Growing up in the Naples area, Erica knew early on that she wanted to be a dental hygienist; She graduated high school in 2004 and wasted no time perusing her dreams. She was accepted into the hygiene school at Tallahassee Community College, graduated in 2008 and is a Certified Registered Dental Hygienist.

“I have been practicing hygiene for nine years now, and love dentistry because I am given the opportunity to establish relationships and educate patients on why oral care is so beneficial to their overall health. Most of all, it is very gratifying for me as a hygienist to give care to my patients in a calm and comfortable atmosphere that Dr. Valentine provides.  I look forward to meeting you.”

In her free time, Erica enjoys exercising and spending time with her family.
