Maria Cainto Del Castillo, RDH

Maria Cainto Del Castillo R.D.H. moved to the US in 2003. She was a licensed dentist in the Philippines. She was fascinated with the fact that everything starts in the mouth. Maria learned from dental school that the mouth is the dirtiest part of the body. Thus saying so, if you maintain a healthy oral environment, overall wellbeing follows. To complete her dream of becoming a US-licensed dental hygienist, she pursued this degree in a reputable school, New York University where she was given the Colgate’s STAR (Student Total Achievement Recognition) award.

Seeing patients smile has been the fuel that ignited her passion. She has been blessed for a year and counting to be in a place where you see a great deal of transformation, not only in patient’s smiles but in entirety.
