We asked Dr. Jenny why she chose to work in pediatrics… Her response was ?When I first practiced dentistry I was in a rural town and I saw all of the kids at our office. This is where I first developed a love of working with children. When kids visit the dentist from an early age we are able to shape their experience so that it is fun and positive. Sometimes children are nervous or have had a bad experience in the past. When we can help them overcome those fears and give them confidence…there is no better feeling! Prevention is a key aspect of pediatric dentistry. Educating kids and parents about oral health and preventing cavities is totally rewarding.
