Marlen Jacobs, Hygienist
Marlen has been in the dental field since 1965. Her passion for preventive dentistry was born from working with a periodontist in Northern California. As a result of her experience in that practice, she returned to school to get her degree in dental hygiene. Her passion for helping patients keep their mouths healthy has been a driving force in her career. Additional advanced degree studies in psychology and clinical hypnotherapy have aided her in motivating patients to desire a higher degree of dental health while experiencing less anxiety.
Outside of work, Marlen is involved with her family which includes 5 sons and 8 grandchildren. She enjoys such gardening, crafts, sewing, photography, reading and enjoying the outdoors. Her involvement with church includes grief recovery especially for children. She and her beagles, are co-authoring a series of books helping children deal with difficult grief issues.
