Dr. Christy earned her Bachelors of Science in Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2003.

Prevention of dental caries (tooth decay) is a priority at Southern Illinois Pediatric Dentistry.
Establishing a dental home early is vital to ensuring teeth remain healthy throughout childhood.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children be seen within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth, or by the age of one.
It is at these early visits that we can lay the foundation for establishing good oral health habits for life.
At Southern Illinois Pediatric Dentistry, we are all about preventing dental problems!
If your child is currently a patient of Dr. Christy, you can either call the office or, if after normal office hours, her cell phone at (618) 791-2794.
Dr. Christy will return your call as soon as possible.
1. Have the child bite on some sterile gauze or a washcloth to help stop the bleeding.
The mouth tends to bleed a lot, so keeping pressure on the area is important.
Always remember that a little bit of blood mixed with saliva will make things look a lot worse than it is.
Bleeding should stop or significantly slow down within 5-10 minutes.
There are many changes taking place in a growing child.
One of those changes is of course the loss of primary ("baby") teeth and the addition of permanent ("adult") teeth.
As a part of your child's comprehensive continuing care plan, we will evaluate growth and development of their teeth and jaws at every appointment.
Sometimes minor problems in tooth positioning and alignment can be corrected early in development, possibly eliminating the need for extensive treatment later in life.
While interceptive orthodontics cannot always prevent the future need for full orthodontic treatment, in can help to decrease the severity if minor problems are identified and treated early.
It's very important that your child be at ease at the office.
We also want you, the parent, to be at ease and watch us in action.
Being there with us during treatment also gives you the chance to ask any questions you may have.
We understand that some children, and even their parents, can have some anxiety associated with going to the dentist.
This is why going to a pediatric dentist is important and different than taking your child to a general dentist.
Dr. Christy's additional two years of training allow her to determine appropriate behavior management, as well as offer multiple treatment options.
