Dr. Henderson is currently serving her second term as President of the Lewis-Clark Dental Society. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Spokane District Dental Society, the Walla Walla Dental Society, and the Lewis-Clark Dental Society. She participates in more than 120 hours of Dental Continuing Education annually.

Her passion for dentistry is evident, she enjoys all aspects of patient care. Dr. Henderson finds it particularly rewarding when a patient begins to understand how important oral health is and they understand the treatment options. "Patient education is a major focus of our practice philosophy. Our goal is prevention-oriented dentistry rather than just fixing individual problems as they occur. With modern dental techniques and equipment we are helping patients keep their teeth for a lifetime. By catching problems early, we can utilize the most conservative treatment possible. We view treatment as comprehensive care rather than focusing our attention on one tooth at a time. We look at each patient as an individual whose overall health is our major concern." Dr. Henderson stated.

Dr. Henderson's hobbies include Dental Continuing Education, cooking, reading, making greeting cards, and spending time with family.
