Leslie — Registered Dental Hygienist

Leslie received her education at the University of Maryland’s School of Dentistry. 28 of her 35 years in the field of dentistry have been spent with Dr. Pupkin. Her responsibilities around the office include providing dedicated care to patients by updating health histories, performing comprehensive exams, and conducting oral cancer screenings, as well as professional tooth cleanings, treating gum disease, evaluating patients oral hygiene and diet, and advising on needed improvements.. She works closely with other members of the team to ensure treatments are tailored to meet each patient’s individual needs.

If she weren’t working with the practice, Leslie would consider working with animals or pursuing a career in forensic dentistry. She enjoys the autonomy she receives through this line of work and is fortunate to work with a talented and passionate group of people. Her dedication to the work is driven by a desire to see people experience confidence in their smiles. 

Outside of the practice, Leslie spends her time with family and friends. She’s been married to her husband, Jeff, for 30 years and they share two children and several pets. She enjoys hiking with her dog, getting lost in a good book, and relaxing on the beach. Leslie also volunteers with an organization dedicated to trapping, neutering, and returning feral cats in Baltimore County, which maintains between 17-20 cats at a time.
