Sara
Registered Dental HygienistMy name is Sara Sestito and I graduated from University of New Haven in 2004. I was inducted into the Sigma Phi Alpha Dental Hygiene Honor Society. As a child I always knew I wanted to be a dental hygienist due to the positive experiences I had going to the dentist where my mother worked for her whole career. Through kindness, patience, and education, it is my goal that every patient understands how to improve the health of their mouth. I am passionate about dental hygiene and enjoy educating patients about the oral-systemic health link.
In my spare time I love spending time with husband, daughter and son. I enjoy working out, listening to country music, and spending time outdoors.
