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 />
