Ally

Hi, my name is Ally! (Short for Alexandria). I’ve recently graduated high school and found myself finding many interests in the dental field shortly before graduation. I’ve always been an indecisive person and didn’t want to take the big jump to school just yet. So, my first thought was, “What would be better than to see if I can maybe find a job in the dental field, to see if this really is my passion?” And from there on, I’ve been working at Dr. Richard Wilson’s office.

Dr. Wilson and many others in the office have shown me that there is so much love and passion in the dental field. Working in this dental office has been one of the luckiest things that has ever happened to me. It’s taught me that this is my passion, and that I, one day myself, hope to be a dental hygienist.

A little more about myself …

I love volleyball and played for about 6 years. I also like to try to keep up with our Philadelphia sports teams. Especially the Philadelphia Eagles! My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. Especially my little brother! I love taking him places, playing crazy games with him, and watching him grow up. He is my best-friend. My mom and dad mean the world to me, and are the reason I am where I am today. On the weekends, I love to go on adventures, have movie nights, try new foods, and cuddle with my dog!!

Our Dental Assistants

Karysma CambridgeDental Assistant

Hello! My name is Karysma. I’m a dental assistant at Dr. Wilson’s office. Despite my baby face, I’ve been a dental assistant for 10 years. Choosing to be a dental assistant, I have the privilege to help change patients’ lives one smile at a time.

I have the opportunity to have a positive impact on patients’ health by teaching preventive maintenance. Working at Dr. Wilson’s office provides a favorable space to do so. I am so delighted to be a part of this team.

Outside of dentistry I indulge in art, such as painting and drawing. I also love fashion. Anything that involves creativity—I’m for it. Lastly I enjoy reading, mostly historical books, because learning the past will build a better future.

Our Dental Hygienists

Dominique White, R.D.H.Dental Hygienist

Although born and raised in Philadelphia, Dominique graduated from University of Pittsburgh’s Dental Hygiene program in 2016. While Dominique worked as a dental hygienist throughout Allegheny County, she honed in on research skills and later obtained a B.S. in Health Sciences. An interest in the prevalence of Early Childhood Caries (ECC) and public health initiatives in dentistry led her to Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health. Upon enrollment, her interests switched to ambient air pollution, urban greening efforts, and environmental stewardship. In 2020, Dominique graduated with a Master of Public Health degree. Specifically, her Master’s thesis focused on associations between ambient air pollution and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

In this era in which it is so vitally important to gain mastery over dental aerosols and air quality in the private practice, we are fortunate and grateful to have Dominique on our team. Her knowledge base and skill set will be of immense value to you all as we continue to create a safe and healthful office environment in the current continuously evolving situation.

Dominique is a travel enthusiast. Recently, she traveled to South Africa and Lesotho. She plans to visit different regions of the continent on an annual basis. In her spare time, she enjoys writing flash fiction.

Casey Crossan, R.D.H.Dental Hygienist

Hi, I’m Casey! I graduated from Harcum college with a degree in Dental Hygiene and Health Sciences in 2017. I have a passion for getting to know my patients on a personal level and educating them on how to maintain a healthy smile. I also enjoy practicing with our great doctors because they are confident and provide excellent care for our patients. I actually first met Dr. Wilson some years ago, when my Dad coached me, my sister and Dr. Wilson’s daughter Jenna in softball! In my free time I love to try new restaurants, along with spending time with family and friends.
