Sandy - Hygienist

Hi, my name is Sandy Sheffler and I have been a registered dental hygienist (RDH) in the State of Maryland, since 1973. I have been working for Dr. Murphy and Associates since 2004. Working in this office is my “dream job”. I am able to help my patients achieve not only dental but overall health as well. In order to do this, a dental office needs to give their hygienists plenty of time to each and every patient. I have established wonderful relationships with my patients and really know how they progress in their efforts to have a healthy mouth and body. One of the tools I’ve had available to me in the last 30 years is a microscope where I can identify the harmful bacteria that causes periodontal disease and tooth decay. I am now working with physicians that work with cardiac patients together we are helping patients with heart disease. We eliminate not only their harmful bacteria but lower their inflammation as well. Both heart disease and periodontal disease are inflammatory diseases.

On a personal side, I have a wonderful adult son and just as wonderful daughter-in-law. They live in Baltimore so I do get to see them often. I have two hysterically funny little white dogs, Sophie and Lucy. They are fabulous companions, both rescues.

I have a vacation house in North Carolina on a lake. I have a boyfriend down there who has a boat and when we can we are on the lake fishing. I love to cook, sew, most crafts including beads and love home improvement projects and home decorating. I have a very happy, full life.

I love being a dental hygienist and hope to see you in the office soon.
