Lauren Scalise
Patient Care Coordinator/Social Media Coordinator Hi, I’m Lauren! I am originally from the Finger Lakes region of NY. I started at Milltown as a dental assistant and am now the Patient Care Coordinator/Social Media Coordinator. I love working at Milltown and getting to know the patients and helping them through the process of achieving their dental goals! When I’m not with my Milltown fam, I love spending time with my family and our golden retriever in Emerald Isle, reading, traveling, taking pictures, cooking, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills!
Lety Cruz
Registered Dental Hygienist Hello! My name is Leticia, everyone calls me Lety. I grew up in Mebane, NC but my family is originally from Mexico. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I attended Alamance Community College for two years and after another two years at UNC School of Dentistry I graduated from the Dental Hygiene program in 2022. I have been practicing Dental Hygiene at Milltown since I graduated. Growing up I always loved going to the dentist and hearing my mom tell stories about her experience as a dental assistant, eventually that love grew into a passion for cleaning teeth. Not only do I enjoy helping and educating patients about oral health, but I also always aim to be gentle and compassionate to make patients feel at ease and have a positive dental experience! In my free time I enjoy eating, watching movies, going to the gym, and hanging out with friends & family.
April Brown
Registered Dental Hygienist I joined Milltown Family Dentistry in April 2023. My dental career started as a certified dental assistant and that led to my continued education in dental hygiene. I have worked in the fields of general, periodontal, prosthodontic, cosmetic dentistry for over 27 years. Anyone who knows me has heard me say teeth make me happy! My passion is my job. Seeing patients, educating, and making a difference in their dental experience brings me joy. I enjoy spending time with my two children and our Aussiedoodle. I look forward to girls’ trips with friends, family dinners, festivals, Carolina Tarheel basketball, watching movies, and baking. Traveling to a new state each year and eventually other countries are just a few goals of mine. Fun Fact: When I was around age 5 my mother said that my older brother and his friend had lost their first tooth and were picking on me because I had not. Well, I got missing and my mom went in my room looking for me and saw I had pulled a tooth that wasn’t even loose! She said I was so proud. So, dentistry has always had my heart.

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going for walks with my two lovely daughters, and watching a great movie on a Friday night. Looking forward to meeting you soon!
