Lisa Klockenteger, RDHAP Celebrates 10 Years in Business
By Millie Drum
Alternative Practice Dental Hygienist,
Lisa Klockenteger is dedicated to
her mission of “educating and taking
care of the community that surrounds
her practice.” Commemorating her
10th year in practice, she reflects, “This
field has been very good to me. Since
I was 17, dentistry has given me many
opportunities; from dental assisting,
front desk positions, and now treating
my patients and providing education.”
I’ve made an impact on a much needed
concept in dentistry. I’ve treated 3,100
patients; the median age being 48; the
oldest is 102.”
Lisa is actively involved in the state
legislative issues facing Alternative
Practice Dental Hygienists who operate
successful independent practices without
the association with a dentist. There
are only five Alternative Practice offices
in California. The charming office
on the corner of 13th and Vine Street
welcomes individuals of all ages at every
level of their dental cleaning care. Often
visiting an Alternative Practice Dental
Hygienist is the first step to getting
back to visiting a dentist regularly.
Serving as an advocate and educator
for dental hygiene is a benefit for Lisa’s
patients; resulting in the prevention of
problems. She adds, “Our teeth take a
beating in a lifetime. It’s important to
take care of them.” Lisa teaches her patients,
particularly parents, that proper
dental care should be a priority. She encourages
the use of baby toothbrushes
or soft terry cloth to gently clean the
teeth until the child becomes accustomed
to regular brushing themselves.
Lisa is certified to conduct the required
dental exam before children start
school; a perfect opportunity to begin
regular dental care.
A substantial part of Lisa’s practice
involves in-home and on-site care at
skilled nursing facilities for the elderly,
mentally disabled and handicapped
patients; often at their bedside. In addition
to cleaning, Lisa gives her patients
the companionship that’s often
missing for those who don’t have loved
ones nearby; most of whom have dementia.
Lisa adds, “Even in the depth
of dementia, there is still a light in their
eyes.” She’s often greeted with lots of
hugs and “There’s the tooth lady!”
The services provided with the latest
technology include basic cleaning
and scaling, tooth whitening, fluoride
treatment and varnish and preparing
x-rays for the patient’s dentist or oral
surgeon. Visit Lisa Klockenteger, RD-
HAP at 503 13th Street, Paso Robles.

SANCHO’S from page 48
“I appreciate great relationships with
our employees and they’ve developed
great relationships with our customers,
many have become friends we see often
and we know them on a first name basis.
Several come in 2, 3 even 4 times a
week…our regulars know they’ll receive
a great meal with consistent quality.”
A new menu is about to debut to
commemorate 25 years with their long
time favorites plus several new offerings.
Carlos recently changed the decor, with
new colors and a collection
of items on the
walls and ceiling…”as
a twisted Mexican
Restaurant we break
the rules of ‘traditional’
Mexican Restaurants,
not so many sombreros
and sarapes but rather unique displays
with signs, elephants, giraffes, masks,
guitars, bicycles, even a motorcycle
(look up!). You’ll find something new
every time you come in!
We’re going to have
live music in the Banquet
Room during
March with feeds to the
TV screens throughout
the restaurant for other
patrons to enjoy.

we’re planning several 25th anniversary
