Naomi earned a degree in Interior Design before going back to school to get her certificate for Dental Assisting. You can usually find her and her family playing recreational sports together, having endless board game nights and taking on fun renovation projects around their home. Naomi loves patient care and organization which is why being the Hygiene Assistant has been so fulfilling for her.

She hopes that every patient feels the same, and looks forward to coming back every time.

I've been a patient of Child Family Dentistry for over 10 years and they're simply the best. The entire staff is kind, friendly and very professional. From the simple to the complex procedures, everyone from the front desk to Dr Child go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable every step of the way. They are like family!

The staff was extremely friendly and walked me through everything they were doing. It was probably the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office. The office staff explained the costs upfront and the care plan. Very impressed!

Just in for a semi-annual cleaning with x-rays and have always had a positive experience thanks to Jessica, the hygienist. I highly recommend Child Family Dentistry if looking for a Dentist and always request Jessica for you hygienist. I recommend the birthday cake teeth cleaning flavor and follow-up with the caramel flavor fluoride.

I enjoy my visits to Dr.Child's office. He and his staff are truly professionals in their business. Customer Service is the 'Best' in dentistry, and possibly a model that should be pattern by all service based businesses. A friendly, welcoming, devoted to you and your health permeates the atmosphere each time I visit or call his office. Dr.Child could also be a minister, for he truly is "A Man of Faith", with a staff of devoted and faithful professionals caring for me. Thank you and your staff, Dr. B. L. Child Dentistry.
