Team of Hygienists

Hugo

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hugo joined Lansdowne Family Dental with over a decade of experience in the oral healthcare profession. He actually graduated high school thinking he wanted to study mechanical engineering because he liked cars, but his career path quickly changed. After having the opportunity to work in a dental office, he discovered he loved the field.

Originally from Lima, Peru, Hugo earned his education from Northern Virginia Community College. He is married and enjoys working out at the gym, playing football, and studying nutritional science whenever he has free time.

Florentina

Dental Hygienist

Florentina has been working in the dental field for nearly 15 years so far, first joining our team in September of 2019. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Virginia Western Community College with her degree in dental hygiene and also received the Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler Award for clinical excellence! Today, her favorite part of being a hygienist is that the patients entrust her with their health. She loves getting to know them and helping them achieve strong, lasting gums and teeth through education and preventive care.

Born and raised in Romania, Florentina has been living in Winchester since 2004. She and her husband have one grown son. When she isn’t busy at the practice, her favorite hobbies include gardening, sewing, cooking and baking for friends, reading, and taking long, relaxing walks in nature.
