Michele Arnold, DDS

It was while Dr. Arnold's brother was in dental school that she developed a deep appreciation for the field of dentistry. She had always been interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare field; however, it was her brother who inspired her to become a dentist.

She realized her direction was imminent after being accepted to the prestigious University of Illinois at Chicago School of Dentistry after completing her undergraduate studies at Northern Illinois University in 1989. She earned her DDS in 1994.

Dr. Arnold has served in the Arlington Heights community for the last 14 years. She has enjoyed the relationships she has developed over the years with her patients. Choosing to join Associates for General Dentistry has proved to be a perfect match. Not to mention, she has turned out to be a valuable member of the team. She points to the sense of camaraderie that exists among the entire staff at AGD as one of the best aspects of being in the office.

While Dr. Arnold proclaims to enjoy every aspect of her career choice, she holds a particular affinity for cosmetic dentistry. The improvement it can offer to a patient's smile, as well as improve their self esteem, provides Dr. Arnold with a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Arnold enjoys traveling, shopping, and staying fit. Also, she is an avid animal lover and supports many charitable organizations that support animal welfare.

Dr. Arnold's Health Tip: "Be aware that many medical health issues can be diagnosed with regular dental maintenance."
