Our goal at DeMers Dental is to help all of our patients value their oral health and help them retain their teeth for the remainder of their lives in comfort, function and esthetics. We accomplish this by staying up to date with the most current dental technology, many hours of continuing education, but most importantly listening to our patients. Our primary concern is the patient first and our goal is to make all patients feel like they are heard and appreciated, regardless of their dental situation.

Dr. Erickson is a North Dakota native who grew up near the Turtle Mountains in Bottineau, North Dakota. She attended the University of North Dakota and graduated with Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2006. She then attended Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska where she graduated with her degree as a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2010. She and her husband moved back to the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks area to be near family and friends. They have three children who keep them very busy.
She comes from a medical background and knew from an early age she wanted to become a medical professional. After job shadowing several different medical careers she chose dentistry. Dr. Erickson felt that dentistry was right for her for several reasons. Most importantly, of the many medical fields she observed she felt the dental profession had the privilege of getting to know their patients very well. It also grants practitioners the benefit of autonomy where decisions about treatment are made based on the patients needs and not dictated by a governing hospital or insurance company. Dentistry also provides regular hours allowing her to enjoy more time being a mother and wife. She has a passion for continuing education and travels often to learn the most update information especially regarding comprehensive care including airway, TMD and sleep. She is a visiting faculty member at the Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida and loves to help educate as well.
Dr. Glogoza is a Minnesota native who grew up in the town of Stephen. She started her pathway to dentistry by attending Minnesota State Community and Technical College, where she earned an Associate’s degree in Dental Assisting. She then continued her education at North Dakota State University and received her Bachelor’s degree in Zoology, with an emphasis in pre-health studies. Dr. Glogoza was then accepted at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and graduated in 2023. Dr. Glogoza and her husband, Ben, decided to move back to the area where they both grew up to be closer to family and friends.
Dr. Glogoza gained her interest in the field of dentistry while job shadowing in high school. She quickly came to the realization dentistry was a way to incorporate science, healthcare, and a unique skillset to make a positive impact. She enjoys getting to know her patients on a personal level and looks forward to treating the community for many years to come and ensuring her patient feel their absolute best about their smiles.
