You were born in Cincinnati, graduated from dental school at The Ohio State University, then completed your pediatric dental residency right here in New Orleans at LSU.
That's quite a change for a midwestern girl.
Tell me a little about how you ended up in The Big Easy.
My husband and I met in Ohio.
We came down here to check out the program and knew right away this was going to be our home.
That was almost ten years ago.
Both my kids are New Orleanians now.
Guess that means we are, too.
With all you have going on, I'm sure it's difficult to keep up with the latest advancements and fancy new gizmos in the field.

Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age.
Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive.
If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.

Our office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience.
Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are more awake, and we can work more slowly with them for their comfort.
School children with a lot of homework should be seen in the morning for the same reason.
Dental appointments are an excused absence, and missing school can be minimal when regular dental care is scheduled.
Since appointed times are reserved for each patient, we ask that you please notify our office at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you must cancel.

The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
The very young, pre-teens, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.

Some children are given nitrous oxide/oxygen - or what you may know as laughing gas - to relax them for their dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is a blend of two gases, oxygen and nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide/oxygen is given through a small breathing mask which is placed over the child's nose, allowing them to relax without putting them to sleep.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recognizes this technique as a very safe, effective technique for treating children's dental needs.
The gas is mild, easily taken, and it is quickly eliminated from the body and it is non-addictive.
