Dr. Jenny specializes in caring for children and teens. She also specializes in caring for children with special needs. We are committed to teaching kids the importance of taking care of their teeth. We have invested in several interactive learning tools so that kids and teens value the important role they play in developing strong, healthy teeth. Educating kids extends well beyond our office.

We empower kids to take ownership and pride in caring for their teeth. We believe that when given the right information about oral care, kids will be more inclined to brush and floss their teeth regularly. We take time to show kids how to properly care for their teeth so that they have a great visit during their routine check-ups. We challenge our patients through encouragement and education because we know the impact a great smile can have in boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
