As a pediatric dentist, my goal is to not only treat dental disease, but also to educate my patients about the importance of good oral health. Growth and developmental problems, nutritional considerations, trauma prevention, infant oral health, and fluoride supplementation are just some of the issues that a pediatric dentist addresses frequently.
Through a patient and gentle approach, I try my utmost to help alleviate any fears or concerns a child may have about visiting the dentist. Ultimately, it is my continuing goal to help children develop a positive, life-long attitude about taking care of their health.
I am honored to be an advocate for the oral health of children. I routinely see patients starting at the age of 1 all the way through the teenage years. It is a privilege for me to live and work in a community filled with excellent health care professionals willing to assist me to provide the best care possible to all our children.
When I’m not at work, you can usually find me enjoying family life with my wife, Stephanie, and our two energetic boys! We like to go camping, playing sports, and going on secret agent adventures!
