“Working with children has allowed me to see the wonderment of the world which we sometimes forget. It reminds us to have fun each and every day, that a smile and a kind word goes a long way, and that one small gesture can change a person’s life for the better. Hopefully, my interaction with our pediatric patients has not only provided them with optimal dental health and habits but has also helped them build a strong foundation where they can feel secure and cared for, which will hopefully pay forward for years to come.” Dr. Debbie
