Chris Genera
Hygienist
I was born and raised here in Palm Springs, CA. After having my teeth cleaned when I was in middle school, I felt very interested in learning about a dental hygienist. As soon as I graduated from Palm Springs High School in 1986, I went on to complete and receive my license as a Registered Dental Assistant. I worked in Pediatric Dental Offices for 13 years. It was fun working with children and helping them learn about their teeth and how to take care of them.
After working with children, I went on to work in General Dentistry. That is where I learned more about dental hygiene and how much I still wanted to pursue my dream. I went back to school and I am now a Registered Dental Hygienist.
As a Dental Hygienist, I enjoy meeting and caring for people. They become my patients that I assist in maintaining their oral health. I educate each person to their specific needs and always make sure they are comfortable and happy.
After work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family. I am a big Mickey Mouse fan and love to visit Disneyland.
