My passion was set into motion when my first child was labeled, “failure to thrive.” Breastfeeding was excruciating and I felt powerless. After two decades in dentistry, even I did not realize that a tongue tie was the source of our challenges. Curriculum related to tethered oral issues, like tongue, lip and cheek ties, is not covered in depth in dental school.  The challenges my daughter and I experienced, birthed in me a relentless pursuit for knowledge, which led to a career altering choice to specialize in this life-changing treatment. As a mother, I empathize with the unique struggle families face at this vulnerable time.  In a radical shift from traditional healthcare models, you can expect personalized care and substantial one-on-one time with me.  It is my personal goal to Educate, Encourage, and Empower the families I serve while helping my patients thrive and reach their full potential. I look forward to assisting you and your family.
