Report
Upon graduation from St. Olaf College, I spent two years in Mali, West Africa as a health care volunteer for the Peace Corps. It was during this impressionable journey that I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. My dental degree is from the University of Minnesota. I also earned a Masters of Science degree while completing my pediatric dental residency at the University of Minnesota.

First Visit
Report
We look forward to meeting your child for their first dental appointment. According to the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the first dental visit should occur within six months after the child's first tooth appears, but no later than the child's first birthday. Make it an enjoyable outing - each child that visits us for the first time will receive a new toothbrush!.
Faq
Report
When discussing future dental appointments, we suggest you don't use words such as: pain/hurt, pull, shot, needle or any other words which may by associated with discomfort. It is very important to use child friendly terms and simple explanations when describing dental instruments and procedures. We believe it is important for parents to remain with their children during treatment to offer support.
