Dr Heather Ronngren

“Growing up in a small town I learned the value of personal relationships and community service. I was fortunate to have the support of friends and mentors, so by the time I graduated high school I was determined to have a profession that gave me the opportunity to provide care and be a leader. My introduction to dentistry was my acceptance into a dental hygiene program. I immediately loved dentistry and was able to offer an experience that changed people’s perception of dentistry in a positive way. Looking back over my career it was a natural progression for me to go on to dental school and be a leader in my profession.” – Dr. Ronngren. Dr. Ronngren practiced in both private and public health settings, taught for two dental schools and a residency program, was president of a local dental society and a member of a state governmental affairs committee advocating for comprehensive integrative oral health care for patients.
