Michelle Chalfant, RDH
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have been blessed to be with Ferndale Dental Clinic since 1999. I was born and raised in Bellingham, WA, graduated from WWU with a BS in Community Health Education in 1995 and with an AS in Dental Hygiene from Portland Community College in 1997. I am married to Jeff, my high school sweetheart, and we have a sports-loving son, a horse-crazy daughter and a 104 lb. black lab named Gus. In my spare time, I love to garden, travel, be outside in the sunshine, read, exercise, and watch football! I love my job and am convinced that we have the best patients in the world at Ferndale Dental Clinic!
