She is a proud mother to a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and also a Pediatric Dentist who you might just see around the office! :) She has 7 grandchildren who she loves to spend time with doing fun activities, especially baking! Dena’s favorite thing to do when she is not working is to go to concerts with her husband and travel. Dena works hard every day to make sure the office runs efficiently and always has the answer to any problem that arises during the workday.

We love Palos Pediatric Dentistry! From the arrival check in with the Insurance Coordinator, Tina, and on ward to the Dental Hygienists, Melissa and Fay, and final check up with Dr. Facko, the entire team are friendly and seem like family instead of the professionals they truly are. My daughters do not have a chance to become nervous and the appointments always run smooth. The dental hygienists and Dr. Facko always explain very clearly what they are about to do and educate the girls on proper dental care and oral hygiene. Thank you Dr. Facko, Tina, Melissa and Fay!
