Waiting to help you with your anxiety

Kathleen

Certified Dental Assistant

Our patients are some of the best people in the world. It’s a pleasure to get to know each person and learn what’s important to them. I am especially passionate about helping people with dental anxiety: when someone realizes a visit here is painless and tells us they’re looking forward to coming back, I’m thrilled!

I work in the clinic, making sure patients are comfortable in the chair, preparing them to see the doctor, and explaining what we’ll be doing. I stay chairside, assisting the doctor with the procedure and at the end answer questions and offer homecare instructions.

I’ve lived in New Smyrna Beach since 1974. Outside of work, I enjoy being with my two American Fox Hounds and horseback riding. Each year I go to Alaska to visit family.

Lorrin Mitchum, CRDH

Registered Dental Hygienist

I was born and raised in New Smyrna Beach. I'm privileged to be able to work in the town I grew up in. I followed in my family's footsteps: my grandfather, Dr. Grabiak, was a dentist in New Smyrna Beach. My mother, Brenda, was his hygienist. I knew I always wanted to be in a career that helps people with their smiles.

As a hygienist, I love to work with each one of my patients individually to help them keep up with or improve their oral health. Along with the cleanings, I also focus on diet, nutrition, and go over the many dental products and tools available to help my patients.

When I'm not working I'm either at the beach, at CrossFit, traveling, or spending time with my family, friends, and English bulldog, Cora.

Shannon North, CRDH

Registered Dental Hygienist

I am a native to Florida who was born and raised in DeLand, now living and loving NSB for the last six years. I am the newest member of Kilman Dental and it has been a wonderful transition. I am so proud to be a part of such and amazing team.

As a dental hygienist, I have the opportunity to work closely with each patient and develop better dental health, as well as personal relationships. I focus on treating dental health as a whole, which includes nutrition, overall health, and various treatments.

In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and friends. I am a proud mother of an amazing daughter who is a recent graduate of the University of Florida. Go Gators!

Maria

Office Manager

I joined the dental field in 1978, beginning as a dental assistant, completing my expanded duties certifications, and now transitioning to the front desk as a scheduling coordinator. I am here to assist patients with all their administrative needs, from appointment scheduling, collecting payments, answering phones, and reviewing treatment plans to greeting everyone who walks through our doors with a smile.

I have two daughters who live in Philadelphia, and I enjoy visiting them when I can. I moved from New Jersey to Florida about a year ago, mostly because of the outdoors and all the fishing opportunities!

Kim

Certified Dental Assistant

I’ve been a certified dental assistant for more than 30 years and enjoy educating and treating patients of all ages. Nothing better than having a patient give you hug and words of appreciation after an appointment they so dreaded.

I have been married for 25 years to a great guy; together we have an amazing son who is a recent Stetson University graduate. My family is my everything and we spend quality time together and often as possible. I enjoy being outside gardening, boating, fishing, shopping, and of course our yearly trips to the Keys. Life is REAL GOOD!
