Sherrie

Dental Hygienist

Sherrie graduated from Utah College of Dental Hygiene with a bachelors degree December 2016 and joined the Gunnerson Dental Team in May of 2020. What Sherrie loves about her job is that “I’m able to help my patients be more confident about their smile, and at the same time educating them about oral hygiene.” Sherrie chose the dental field because as odd as it sounds, she enjoyed going to the dentist as a child. From experience with her older sister’s fear of the dentist she wants to help all people, especially kids, not be afraid of coming to the dental office. For fun Sherrie travels with family and friends, rides ATV’s, reads and watches movies!
