Mary Lynn Smith
Hygienist
I have been a hygienist since 1994 and part of McPherson Dental Care since 1998. I love caring for patients of all ages. I believe investing time and energy into advanced education is incredibly important in providing excellent care. I strive to use cutting edge technologies that make dentistry better and more comfortable for her patients. My top priority is finding ways to use this knowledge to help patients improve their dental health. “It’s all about giving them customized strategies and treatments. Better oral health helps people live healthier lives.” Mary Lynn has certifications in implant care, laser-assisted periodontal therapy, and nicotine cessation. I am a member of the Kansas Dental Hygiene Association, the American Dental Hygiene Association and the Academy of Laser Dentistry. In 2018, I was honored with the ALD Leon Goldman award recognizing her excellence in laser dentistry. I enjoy being involved in my church and the McPherson Community Theatre, as well as mentoring young people in life skills such as sewing and cooking. I feel every day is a gift and people are treasures!
