I don’t remember hearing a lot about dentistry as a profession while I was growing up. The most I knew about it was that you had to have your teeth cleaned every six months or so, and if you got a cavity, you had to have a filling. I remember that the family dentist we went to was really good. I never recalled any bad experiences going to our dentist. I called him and asked if I could come by to see what his days were like. I spent a few weeks with him, ‘kicking the tires’ of my possible dental career, seeing if it was something I could dedicate myself to, and I did.

Whether it’s bringing in the latest proven techniques for advancing patient care, or making time to network with and support fellow dentists in our community, I am pleased to be a part of Coastal Jaw Surgery’s investment and commitment in the dental health of this region.
