We believe in conservative and preventative dentistry, and use kid-friendly language to help children understand what we are doing. We believe in working with families to help them develop realistic habits that can promote a healthy smile for life. At Kangaroo Smiles we know how stressful dental treatment can be for both children and parents. For that reason, our top priority is to ensure that you are completely comfortable with all aspects of your childs dental visit.
After growing up in sunny California, I moved to NY to pursue my dream of becoming a dentist. However, after visiting Massachusetts I knew this was home for me. So even though I was not born here, I feel like a true New Englander in my heart.
After dental school, I decided to become a pediatric dentist because I feel passionate about changing the stigma associated with dentistry. I know that if I create a safe, happy, and caring environment for children to receive dental care, then I will have a lasting impact on that childs future. Kangaroo Smiles has always been a dream for me, and I am so happy that I have this awesome environment to do what I love. When I am not at Kangaroo Smiles I enjoy cooking, wood working with my husband, and taking care of my fish!
