Where I Am
Where I Am
When not wandering outdoors or making my living space as cozy as possible, I'm covering offices in KY, AZ, and MI as a locum tenens dentist while finding a great fit for starting my post-residency practice of periodontics.
Some of my professional interests and passions include patient education and communication, periodontal plastic surgery, women's health, lasers, and advocacy.
Why Perio
Why Perio
Healthy teeth need healthy gums and support structures. As a general dentist, I saw how foundational this is to the success of dental treatment and to overall health. Working with patients to achieve and maintain periodontal health lays the foundation for oral health for a lifetime.
Some areas of interest that led me to periodontics:
hard and soft tissue augmentation
hormonal influence on periodontal health and disease
oral microbiology
utilization of lasers in dentistry
prevention and management of peri-implantitis
systemic and localized inflammation
