What works for one child may not for another, and I enjoy figuring out the right approach for each patient, so they learn how to keep their smile healthy. The best part of working with children, I think, is taking time to explain things in a manner they understand. I often say, And now Im going to count your teeth with the mirror and tooth-checker and show the child what I am using before we start the process.
I really love having the time to sit and talk with patients. I like asking about school and their day, making conversation and watching them get excited to tell me about something theyre passionate about. Its fun to learn who a patient is, personally, and then watch them mature into a young adult with a lifetime of healthy smiles before them.
Dr. Booe chose the dental field when she was in first grade! Her teacher asked the students to draw what they wanted to be when they grew up and explain why they wanted that profession: Dr. Booe drew a dental office and wrote that she liked to see people smile and have healthy teeth. That drawing, and the story attached to it, now hangs in her waiting room and the love of seeing healthy smiles has never left Dr. Booe!
We recognize that all of our young patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs.
