"I've been a specialist in children's dentistry at Grove Dental for over twenty-five years, and I'm always thrilled to get another kid off on the right track toward a lifetime of proper dental health.
"Prevention is the key to children's dentistry. That's why my staff and I place a high priority on patient education. I believe kids should know as much about their own dental health as their parents do. My staff and I work hard to keep this high level of communication. We are here to help your kids keep a healthy, happy smile for years to come.
"We want your kids to look forward to visiting us. That's why our office was designed with them in mind. Plus, having five kids of my own has helped me make your child's visit fun while giving them quality dental care."
"A Far-Reaching Education. . .
...ensures your child receives advanced dental care that's fun for everyone. When I see a child walk out with a smile due not only to my gentle dental care, but because they had a good time, I know I've done something right. It's this type of personal contact that keeps me practicing."

"Giving Back To The Community. . .
...and providing dental services to the less fortunate children in my local community is something I enjoy immensely. It gives me a sense of gratitude that I bring back to my office and share with each of my patients every day."
