I chose dentistry because I have a passion for helping and caring for others, especially if they are in pain.  My personality allows me to be extremely empathetic.  Also, my mom instilled the importance of art and creation when I was a child, which goes hand in hand with dentistry.  She helped me develop the dexterity that I have today with the myriad of art and sewing projects she facilitated.  I wouldn’t be a dentist without her positive and artistic influence.

I love meeting new patients and families.  The people of our practice are THE BEST part, hands down.

Floss first and then brush!  Flossing first removes the plaque between your teeth so that you can easily brush it away with your toothbrush.  Most people think it doesn’t matter which you do first, but it does!

When I was growing up, I would go to my dad’s dental office after elementary school and help however I could.  This meant doing exciting things like sharpening pencils, straightening up the reception room, emptying trash cans and licking envelopes.  Once I got a little older, he let me pour up stone models, clean rooms and take some x-rays.  Learning how to take x-rays came in handy when my pinky finger was slammed in our van door and we had to confirm that it wasn’t broken.  Thankfully it wasn’t.

Wolverine.  He has the ability to heal himself, which is amazing. If we had the ability to heal ourselves from disease, the world would be free of pain and illness.  Imagine for a moment how wonderful that could be.
