Ms. Christina Hancock, Hygienist

My name is Christina and I have been a dental hygienist for 7 years. I earned my hygiene degree at the University of South Dakota. I have worked in general dental practices in Rapid City, SD, Minneapolis, MN, and Hornell, NY. I have also worked in a periodontal practice in Minneapolis, MN. I love being a hygienist and find it rewarding working with people, educating and helping them with their oral health.

I am originally from Hornell, NY, but grew up a military “brat”. I have lived in various places, including Florida, the Carolinas, South Dakota, and the United Kingdom.

My hobbies include reading, traveling, and scrap booking. Most of my time ,however, is spent with my husband and raising our adorable children, Kaylynn and Lucas.

I look forward to a long and happy career here at Dansville Family Dental Care. I appreciate Dr Teachouts vision of her practice as having quality dentistry in a caring environment. That's what dentistry should be about.

Ms. Cindy Cartella, Office Manager

Hi! My name is Cindy. I’ve been Dr Teachout’s office manager since the opening of the practice here in Dansville.

I am a native of Hornell, NY and began my dental career with the American Red Cross while my husband was stationed (US Air Force) overseas. After completing dental assistant training, I worked with the American Red Cross volunteering over 2000 hours and then training future dental assistants.

Since returning to the States, I have worked with several wonderful dentists as an expanded duty dental assistant, financial officer, and office manager.
I am happily married and am the proud mother of three beautiful daughters.
I feel fortunate to work in such a great practice. Not only is Dr. Teachout and my co-workers such great people, but we have such wonderful patients, also. We strive to make coming to the dentist a pleasant experience and hopefully play an important part in the lives of our dental patients.

Ms. Terry LeBar, Dental Assistant

My Name is Terry LeBar. I was in the banking business for ten years. I am now a dental assistant for Dr Teachout. I thoroughly enjoy this profession and plan on furthering my career here as much as possible. 

I have two wonderful children, who keep me very busy.  When not busy with them, I enjoy hobbies such as jewelry making, gardening, and almost any other craft.

I plan on being with Dansville Family Dental Care for many years to come.

Mr. Brian Teachout, Operations Manager

Hello, I'm Brian Teachout the Doctor's husband. I have lived in Dansville all my life except for my college years. My parents and grandparents are also from Dansville. Rose and I met thru a mutual friend and my life has not been the same from that day on (In a very wonderful way!). Rose and I were married in Oct. of 1999 and I/we were blessed that she wanted to make Dansville her home also. We started this practice in July of 2001, it was one of the best experiences, learning about all the Dental techniques, equipment, construction and the technology!.

During the Day (for the last Thirteen plus years) I head up a Mechanical Engineering Dept. at a company in Scottsville, plus manage our Document Control Dept. We also purchased a like company in England, so I'm setting up the same Departments over there to run like ours here.

I have been in management for many years now and I believe it has been great background for running the administrative parts of this office. Some of my duties are; All business related items, paying the bills, Payroll,  the maintaining of and set-up of the computers/software/digital imagery etc., mechanical maintenance (Cindy's husband Mike helps out also), advertising, donations etc, etc.

We really have great people working here, finding the right people is not easy. We are very selective as to who works here for many reasons, but mainly to make sure your visit is the best experience you have ever had in a Dental Office.

I tend to ramble, so to finish up, I can tell you one thing. You will love my wife, not only is she very educated in her profession, she is a very real person, and that's what you will get, a real genuine nice person who knows what she is doing. She would never tell you, but check out "About Dr. Teachout" section. She is known around the world for her expertise in caring for the Developmentally Disabled.

Ramble I know, Take Care and hope to see you at our office some day!!
