I am passionate about teaching children how to overcome their fears, creating happy smiles and happy patients that will enjoy visiting the dentist for a lifetime. My goal is to make dental visits fun for our patients and their parents from the moment they walk into our office. I am a true believer in prevention and would love to see a world where no child has to ever suffer from dental pain.

Pediatric Airway Dentistry

Sleep plays a crucial role in a child’s growth, development, and overall health. If your child is struggling with a compromised airway they may not be getting enough oxygen.

Preventive Care

Regular dental check-ups, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants help prevent cavities and other dental issues before they start. By establishing good dental habits early, such as proper brushing and flossing, children can maintain healthy teeth and gums into adulthood.

Frenectomies

A frenectomy is a quick and gentle procedure that can make a world of difference for children! By releasing a tight lip or tongue tie, it can improve speech, feeding, and overall comfort, allowing children to thrive in their day-to-day activities.
