Delores Starr, hygienist
Horizon Health Care is pleased to welcome Delores Starr as a new PRN hygienist at Martin Dental Clinic. As a PRN provider, she’ll serve the clinic as needed. She’ll be joining provider Casi Sutherland, DMD, in providing oral health care to the Martin community.
Starr received her bachelor’s degree in science from the University of South Dakota in 1987. Since then, she’s gained over 24 years in dental hygiene and research experience from the U.S. military. Over the years, she’s published several research articles focused on oral health care.
“Good diet choices make a healthy lifestyle,” said Starr. “I want to encourage my patients to pursue good diet choices and good oral health to ultimately contribute to their overall medical health. I’m looking forward to working in the Martin community.”
Starr currently lives in Manderson, SD, and has two daughters and nine grandchildren. In her free time, she enjoys making soaps with local plants and canning local wild fruits. She is currently available for appointments at Martin Dental Clinic Tuesday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
