Meet Dr. Michelle L. Slezewski
I find it rewarding to help children stay healthy and I love showing them that dentistry can be fun. Knowing that I have played a role in shaping the smiles of my young patients is the best part of my job. I believe that every child deserves to experience a healthy smile. Each child I meet is unique and brings something special to the practice. It is fun getting to know my patients and see them grow up into successful, healthy young adults.
My team is amazing. I am fortunate to have a staff, from the front desk, to the assistants and hygienists, who are committed to providing quality care in a fun environment. They enjoy working with the patients and like to hear them talk about the activities that they are involved in and what they are learning at school. Their hope is that the experiences our patients have in our office will encourage them to care for their teeth now and as they grow into adulthood.
