Dentistry near Monroe, NC

Biography: I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine diploma from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 2012. In 2014 I completed the Pediatric Dental Residency program at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and received a Certificate of Residency in Pediatric Dentistry along with a Master of Science degree in Dentistry. Upon completion of schooling and residency in Philadelphia & Richmond I opened All Kids Pediatric Dentistry in Charlotte to help every child possible receive the best oral health education and treatment possible. I am a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Academy, the North Carolina Dental Society, the North Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentists and as well as a board candidate for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. My research has been published on the subject of chemotherapy effects on tooth enamel for which I am a recipient of the 2014 3M ESPE Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children research fellowship grant. I truly believe a pediatric dentist can positively affect a child's life by introducing good oral hygiene at an early age, along with preventing tooth decay which can be difficult to address later in life. Children thrive when they have a great oral health foundation. Prior to attending dental school I lived in Charlotte; working as a hygienist in a pediatric dental office. That is where I learned there is so much joy in helping kids. I also fell in love with the city - so much so that I named my daughter Charlotte! I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, along with extended family. I also enjoy diverse food, travel, culture and I'm always happy to share experiences from my early life in Peru - so if you ever want tips on travel there, just ask!
