As a dentist, Im in a unique position to help each patient achieve optimal oral and overall health with a smile that doesnt stop! I love how each patient brings his or herown personality to the office and treasure the friendships that grow between us.

I especially like working with younger patients. Its essential for children to learn why its important to care for their teeth and gums, and the best ways to keep their mouth healthy. Luckily, kids are naturally curious and desire to be independent!

By working one-to-one with my patients and their parents, I provide age-appropriate dental education. I show them how to brush and floss properly. We also talk about developing good habits and the importance of good nutrition. I strive to form a team between my patient, thefamily, and me. Together, we canachieve a lifetime of amazing smiles!

I know its essential to provide dental care in a reassuring, welcoming space, where thepatients knowtheyre safe. By ensuring that every visit goes smoothlyand painlessly, I help people learn that seeing the dentist is nothing to fret about.

Because Sawrie Family Dentistry is a private practice, I set the schedule. I make sure I budgetplenty of time with each patient as I walk them through what well be doing, answerquestions, and proceed at a pace at which people are comfortable. Throughout the visit, I stay engaged with my patients:talking and laughing and providing encouragement.

My commitment to education didnt stop when I received my doctorate. Constant advances occurin dental techniques, technologies, and materials, and its essential that I stay current on these changes. My patients deserve leading-edge care thats comfortable andefficient, and delivers the strongest results. Continuing education helps me exceed their expectations and contributes to the best smiles!

Im an active member of the American Dental Association, Tennessee Dental Association, and Chattanooga Area Dental Society. These organizations offer a range of continuing dental education courses. Im able to learn from the leading practitioners and researchers in the field. In addition, my husband is an orthodontist: I attend a lot of his professional conferences, too!

I grew up here on Signal Mountain and I am thrilled to be a dentistin myhometown! Daniel, my husband, is a localorthodontist. We have three young childrenChloe, Luke, and Maxand two cats, Rosie and Lightning. Outside the office, youll find me with my kids. I love helping at their school and driving them to all their activities!
