About

Dr. Carratt grew up in Enumclaw, WA, and began her dental career as an assistant. At the time, the dentist she worked for treated her patients like family, and this environment inspired her to go back to school to become a dentist. She completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Washington. She then went on to Midwestern University to earn a Master of Arts in Biomedical Sciences. She received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine at Roseman University of Health Sciences, which awarded her the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Predoctoral Award. She also received the Distinguished Clinical Excellence Award, Distinguished Professionalism and Ethics Award, and the Distinguished Lifelong Colleague Award. She is also a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the Dental Honor Society, and the American Dental Association.

She is a lifelong learner and strives to stay current in all aspects of dentistry through continuing education courses. She has completed a nine-month course through the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. She is a Board Certified Associate Fellow with the AAID. She has continued the same quality of care as a dentist, determined to treat her patients as a family, valuing the relationships she builds along the way. When not at the office, you’ll find her outdoors — hiking, fishing, camping, or snowshoeing with her husband and son.

  • How long do teeth hurt after scaling?

    The length of healing time after scaling depends on the severity of periodontal disease. Some cases are slight others are severe, Ibuprofen is a great anti inflammatory and warm salt water rinses help too. Even though you are sore the cleaner you can keep things the faster they will heal, a Waterpik is a great tool for someone fighting periodontal disease, just start on a low setting until it is more comfortable.

  • What causes a person to have a geographic tongue?

    It is caused by your immune system, and typically only requires treatment if you have pain. Severe geographic tongue can give a burning sensation that is treated with a steroid. READ MORE

  • Can a tooth get infected under a bridge?

    Yes, crowns and bridges only protect the teeth from fracture and replace missing tooth structure. The margin of the crown/bridge (typically at the gumline) is vulnerable to decay which can lead to infections of the nerve. All natural teeth are also vulnerable to periodontal infections which involve the ligament around the tooth. READ MORE

  • What should I eat after scaling and root planing?

    You shouldn’t have any limitations eating after a deep cleaning, just be careful if you are still numb not to bite/burn yourself. READ MORE

  • How do you close a gap in your teeth without orthodontics?

    You can get composite (tooth color filling material) or porcelain restorations to close a gap without orthodontics. READ MORE

  • Can I use mouthwash 1 week after extraction?

    You can use mouthwash after your extraction but you only want to let it gently move around your mouth, vigorous swishing can dislodge your blood clot that is protecting the extraction site. Also warm salt water is better than mouthwash if you are getting a bad flavor- alcohol in mouthwash can dehydrate the healing soft tissue. READ MORE

  • How can I fix a dry socket at home?

    If you have dry socket your dentist will likely want to see you in person to assess the site for infection, but in rare instances where you can not make it in to the office you can try to re-establish a new blood clot yourself. It is important to only disrupt the site with a clean object, you only need to creat a minimal amount of bleeding. If your dentist has given you sterile gauze you should apply pressure once the site has begun bleeding. If you are not experiencing any pain you do not need to disrupt the site at all, just keep the socket free of food debris. READ MORE
