Born in Oregon, Dr. Burk developed his love for hard work and learning from his parents. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Public Health at BYU and then moved on to OHSU to complete his dental training to become a general dentist. Following graduation, Dr. Burk had the opportunity to work as an associate in a pediatric practice before finding his home at The Kids Dentist and Orthodontics. A kid at heart himself, Dr. Burk loves using his talents to help children enjoy coming to the dentist! His combination of fun and professionalism allow children to feel comfortable while their dental needs are met - setting them up for a lifetime of good dental habits.
Dr. Burk is happily married to the love of his life, Abby, and they stay busy with their three kids. In his free time he enjoys playing sports and spending time in the outdoors that Idaho has to offer! He loves the open skies, sunsets, rivers and lakes, and is happy to call Idaho home.
'Dr. Rebekah Goforth was born in Boise. Although her family moved to North Carolina when she was a child, they always kept the Treasure Valley in their hearts. When she was ready to settle with her family, they decided to call Treasure Valley home. Always attracted to the mountains, Dr. Goforth attended Appalachian State University, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the east coast, where she graduated with honors with a major in biology and chemistry. Afterwards, she attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, where she served as the president of the dental school 's student body, followed by an orthodontic residency while earning her master 's in oral biology from the University of Tennessee. Her husband 's career in obstetrics and gynecology moved her family to Baltimore, Maryland, where she practiced orthodontics in a private practice. As a tribute to her commitment to excellence, she is among the 33% of orthodontists nationally that are board certified. She enjoys making smiles and giving back to her community and her profession, and she teaches orthodontic residents and practicing orthodontists alike at the Tweed International Orthodontic Foundation. In her free time, you can find Dr. Goforth spending time outdoors with her husband, her son and her dog. Her favorite indoor activities include painting, knitting, writing and reading. She enjoys eating good food and trail running in the foothills to compensate.

We love the Kids Dentist! Everyone who works here is incredibly kind and patient. They make my toddler feel so comfortable. When we first started coming to the Kids Dentist, my son was very nervous about dentists. Now he looks forward to going to his checkups! Dr. Burk is awesome. 100% would recommend.

My kids had a great experience with kind and reassuring staff along with a welcoming play area for them to hang out as needed. The staff and Dentist were extremely helpful, answering any questions I had, and providing options for me with explanations to support those options. I'm excited for this to be my kid's regular dentist.

I have to stay, my experience at The kids dentist and orthodontist was amazing. I was a little nervous as it was my son's first dentist appt and I didn't know what to expect. The staff was very welcoming as well as knowledgeable. They took there time with my son as he was scared and answered any questioned I had. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
