I believe strongly in empowering patients and their parents to make the right choices to keep teeth healthy. At your child’s appointment, I’ll always lay out treatment options fully, answering questions and providing the information you need to make the right choice for your family.

We’ll also discuss how at-home care, including the food your child eats, affects your child’s dental health.
