For the last 6 years Penny has been my dental hygienist. She is the most skillful and gentle I have ever encountered and the only reason, since leaving Avid, that I stayed with the Tewksbury based practice where she works. I trust her more than the dentists to tell me what is going on with my teeth. Sadly, I have been unimpressed with the newer dentists at the practice and Tewksbury is neither close to home or work making it quite inconvenient to reach. Consequently, I will be switching to the practice which handles the rest of the family located one town over in Lexington. Penny and I are the same age, enjoy adventure travel, are still active in sports and have plenty of injuries to show for it. I will miss her and our twice a year conversations and pray that the new practice has someone with half her talent.
