Meet Parks and Schmit Team Member, Nicole Bindi

Why did you choose this career?  What brought you to it and what do you like most about it?    
I had to get braces for a 2nd time my senior year of high school.  As you can imagine, I wasn't excited about starting college with braces, but I  had the option of wearing clear brackets and my classmates just thought I was wearing a retainer.  Despite initially dreading the whole situation, I ended up looking forward to my visits to Parks and Schmit.  I  loved that the doctors and staff always seemed to be having fun and enjoying what they were doing.  That is when I decided I wanted to work at Parks and Schmit!

Why Parks and Schmit?  What is different about this office for you? 

There is no other office like ours!  We provide fun, comfortable, state -of-the-art orthodontics in a professional setting.  We treat our patients like friends and deliver the best results around!

What’s your favorite dental hygiene tip for keeping your smile looking great? 

I am a HUGE flossing advocate and I believe that it's all about technique.  Once you pass the floss through your teeth, you're not done! You have to wrap the floss around each tooth and scrape up and down to remove the bacteria under your gums.

What do you do in your free time that allows you to share your smile? 

I love spending time with my family and friends.  I like anything outdoors-y... biking, hiking, boating, camping and live music.  I have a 5 year old Chihuahua/rat terrier mix that loves to go anywhere she can with me and I spoil her every chance I get!

Why did you choose this career?  What brought you to it and what do you like most about it?    
I chose to be a Dental Assistant, because of the assistant at the dental office where I went as a child.  Her name was Maria, and she was great!  She inspired me to want to help people with their fears of dentistry, and take care of people's teeth for their health..

Why Parks and Schmit?  What is different about this office for you? 

Great Doctors!  I truly enjoy seeing the excellent results our patients get when they are finished with treatment.  Their teeth look awesome and the self-confidence that comes with it.  This is what I love about my job.... and, helping others!!

What’s your favorite dental hygiene tip for keeping your smile looking great? 

Eating healthy, brushing 3x times a day and flossing daily.

What do you do in your free time that allows you to share your smile? 

Spending time with my family and friends always makes me smile.  I love to bike ride, hike, walk, fish, read, movies and photography! (Nature photos are my favorite to take!)
