Elaine Torres, RDH

A native of the Coachella Valley. My passion in dental grew with my experience in the field. I started off working as a dental assistant in 2006 and later studied part time to become a dental hygienist. I eventually obtained an A.S. degree in dental hygiene at San Joaquin Valley College. My motto is to “provide the best care to others as I would like to have provided to me.” On top of being able to build long lasting relationships with patients, I strive in educating my patients on preventive care in hopes that they can obtain good daily oral hygiene habits. In my personal leisure I enjoy hanging out with my close friends and relatives, going to the movies, attending festivals, hiking up the bump n grind and cross trails, and dancing.
