I enjoy teaching dental students, new dentists as well as professionals established in the community on the benefits of delivering comprehensive care to patients with Special Health Care Needs (SHCN’s) and/or medical complexities!
Furthermore, teaching members of the community, such as seniors, parents and caregivers on how to care for their own and their loved ones’ teeth, while making sound financial decisions is a privilege. Thank you for thinking of me.
