dentistry. In 2003, she graduated from Rock Valley

in Dental Hygiene. While working for over eight years as a
hygienist, Erann decided to go back to school and attended
Northern
Illinois University. She graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s

Angelika is
a Certified Dental Assistant. She graduated from the
Elgin Community College Dental Assisting
Program in 2017 and joined the Celebrating Smiles team in August of
2017. Her skill set and competency are enhanced with her additional
certificates in coronal polishing and pit & fissure sealants. She
is fluent in both English and Polish. She is an active member of
the American
Dental Assistant Association. As a positive and happy person,
she enjoys working and helping patients make their appointments go
flawless. The most rewarding part of her job is knowing that a
patient has walked out of the office satisfied with the dental
services they received. Being a dental assistant is very busy and
demanding work and she loves it! Her favorite part of the job is
the lack of monotony; “there’s always a different tooth to restore,
a different patient to meet, and a chance to improve someone’s
smile and health”. Angelika moved to Chicago from Poland where she
met her husband Pete. They have two lovely kids Julia and Daniel
and are expecting a baby girl. Her whole family enjoys traveling
and exploring the world. She also loves dancing, movies and outside
adventures.
