Dr. Suzanne’s specialized training helps her provide the most up-to-date and extra care for a wide variety of children’s dental problems.
Dr. Suzanne encourages children to visit the dentist by the time they are a year old or when their first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. She believes in finding an individual “dental home” for each patient, where the ongoing relationship between the dentist and patient provides all aspects of oral health care as the child grows. These aspects include anticipating growth and development issues, diagnosing and treating oral diseases and conditions, dietary counseling, and referring to dental specialists. Dr. Suzanne is also trained and qualified in the management of child behavior and the provision of care utilizing various sedation modalities.
Dr. Suzanne is a diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry (ABPD), member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD), and Orange County Dental Society (OCDS).
