When I was a child, I always felt comfortable going to the dentist. I went to a pediatric dentist and loved it. While in high school and college, I worked as a dental assistant for the same pediatric dentist. I enjoyed watching him treat small children in such a kind and friendly manner. He always tried to make it fun for the staff and patients. Today, I am blessed with the opportunity to make others feel the same and I love it. He was my inspiration to become a pediatric dentist and having an appreciative child give me a hug and leave with a smile on their face is the most satisfying part of my practice.
One of my most satisfying cases was when a family brought their eight-year-old son in who had knocked out his front tooth playing soccer.  He was in terrible pain and his family was concerned he might lose the tooth forever.  I was able to re-implant the tooth and stabilize it.  Fortunately, multiple follow-up visits and x-rays later …he still has his tooth and both the tooth and the young man are doing well.
