I grew up in a suburb of Baltimore, MD, and moved to Florida with my family in 1993. I have been happily married to my wife for 12 years and counting, and we have three daughters and a son all under the age of 10.

I have experienced a lot of dental treatment in my own life including third molar extractions, a cumbersome orthodontic headgear that I had to wear at night, and even an emergency molar root canal that I had to have done when I cracked my tooth in high school while eating a Kudos snack bar. Through all the various dental treatments I have experienced, I would agree that I have always had positive experiences while visiting the dentist, and so I was called to the profession to help others have good dental experiences in their own time of need.

Patients frequently ask me for recommendations on various dental related procedures and products, but the best recommendation that I could give to anyone is not to wait for dental pain to set in before you have a complete dental exam. Your mouth is much like your own vehicle, and so you should not ignore your mouth much the same way that you would not drive your car forgoing all the necessary vehicle maintenance until it breaks down leaving you stranded by the side of the road. Unfortunately, I see a lot of patients that come to our clinic who might otherwise have been able to save their tooth earlier on with a more economical restoration/filling, but instead, dental fear paralyzed them until the tooth pain compelled them to seek out emergency care. So, the moral of my story is that an ounce of prevention will truly save you a pound of tooth pain. May all of your smiles be happy and bright.
