What inspired you to pursue a career in dentistry?

I had an amazing hygienist growing up who made such a big impression on me. She was kind, informative, and made every visit feel comfortable. Her care sparked my interest in dentistry and inspired me to pursue a career where I could create that same experience for others. Now, I strive to make each patient feel at ease while helping them achieve their healthiest smile.

What is your favorite part about helping patients achieve their dream smiles?

There’s something so fulfilling about watching someone gain confidence from a clean, healthy smile. Helping patients achieve their dream smile isn’t just about teeth—it’s about giving them a fresh start and seeing how it brightens their interactions with the world. I also love the relationships I build with my patients along the way. Earning their trust and being part of their journey is incredibly rewarding.

If you could share one tip for maintaining excellent oral health, what would it be?

Here’s my go-to routine: Brush for two minutes after breakfast and before bed, floss every night, and give your mouth a good rinse after lunch to clear away debris. Small habits like these add up to a lifetime of healthier teeth and gums!
