Ever since my days as a tutor in high school and college, I have had a passion for education and for helping children. I began my path to pediatric dentistry in college at the University of Buffalo, where I worked as a volunteer dental assistant until my graduation in 2002. While assisting dental students with patients, I found I loved engaging the children in the pediatric practice. Even today, I find nothing more gratifying than providing comfort and smiles to children.

There is no greater honor than being able to bring happiness and comfort to a child. I am fortunate to find a profession that allows me to express my artistic talents every day, and at the same time, enjoy the wonderful and silly things our children say and do. Children absorb everything around them. Being able to educate them and watch them grow in front of my eyes is truly a special gift. In pediatric dentistry, I have found a vocation that lets me help our children grow in a meaningful way.

I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the State University of New York at Buffalos School of Dental Medicine and completed my general practice residency from Stony Brook University Medical Center, where I was able to work with children and patients with special needs. Through my education and training, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue multiple outreach opportunities. Providing dental care to the underprivileged of the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean Islands has molded my understanding of the need to build trust with children and how to allay their fears and worries.

In my passion for dentistry, I wanted to focus specifically on providing children and teens with high-quality dental care in an atmosphere of trust and compassion. To that end, I completed an Advanced Education Program in Pediatric Dentistry from New York University College of Dentistry. I am honored to be Board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. My unique combination of education and experience enables me to provide outstanding care for infants, children, and adolescents in a family-friendly environment.

Currently, I work for Bon Secours Virginia Health System at Bon Secours Pediatric Dental Associates as a Pediatric Dental Attending: Associate Clinical Attending. I have the privilege of providing both clinical and didactic to 8 residents and I have privileges to see patients at St. Marys Hospital and St. Francis Hospital.

I am a lucky mother of three children, whom I am raising in beautiful Richmond, Virginia. I love living in the Richmond area, with its appreciation for great food, beautiful parks, and museums, and for its gorgeous weather. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer with my two rambunctious boys, drawing and painting with my creative daughter, baking treats for family and friends, traveling, trying new restaurants and watching movies with my supportive husband.

All of the staff were so kind and welcoming! This was my 2 year olds first visit to the dentist and I was nervous of how he would cooperate, but they eased him through the entire process. I was very impressed of how quick and painless this appointment was. I would definitely recommend this practice!

Midlothian children's dentistry has been nothing short of amazing since the first time we stepped through the door. Coming in, my daughter needed extensive dental work at not even five years old. They handled everything with the utmost care and have continued to take care of her since. She is now six and has had cavity free visits since her first visit. Thank you to Midlothian children's dentistry for being so awesome! Charly loves to come to see y'all!!!

This was the best place to bring my toddler to our first with Midlothian Childrens Dentistry. They were so friendly, helpful, quick yet efficient, and so much more than I was expecting. I was nervous being that it was my toddlers first time as well as she does not like anyone looking into her teeth, the doctors and staff were amazing and reassured me that I was in great hands. I felt comfortable and I will definitely recommend anyone that needs a new pediatric dentist because we will for sure be back. Thank you to the staff and dentist we saw today, I wish I was young enough to come to this place myself!

My 5 year old was a nervous wreck, completely melting down and Natalie and Dr. Lusk handled him like a champ! They were seriously the best at talking him through it, calming his nerves and accommodating him to make it work. Would not go anywhere else with my children. MCD is the absolute best with nervous kiddos!

Can't say enough about this place. Bridget was kind enough to get us in for a last minute opening and made my kiddos day with the bubbles at the front desk. Techs and dentist were great and so fast. Definitely recommend

I bring my 3 young kids to Midlothian Children's Dentistry and I've been nothing but impressed! The entire experience from the front desk to check out has been wonderful. Even my kid with anxiety and sensory issues has done exceptionally well. I feel at ease that I can watch the hygienists and dentists handle the process.
