Our practice is dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we work. Throughout the school year, certified dental assistants from our practice visit area schools to educate children on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and what to expect when visiting our dental office. We enjoy this time spent with our community children, and the kids have a good time too! We feel that it is very important to teach our children the proper techniques on how to keep their smiles not only beautiful, but also healthy.
