Vickie Riley attended Fortis College in Landover, MD. Fortis College equipped her with the knowledge and skills that she needed to be successful as a full-time dental hygienist. During her time at Fortis, she saw a variety of patients from different backgrounds that had a wide range of oral health conditions and hygiene needs. Being a dental hygienist is very rewarding to her. She finds that the greatest reward is when she can help a patient achieve better oral health. She educates patients about oral health and disease in addition to providing clinical care. She is passionate about making an impact on improving patients’ lives. Vickie loves the support from Lake Ridge Dental. That patient care is their top priority, which is evident in the treatment and care that is taken with every patient.
