Health & Wellness
I am so grateful to be in the dental profession at this exciting time! Building relationships and creating beautiful, healthy smiles to last a lifetime is my passion. Your oral health has been scientifically proven (time and time again) to play a critical role in your total body health and wellness. I truly hope to have a positive and maybe even profound impact on your over-all health and well-being. It is my desire to build trust and rapport, and to learn about your particular concerns. With an integrative approach, I’ll work with you in attaining your esthetic and functional goals and we’ll review how your oral health influences your systemic health, and vice versa. I want for you to feel welcome, comfortable and to know that you are important to the entire BDD Team. Most of all, I hope to empower you to live up to your utmost health potential.

Personal Life
I grew up in Tyler, TX and fell in love with New Hampshire when I moved here in 2007. I live in Brentwood with my husband Steve and two sons, Micah and Griffin. Our family also includes our two dogs Aggy and Star. Fun Fact: Besides being a health nerd, I love all things Star Wars, Marvel and Harry Potter.
