Debbie Freitas, BS RDH joins Dr Benson's San Francisco Dental Practice


I proudly welcome Debbie Freitas, BS RDH as periodontal therapist to my San Francisco office.

Debbie has been practicing personalized periodontal therapy as a dental hygienist for over 17 years. She uses proven principles of soft tissue management to create and deliver a personalized periodontal therapy program that is appropriate for each patient’s teeth and gums. Call us today to schedule a one on one consultation with Debbie so that she can create a periodontal program that is right for you.

Debbie received her RDA in 1984 and later went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene Science in 1992 at UCSF. While at UCSF, Debbie received numerous awards including the Dean’s Special Citation Award, the Clinical Excellence Award, and the Student American Dental Hygienists’ Association (SADHA) Award. She is currently a member of the American, California, and San Francisco Dental Hygienists’ Associations. Most notably, Debbie is one of only twenty-three dental hygienists in the state of California appointed by the Governor to work closely with the Dental Hygiene Committee of California. Debbie utilizes digital x-rays for diagnosis, which significantly reduces radiation exposure to her patients. She also offers warm, scented eye pillows and hand mittens to her patients so that they can relax and enjoy their appointment with her even more. Debbie works as a hygienist because she enjoys people and she enjoys helping them feel better about themselves. I am excited about having her on my team!!
