Katie Oswald
Dental Hygienist
Katie earned her dental hygiene degree at Youngstown State University, graduating magna cum laude in 2019. Katie was turned onto the dental field by having great experiences as a child and strives to offer that same level of care to each of her patients. She takes great pride in getting to know who is in her chair and giving them all the tools they need to maintain a healthy mouth. Her favorite part about working at Shiflett Family Dental is sharing her workday with other health care professionals that are just as passionate about their role as she is.
Outside of the office, Katie spends time with her husband (Donato), their son (Ashton), and their two Mini Australian Shepherds (Scout and Ollie). She is quite creative and you can find her working on an art project, playing brass sound bowls, collecting crystals, meditating, or doing yoga.
The hygienists are always wonderful and do a great job with cleanings. I always feel informed on what they are doing and why. The office is clean and feels modern. Dr. Shiflett has done a great job with my nightguard and spacer and my TMJ discomfort has been very well managed! I also needed my first filling ever at Schiflett and the whole process was made far less intimidating by Dr. Shiflett and his staff. I’m really happy with this practice.
