Leading the Way for
Early Interceptive Treatment
So Kids Grow Up with Healthy Smiles
No child should have to grow up bullied because of their teeth....
But teeth are the easiest, most visible target for a bully. Persistent bullying can be devastating to the child, the family, and society as a whole.
But this can be PREVENTED!
This is why I’m passionate about early interceptive orthodontic treatment. I want to make sure every child over the age of 7 gets checked up to see if there’s a future problem we can fix today.
Teeth have a direct impact on a child’s self-esteem and oral-health-related quality of life. Study after study shows that following the start of orthodontic treatment, 78% of children report they were currently no longer being bullied because of their teeth.
Imagine a world where we’re taking proactive measures to stop bullying before it starts. That’s my purpose and passion.
