OUTSTANDING<br />
DENTAL HYGIENIST…<br />
Louann Goodnough, RDH, BSDH<br />
Louann graduated from the dental hygiene program at the<br />
University of <strong>Minnesota</strong> in 2001 and has had the honor of<br />
positively affecting the life of many patients. Her daily focus<br />
has been individual patient care and helping patients<br />
understand their dental needs and concerns. Louann has relied on many of her life<br />
experiences to relate to her diverse patient needs and concerns.<br />
Throughout her dental hygiene education and career, Louann has been involved with<br />
the American <strong>Dental</strong> Hygiene Association. Without this association Louann does not<br />
feel she would have the passion for her career which she now experiences. The<br />
MnDHA has aided in the development of her career and helped in clinical situations,<br />
networking, and continuing education. Louann has held many positions within the<br />
MnDHA and is currently the ADHA <strong>District</strong> VII Trustee, a national position. As a<br />
student, Louann was honored to be a delegate at the ADHA annual session where<br />
she was inspired to participate, learn, and grow within the profession. Now when<br />
mentoring students, Louann hopes she is able to give back the same level knowledge<br />
and care that has been given to her.<br />
Louann enjoys road trips and watching old movies with her husband and dogs.<br />
She has also been a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and has participated in<br />
breast cancer and heart association walks. She feels fortunate to provide care for<br />
her patients and to be associated with many wonderful colleagues.<br />
OUTSTANDING<br />
DENTAL ASSISTANT…<br />
Barbara Seidel, LDA<br />
Barb Seidel started her career in dental assisting at Century<br />
College. After graduating, she has worked in a variety of<br />
settings which included the offices of Drs. Franta and<br />
Nelson, Dr. McCarter, Dr. Wilkes, and Dr. Anderson.<br />
In these different settings, Barb has learned a variety of<br />
techniques, many of which were not taught in a textbook. She recalls tapping gold<br />
foil restorations and making hydrocolloid impressions, techniques that are not<br />
commonly used now.<br />
In 1984 Barb moved to the office of Dr. Bomberg in Highland Park and still<br />
works there today. In the 26 years that she has worked there, Barb has taken on<br />
many new responsibilities within the office. She enjoys continuing education<br />
and staying current in the profession. She is also proud to serve in the dental<br />
community and encourages all of her dental assisting colleagues to continue to<br />
learn and to network with other dental assistants.<br />
Barb and her husband have been married for 28 years and have four boys.<br />
She loves sewing, traveling, and camping in her free time.<br />
