Why She Loves Being a Provider
“I love educating parents about early childhood caries while their child is still a baby, possibly with only a few teeth. I feel that if a parent learns how to properly care for their child’s teeth before most of their teeth erupt, it has the potential to greatly affect their future dental health.”
