  • Meet Dr. Ericson- Your General Dentist at Grove Dental in Downers Grove
March 02, 2012

We sat down with Dr. Norma Ericson to learn more about her decision to become a dentist, her passion for dentistry, and her interests outside of the office.

How did you decide that you wanted to become a dentist?
Dr. Ericson:  After working as a dental assistant while studying abroad in England, I realized that my true passion lied not just in fixing teeth, but putting lasting smiles on my patients’ faces. It was then that I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. After completing dental school, I came to Grove Dental and have been here ever since.  

In what ways are you committed to continuing education?
Dr. Ericson: I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. Since then I’ve continually exceeded the yearly-required amount of continuing education in order to stay abreast of the latest dental techniques and technologies.  The quality of dentistry I provide stems from my disciplined and committed approach toward education and learning. But all the schooling in the world can’t teach the personal attention I provide to each of my patients. It’s this balance of education and personalized care that keeps patients coming back year after year.

How would you describe your approach to caring for your patients’ dental health?
Dr. Ericson: During my time at Grove, I’ve learned that the key to effective dentistry is a partnership between the patient, my staff and me. Our entire staff is involved in caring for our patients and providing them with information regarding the patient’s dental care. Then, the patient makes the best choice. This involvement in decision-making helps ensure patients have all the information needed for optimal dental health.

Outside of dentistry, what are some of your favorite pastimes?
Dr. Ericson:  Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my dog. I also love the outdoors, spending time running, biking, hiking, or swimming when I find the time. More recently I took a painting class to try something new!
