I enjoy seeing our patients grow as they become part of our DFC family. When they are young, I love to see their excitement when they've had a great visit with no cavities. Later on, we hear updates on high school life and activities, and the excitement that goes along with graduating. Knowing that we have been a part of helping them maintain those beautiful smiles warms my heart.

My favorite part about working at DFC? It’s hard to choose between our amazing team and the children, so I choose both! I absolutely love the innocent questions the children have about their teeth. They are so proud when they begin to understand and have a great check-up. It’s so gratifying.

My favorite part about working at DFC is my co-workers. They make coming to work everyday fun. The kids are super fun, too. I love seeing their smiles when they do so well at their appointments, and are rewarded with balloons and stickers!

Working with children everyday is a great reminder that it’s the simple things in life that really matter. There’s no feeling like the one you get seeing the joy in their faces from something as simple as a sticker or animal balloon!

Working with my childhood dentist (Dr. Dennis) is special to me. He and all of my coworkers make coming to work enjoyable. I also love seeing the kids light up with big smiles – their gratitude is very rewarding to me.

I love seeing when patients come back with a positive attitude about dental appointments, when their parents thought it wasn't possible.

My favorite part about working with kids is to be able to help them understand the importance of taking good care of their teeth while they’re young so that they can have healthy, beautiful smiles as adults. I had trauma with my teeth as a child, so I understand when some are not excited to come. I like to support those who are worried about their dental visits and help them to feel less anxious. It’s so rewarding when they learn that coming to the dentist can be fun.

I enjoy working at Dentistry for Children because I truly love working with kids! They make every day exciting! I love to see how happy they get when I make them a balloon animal at the end of their visit.

My favorite part about working at Dentistry for Children is being able to connect with kids. Especially those who come in nervous and leave with a smile on their face.
