I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I’m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health.
I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.
Regular dental cleanings are important to prevent plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. They keep your breath fresh, your smile bright, and help detect problems early. Even with daily brushing, only a dentist can remove hardened tartar. Visiting every six months helps avoid bigger, costlier issues later.
Yes, you should see a dentist even if your teeth feel fine. Many dental issues like cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer can develop silently without pain or visible signs. Regular checkups help catch problems early before they become serious or costly. Preventive care is key to keeping your mouth healthy long-term.

You should change your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t clean your teeth effectively and can harm your gums. Also replace it after an illness to avoid reintroducing germs.
You might have gum disease if you notice red, swollen, or bleeding gums—especially when brushing or flossing. Other signs include persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or a change in your bite. Gum disease often starts silently, so regular dental checkups are the best way to catch it early.
