“I’m definitely excited to be at Healthy Connections and to work in public health and the opportunity to give back to the community,” Head said. “I’ve been exposed quite a bit to the public health side of dentistry. We had to rotate through FQHC’s (Federally Qualified Health Centers) around Missouri, Wisconsin, and Texas. Arkansas has a great need for these services.”

Head’s mother was a doctor but she became interested in dentistry after a family friend, who was a dentist, allowed her to shadow his work in her hometown of Omaha, Neb.

“I’m kind of an artsy, science person and I like to work with my hands. The best field to get into if you like those things is dentistry,” she said. “There is a lot of artistry involved in the work we do.”
