As you outfit your little one in every piece of safety gear allowable in the sport, make sure you include a mouth guard. They are a crucial part of your childs uniform when it comes to protecting their teeth, gums, lips, tongue, jaw bone, and even a noted protection against concussion.
Above chicken pox, HFM disease, and even the common cold, tooth decay is the #1 disease of childhood. Cavities, decay, and tooth aches account for more missed days of school than any other than any childhood illness.
The reason I became a pediatric dentist is I enjoy taking care of kids. I have 9 nieces and nephews- every time I left a family function I would have 4 on one leg and 5 on the other.Plus, I love being a go-to resource for families.

The reason I became a pediatric dentist is I enjoy taking care of kids. I have 9 nieces and nephews- every time I left a family function I would have 4 on one leg and 5 on the other.Plus, I love being a go-to resource for families. Maybe your child is fearful or anxious, or has special needs, or has a lot of needs that other dentists have been unable to treat. As a specialist, I can take care of all those issues in an environment thats free of fear and anxiety.

I decided to pursue pediatric dentistry as a specialty after returning from West Africa. I knew that working in an environment with children would be incredibly fun and also bring fulfillment. During my pediatric residency, we treated many children in Dallas who had never been taught about the importance of oral health, nutrition and hygiene, and many more who had never been treated by a dentist.As pediatric dentists, we have an opportunity to work with families and help advocate for changes in public health policies to improve the lives of the children around us. Understanding this has motivated me to serve as a child advocate in health policy.
Ive wanted to be a pediatric dentist as long as I can remember! In elementary school I did a science experiment to show how different beverages can decay teeth. My dad is a veterinarian so he supplied dog teeth to test in different kinds of drinks surprisingly orange juice was the worst (even worse than soda)! I love working in pediatrics because I get to be silly with kids everyday! Theres nothing better than making a kid laugh while fixing their precious smile. Kids just make everything so fun you never know what theyre going to say! Im passionate about what I do because I have the opportunity to give my patients a great dental experience, while setting them up for a lifetime of good dental experiences and oral health.
