was going to work in dentistry when she grew up. She never wavered, going on to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene from The Ohio State University in 1996.

Jen’s patient care philosophy is simple: she cleans teeth the way she’d want her own to be cleaned. She wants everyone to be able to smile with confidence! She loves sharing tips and tricks to help patients improve their brushing and flossing so they can keep healthy teeth for a lifetime. Comfort is always a priority in her chair, and she encourages patients to ask questions. She’s especially dedicated to helping patients overcome dental fears so they can get the care they need.

Outside the office, Jen enjoys reading, shopping, and cheering on Cleveland baseball and Ohio State football. Whenever she can get away, you’ll find her near water. Her favorite indulgences are scallops, coffee, and dark chocolate.

A fun fact about Jen? She and her husband of 30 years share the same birthday, he’s one year and eleven hours older! Jen’s warmth, experience and passion for healthy smiles make her a wonderful addition to our dental family.
