Alyssa Robie: Registered Dental Hygienist
I live in Candia with my husband, Jake and our daughter, Madeline and our black lab, Buddy.
In May of 2003, I graduated from the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord, NH with an
Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene. In 2005, I got an incredible opportunity to join
Dr. Christian's team and have been with her ever since! I recently completed the required
course hours, passed the Northeast Regional Board exam, and received my license to administer local anesthesia. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching NASCAR,
going antiquing, mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, going to the beach, snow shoeing and most any other activity that involves being outdoors! And of course, Go Red Sox and Go Pats!

I also have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education from the New Hampshire Technical College in Manchester, NH. In 2006, I had a great opportunity to join Granite Family Dentistry's team and have enjoyed every minute. I recently completed the local anesthesia course at Mount Ida College, passed the Northeast Regional Board exam, and received my license to administer local anesthesia. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and rooting for the Red Sox.
Amanda Wlodykla: Registered Dental Hygienist
I am a New Hampshire native who graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 2000. I then became a Wildcat at UNH Durham where I had the time of my life. I attended two years there while taking my general education courses. My junior year I was accepted and transferred my credits to enter Forysth School for Dental Hygienists at Massachusetts School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. I received my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene. There I loved living the exciting fast paced city life but once I graduated I was ready to return to the Granite State. I've since bought a condo and reside in Hooksett. I work half my week at a pediatric dental office and I spend my Thursdays at Granite Family Dentistry. I adore working with children. The greatest feeling of satisfaction is when I have a child in my chair that is a little apprehensive and by the end of the appointment, he/she leaves proud with a big smile on their face and a new toothbrush! It is a pleasure to work with adults as well; I really enjoy the balance of both kinds of patients.
I enjoy getting away and traveling. I have been to Australia, Oahu, Maui, Mexico, the Caribbean and all over the United States. I love being outdoors, especially in the sunshine. I love to surf, swim, ski, hike and camp. I hope to retire someday near the ocean and spend my days as a professional beach bum. My thoughts are to work hard now so you can relax and play even harder later in life. You only get one!
Kelli Purington: Dental Assistant
I have been working at Granite Family Dentistry for the past three years. I love being a Dental Assistant and working with people. I moved to New Hampshire in the summer of 2005 from Arizona. It was a drastic change from the bright sun and warm weather to the tons of snow but I am getting used to it. I moved here to be with by husband, Jason who is a New Hampshire native. We plan on raising a family and residing in Weare. We still get away to Arizona to get some much needed sun in the winter time. On my days off, I like to go to the Nascar races, camp and spend time with family and friends. I am proud to say that I work at Grante Family Dentistry and get to work with some really great people whom have become some of my closest friends.

I am a new member of the team here at Granite Family Dentistry, I live in Kingston where I grew up and graduated from Sanborn High in 2005. I attended Northern Essex Community College where I got my education as a dental assistant and graduated in 2007. I enjoy dentistry very much and look forward to learning as much as I can about it. In my time off I love to listen to the Beatles and cheer on the Red Sox and just came back from the trip of a life time to Liverpool, England where I got to see Paul McCartney in concert!
