Dentistry has always been a part of LeAnn Hale’s life. Growing up in a dental family—her father was a dentist, so she developed a passion for oral health early on. LeAnn earned her Bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from Wichita State University in 1983 and has worked in dentistry for more than 45 years. She has been an incredible asset to the Accent Dental team since 1997.

One of LeAnn’s favorite parts of being a hygienist—aside from loving her co-workers—is building long-term relationships with her patients. She enjoys getting to know them over the years while helping them improve their oral health and overall wellness through education and personalized care.

She has two children, Lauren and Scott, grandchildren she adores, and a spoiled miniature schnauzer named Crosby. Outside of the office, she enjoys gardening, decorating, and spending time at the lake.

Fun fact: Around the office, LeAnn is known as the “MacGyver” because she’s the go-to person for fixing things.

One of her favorite parts of being a hygienist is seeing her patients every six months and building lasting relationships with them over the years. She enjoys educating patients about the connection between oral health and overall health.

Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, fishing, and watching her children play sports. She also loves the beach, ice cream, and a good Adam Sandler movie. When it comes to sports, she cheers for the Chicago Cubs.
