Dental Hygiene Appointments Update | Spring 2025

Dear Ellicott Mills Dental Patients,

As you make your way through the year, we hope you and your families are doing well!

Unfortunately, one of our full-time dental hygienists, Alicia, has gone out on medical leave. Currently, we do not have a definitive return date but are hopeful for her to return by the summer. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through this period and we will keep you updated regarding her expected return date.

We are fortunate to still have our other staff hygienists, Shawn and Sinoh, as well as our reliable, long-term temporary hygienist, Clare, available to keep the schedule flowing as usual.

Alicia has asked us to stress the importance of adhering to your regular cleaning schedule instead of postponing until she returns to maintain the best oral health possible.

While she deeply appreciates your loyalty to her, it makes it much harder on her hands and arms if you delay your appointments and allow additional buildup to collect.

Unless we reach out to you directly, your currently scheduled hygiene appointment(s) will remain as scheduled. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out by phone, text message or email and we will be happy to help in any way we can.

Thank You,

Dr. Kimberly Ford & Associates
