Jennifer, R.D.H., B.S

Preventive Therapist

Jennifer Rooney“I take great pride in my career as a dental hygienist.  Clinically I strive to ensure each client achieves and maintains their oral health goals.  By helping each client understand their current health status, my goal is to educate each client on the cause, effect, treatment and prevention of dental disease, and together with each individual develop a personalized home care program.”

Jennifer not only cares about her clients, but she also enjoys the trusting relationships she builds.  Her education and experience will continue to complement her career as a dental hygienist and a dental health care provider.

In 1993, Jennifer graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.  She excelled academically, graduating third in her class as well as receiving several clinical, leadership and academic awards.  Immediately following graduation, she worked in a small private practice in downtown St. Paul.  After a year and a half, Jennifer felt the need for a more innovative and challenging atmosphere that focused on total quality care. 

In March of 1995, Jennifer discovered a unique opportunity to work with The Gorman Center for Fine Dentistry.  She prefers Dr. Gorman’s practice because of his attention to detail and strong client relationships.  She finds that as a member of Dr. Gorman’s Team, she is able to provide a more specialized and individualized approach to dental health care.

Over the past several years Jennifer has taken on a multifunctional role at The Gorman Center.  She maintains her role as a clinician but spends the majority of her time working administratively with office technology as well as coordinating projects such as the website, photography, Power Point presentations for Dr. Gorman and the community, and filling in as needed in the office.  From 1996 to 2001, Jennifer taught at the University of Minnesota as an assistant clinical professor.

Jennifer and her husband Dean have two young children Caitlin and Brendan.  She also enjoys traveling, home improvement and decorating, gardening, scrap booking, rollerblading, crocheting and most of all reliving childhood with her children.
