DETAILS BEHIND THE DENTIST

When did you first get into dentistry?

I became a dental assistant my senior year of high school and loved it. Then I went to the UW. In 2007 I took over my first office from a dentist with an existing practice.

Why were you drawn to the practice?

There are neurons that create certain feelings stemming from a smile. A person’s smile is very psychological, and I like helping people with that connection.

Where are your two brick-andmortar offices?

In the Laurelhurst and Magnolia communities.

What does “holistic dentistry” mean to you?

Holistic health starts from the inside. That means we look at everything from dental anxiety, dental history and gum measurements to blood pressure and more. We are looking at the whole body, because dental health can actually become very systemic.

What’s one thing you wish everyone knew about dentistry? Prevention is the key.
