      I was raised in Tucson, Arizona most of my life. I attended the University of Arizona and received my Bachelors in Science in the area of Physiology with a minor in chemistry. My pursuit to follow in my father\u2019s footsteps as an oral surgeon led me to continue my career by attending dental school at Case Western Reserve University where I met my husband and bought my first real winter coat and boots. I had a passion of helping people and being part of a community that helps people smile. After finishing my DMD I attended Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY to complete my residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It was here that I gained my knowledge in facial trauma and specialty in wisdom teeth extraction and implants. During all the long hours in school I was still able to squeeze in some yoga classes and some amazing Broadway shows.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        After helping hundreds of different patients over the years, I have seen how tooth and gum problems can affect people\u2019s lives in so many ways. It can affect our sense of well-being and our overall health. It can also affect our confidence and how we interact with others. In my career as a dentist, I have advanced my skill set through continued education to allow myself to provide my patients with the best in comprehensive care. It is my goal to provide each patient with an enjoyable and comfortable experience to help them in any way.

            I take pride in giving back to others especially in underserved areas. As a past member of the International Student Volunteer and Global Brigade groups, I have helped provide free dental care to many underserved areas such as the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras and Samoa.

                    Born and raised in Western Washington, my family moved to Tucson in 2000. Shortly after moving to Arizona, I attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Still, I found myself back in Tucson after receiving my bachelor\u2019s degree. At the time, I was bent on living in cold places and moved to Minnesota to get my degree in dental hygiene. I survived two Minnesota winters and came back to Tucson in 2010 with a new appreciation for the desert and ready to take the dental world by storm.<\/p>

                    My dental hygiene experience includes periodontics and general dentistry. My favorite aspect of dentistry is the variety of people I meet.

                    Hi I\u2019m Ray Helms. I was born in North Carolina, but spent the majority of my life in Arizona. I have two kids, ages 22 and 19.

The place I am most excited to travel to in the future is Germany because I want to experience its cultural landmarks and vibrant cities.<\/p>
