Diane Callier, Dental Hygienist
Diane was born in St Louis and has never left. She spends every weekend with her best friend Jim at their farm. She loves the outdoors, but also enjoys her time indoors creating greeting cards and jewelry. Diane joined our team in 2008 as a temporary hygienist and then became a permanent part time team member in October 2019. She graduated with an Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene in 1989 and later returned to earn her degree in Applied Science as a Registered Nurse. Diane is licensed in local and block anesthesia, along with nitrous oxide administration and CPR. She took a break from full time hygiene and worked two days a week when she was asked to be an examiner as part of a NIH study on Periodontal Disease. Diane did this three days a week and was part of the team that included other examiners from Harvard and NYU. The study lasted for 3 1/2 yrs. She saw this as an opportunity that she could use both her dental hygiene and nursing education and could not say no. Diane strives to make every dental appointment a pleasant experience and shows compassion with all of her patients.
