Children are always a special case as long-term dental vitality begins at a young age. I have lots of hand-drawn pictures from my younger patients expressing their gratitude. Orthodontics, including removable appliances, is another area of interest. Finally, there is nothing worse in life than constant insufferable pain caused by TMJ. I have specifically focused on providing my expertise and techniques to help restore both the physical and mental well-being of my patients allowing them to lead normal lives. Personal Biography: I was born and raised in the Bahamas. My husband and I live in Alameda County where I have a non-profit youth program for children ages 11 – 14, “Kids On The Move America”. In my spare time, I enjoy attending family activities, reading, cooking, gardening, and traveling.
