Allison – Registered Dental Hygienist

Allison earned her degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and has been working in dentistry since 1989. With over 25 years of experience in periodontal care, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our practice. She joined Dr. Pupkin’s team in 2025 and loves being part of such a warm, friendly environment where the team works together like family.

As a dental hygienist, Allison is responsible for assessing patients’ oral health, performing intraoral and extraoral exams, identifying gum disease and decay, treating periodontal conditions, and educating patients about maintaining optimal oral health. She finds great fulfillment in working one-on-one with patients and helping them achieve healthy smiles that benefit their overall well-being.

Outside the office, Allison enjoys spending time with her two children, Matthew and Danielle, and cheering them on at their sporting events. She loves traveling, reading, and relaxing with a good Netflix series when she gets the chance. While life is busy raising her kids, she finds time to volunteer with Weekend Backpacks to help pack lunches for children in need in Baltimore city schools. Her favorite motto? “Life is too short—so do what makes you happy!”
