Lori H.

Business Owner

I was born and raised in Gary, IN, 25 miles southeast of Chicago. I graduated from high school in 1972 and attended Indiana University majoring in biology. I worked two summers as a pediatric dental assistant which inspired me to select dentistry as a career. I graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1979 and became a licensed dentist.

In 1981, following my residency training at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, I accepted a commission from the US Public Health Service. The Navajo Indian Reservation became my home and workplace for the next eight years.

In 1989 I moved to Columbia, MO, opened my pediatric dental practice, got married, and started a family. My career in pediatric dentistry has offered more than I could have imagined when I started my training; innovations in preventive oral health, dental materials, digital radiology, meeting wonderful families and watching my patients mature, graduate from high school and bring their children here.
