Client Success Stories
Tama has helped me grow professionally and personally. She has helped me navigate through many different challenges in my career and I’m grateful for the growth that I’ve made because of her guidance! She has taught me that change isn’t always bad, and to accept it. She truly is a great mentor and I’ll be forever thankful for her!
I had the privilege of working with Tama for 2 ½ years. My office did not have a perio program and had patients with unidentified periodontal disease. Tama educated our hygiene staff, encouraged us and supported all our hygienists while we made transition of updating perio charts, FMX’s and having discussions with our patients about their gum health. Tama’s kind, caring, encouraging and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She made what seemed like a very daunting experience into a very positive one. Tama helped make me a better hygienist! This made me truly emotional to write. We miss you Tama.
Favorite quote: Julie, you can do this, I’ll help you!” “Tama always encouraged us to take a deep breath and do our thing with updating perio charts and FMX’s. She taught us to believe in ourselves and had our backs no matter what. She went to bat for us and stood in and helped us before we had a hygiene assistant. I could go on and on, but she really gave me the confidence to be a better hygienist and learn new things. Using fluoride varnish on adults, SCRP (had not done much of this in our practice), new patient charting, and using the Velscope. Having hard conversations with patients about periodontal disease and staging and grading gum disease.
Working under the mentorship of Tama has been the high point of my career as a dental hygienist! Her personal background across the board in the dental office, combined with her experience as a career hygienist, makes her the perfect go to for all aspects of dental hygiene. I have continually been impressed with the elevated excellence of her patient driven care and extensive grasp of the ever-changing dental codes. She has given me the tools and simple references that I need to personally elevate my patient care, while maximizing my practice’s profits!
Tama has been a great mentor for me since I met her. She is very Knowledgeable at what she does and shows appreciation and gratitude for what we do. I can tell she really cares about her job and truly wants us to strive in our career to be better at what we do. I am grateful for her.
I sincerely enjoyed working with Tama Martello! She is such an inspiration to all! She strives to help in every way possible no matter what time of day! Having her as my leader has been exceptionally impactful on my career!
I am a more “seasoned “ dental hygienist and Tama helped tremendously with new coding and grading of periodontal disease. She also taught me how a person’s medical health was very important to their overall dental health! She changed our office from a “prophy palace” to the correct periodontal care our patients needed!! Tama truly is a gem!
I was lucky enough to shadow Tama when she mentored hygienists in several offices. Watching her teach them about standard of care and just everything to do with how to properly treat patients, was such a great experience for me. Seeing how much passion she had for dental hygiene reignited me in my role as a hygienist!
In my 10+ years of being a dental hygienist I have never worked with someone more reliable, knowledgeable or willing to go above and beyond for her dental hygiene team! Day or night Tama has ALWAYS been there to answer any dental question or concern I've ever had. Hands down the best dental hygiene consultant out there!
