Meet Tasha, our New Dental Hygienist and Full-Time Smile Maker

Tasha Stewart, RDH

Meet our newest addition to the Hale Family Dentistry team, Tasha! She may be new to the team, but she’s not new to the dental field. Tasha has been a practicing dental hygienist for nearly seven years. A native of Gary, Indiana, she moved here in 2011 to attend Indiana University. She boasts that “Dentistry chose me,” and we’re so happy it did!

You will rarely find her without a smile. She brings light and energy to the dentist’s office with her sense of humor and welcoming personality. She is a perfectionist in her work, and perfection is a great skill to have in dentistry. She loves meeting new patients and sharing her robust knowledge of oral care. She has a very gentle technique that will make you feel refreshed after every cleaning.

Her passion for educating patients about oral care inspired her to continue learning. Tasha is currently pursuing a master’s degree at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Her goal is to be a thought-leader in educating others in public healthcare, including the dental care she knows so well. She stays up to date with the ever-changing dental research by participating in continuing education events hosted in Indiana and Fort Wayne.

In Tasha’s spare time (which is a rare find), she enjoys painting, skating, shopping, and participating in the fellowship with her church. She is happily married and has five children. She refers to her son as a prince and her four daughters as princesses, and deservingly so. She is most proud of her large family, and we salute her for all the hard work she does in the home and in the workplace, too.
