Kate
Hygienist
Kate was raised in Littleton, NH at a time when there was only one stop light in town. She attended New Hampshire Technical Institute for three years and began her dental hygiene career in Lincoln, NH. Kate enjoyed her twenties in Lincoln, where she met her husband, Nate. Their names rhyme...it was meant to be. Kate received her Bachelor's degree in Pre-Dental at Plymouth State University in 2006, the same year she was married. Kate is a mom of three children and loves it! She enjoys hiking, snowshoeing, and long walks, especially if these activities involve her family. Kate also really enjoys talking about flossing...she can't help it, she loves her job!
Kim
Hygienist
Kim has been in the dental field for over 25 yrs. She began her career on the beautiful island of Oahu, volunteering for a Red Cross discovery program focused on Dental Assisting. From there, she took her training to a private practice in Honolulu. It is while working there, she decided she wanted to experience “college life”, so she packed up her swimsuit and moved back to NH (so cold) to attend NHTI’s Dental Hygiene program. After practicing for several years, Kim returned to NHTI to obtain her certification to administer local anesthesia. Kim has resided in Sanbornton for 20+ years, where she has built a crazy, beautiful life with her husband and their three very active children. When the calendar allows, she enjoys decorating, theater, running (she has participated in a few Reach the Beach Relays and run a couple half marathons), hiking, and the beach
life, spending as time as possible in Wells, ME during the summer.

Marcie
Hygienist
Hello, I'm Marcie Demers, a Dental Hygienist with a passion for oral health and patient education. Currently residing in the picturesque town of Gilmanton, NH, I've been practicing dental hygiene for two decades.
Originally hailing from Loudon, just south of the Lakes Region, I made Gilmanton my home 20 years ago, where I live with my husband of 23 years and our youngest son. Our eldest son is a Marine and lives in North Carolina. We are so proud of him! I take great pride in my profession, and my commitment to providing thorough cleanings is matched only by my dedication to educating our patients on maintaining optimal oral health.
Beyond the dental office, my heart is with my family and friends. The bonds we share and the moments we create together are precious to me. Having grown up on a farm, I developed a deep appreciation for animals. I'm particularly fond of pigs; their unique charm captures my heart.
When I'm not immersed in the world of dentistry, you'll likely find me reveling in the joys of warm weather. As someone who cherishes anything above 40 degrees, I eagerly embrace the opportunity to bask in the sun. Whether it's lounging by the pool or enjoying the tranquility of the lake, I believe that every warm day is a gift to be savored.
Thank you for allowing me to share a glimpse into my life, both personally and professionally. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and share more about the things I hold dear.

We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!
- Kari Scott
They are the BEST!! Been taking my son there for a while now and he loves it...he had a small procedure done there not too long ago and she was Amazing with stating everything she was going to do slowly and clearly right down to how it was going to feel to him which help his anxiety tremendously...Keep up the good work Winnisquam Dental we love your work! Great place for Children or Anyone!
- Jennifer Karl
From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!
- Meg White
The folks at Winnisquam Dental are so friendly, professional, and dedicated to what they do! Kate has been cleaning our teeth for years & we just adore her! Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
